Wade doesn’t even have a full roster and games start in less than 2 months. But that’s a different story

I too can just make things up out of thin air. Imagine thinking LSU only has four players on its basketball roster embarrassing

That's a good one. I wouldn't be surprised if those exact words were included in the hayseed Ole Miss judge's order.

I guess you'd have to ask those specific people. I have no problem with his age. I have no problem with Ole Miss doing all they can to make him eligible.

I have a problem with this conference picking and choosing when they want to determine eligibility.


THIS!

Several hundred players have been declared ineligible for various reasons by the NCAA and then gotten a TRO or preliminary injunction prohibiting the NCAA from enforcing their ineligibility. All but two have ended up being put on a roster.

Now, you may reasonably argue those two players should not have gotten TROs because they don't fit into the same bucket as the rest. However, the NCAA has had three chances in court to demonstrate that and haven't been able to do so.

So those two players are being treated differently for one reason: The SEC created a rule AFTER they got their TRO and then threatened to expel LSU from the SEC for the mere rostering of them. They sued in federal court to try to establish their right to prevent LSU from trying to claim damages if such an expulsion happened, going so far as including the Louisiana AG as a defendant essentially for submitting an Amicus Brief supporting those two in response to the SEC sticking their nose into the case.

Really, all the SEC had to do is to write the rule they ended up with during the May spring meeting and apply it to every player who did NFL OTAs. That's it. This would have prevented any of the feelings from LSU fans that we are being targeted by the SEC. The players may not have sued the NCAA at all if their only choice would been teams from the SWAC or SunBelt. And, after the Charles Bediako affair, they should have seen this coming.

You either follow all TROs or you open yourself to accusations of bias and hypocrisy. You also might find yourself having to defend yourself in court.

GEAUX TIGERS!

Brah, we had a National Championship QB who was older than Chambliss. If you’re gonna troll, at least do some research.

LSU fans talk about muh Chambliss playing 5 years like he wasn’t playing D2 ball like a year ago.

LSU has become such a petty pathetic small time program.

I wouldn't really call Ole Miss "D2", but you do you.

Well at least you can admit you’re obsessed with Kiffin and LSU.

Recognizing the problem is the first step to solving it.

All I want is for LSU fans to admit they wouldn’t give a crap about the whole situation if Chambliss was at Kentucky or Vandy or South Carolina.

Would you admit you’d be against it if Chambliss had transferred to LSU in the offseason?

I’ve been against all these TROs if you really want to have that conversation.

Of course I would be against chambliss at LSU. Not because of his age, but because we’re rivals

Nah. I gave no fricks about Trinidad getting another year. Knew he was good, but not that good. He’s no Jayden, but his poise gave us fits before we adjusted. Regardless of how we schemed against him the first half, you gotta tip your cap to his play, as well as their D line. I wish we had adjusted sooner, but they made the plays to win the game.

Age has never been a qualifier on NCAA eligibility. Not sure what your point is.
Yep - saw a deal on TV the other day that a 48 year preacher was playing defensive end for some small school. Don't remember the school nor state.

Not saying I agree with either case but I truly think Wright and Harris are given their fifth year if Lane Kiffin and LSU weren’t spearheading their cause.


Didn't the court system grant these 2 players the right to play, like Chambliss? Kiffin won the decision; what are you bellyaching about?

I had no problem with TC getting another year. I actually supported it.
