Could the SEC members vote to exclude all Asians from competition and its members be protected by that policy?
The existence of protected classes does not mean that exclusion is illegal across the board
Race is a protected class. Former employment is not.

quote:if the NCAA and SEC haven’t set rules for that scenario I would be shocked. And even then, it doesn’t prevent a male athlete to bring suit against them for a practice that may exclude them.
So Bama can suit up men to play women’s basketball next year and the league can’t say no? That’s by definition exclusionary.
Then a court rules, then that decision is enforceable.
It is really simple. All the what ifs will follow the same scenario.
If the NCAA and SEC were too dense to foresee this in light of the NIL, transfer rules and newly established 5 for 5 rule, no one can help them
But, under oath Sankey admitted to ignorance of a major ruling. If the members want to to be mad, I can tell you where they should direct their anger

The rule in question was passed within the last week. Who don’t they apply to.
And why did they pass the rule just this last week?
To target one school. That isn't right.
That is my whole point

Admittedly different laws.
My point is both are illegal in the eyes of the courts. 16 SEC schools agreeing to break a law doesn’t make it ok.
The 2022s are being singled out and treated differently/unfairly. The NCAA ruling them ineligible violates antitrust. The SEC’s policy does the same thing.
Sankey doubled down on it yesterday saying the players chose to move on. The 2022 players didn’t have a choice.

It’s their choice who is eligible to participate within their conference.
When it violates human rights by clearly singling people out? No it is not lol.

That was proven false by the person who made the joke initially. There were 30+ players on the Louisiana suit - many sports, many schools. Vanderbilt had a player on the list. It was orchestrated by Texas Trial Group. But people who want to hate Kiffin will hate Kiffin. I’ve been there.
I don’t know what evidence the league has if they don’t it won’t go well in discovery.
They seek to think they have the goods.
TBD

You’re essentially saying that they will just pick and choose what rules to follow.
If LSU plays players prohibited by league rule that’s exactly what they’re going to be doing and every other school will follow suit if no consequences ensue.

No, courts can not make laws. Congressional bodies make laws.
