You think the SEC filed an appeal in the Bediako case?
The SEC was never a named defendent in that case, it was solely between the NCAA and Bediako. The SEC filed an official affadvit in support of the NCAA's position.
So the SEC didn’t even get involved when one of their member institutions rostered and played a former professional player?
Even better. More proof of selective enforcement and failure to maintain competitive balance within their conference.

This has been answered soooo many times.
Why must we recreate the wheel in every single thread?

Mostly, because the SEC didn't immediately create a rule, as they did in this case.
The rule's orgin is fairly ambiguous; it appears to have existed already but was simply not enforced during the Bediako situation.

I personally haven't received any type of logical rebuttal. Just a lot of deflection.

You are correct. The SEC did not even legally go after Alabama at all. Now all of a sudden they are threatening severe punishment against LSU and filing lawsuits.
Makes the SEC look even more discriminatory and bias.

It proves it’s ok to play them under court order with no penalties. You stated that set the precedent on whether pro players can play. WRONG. Close your cock holster before you look even more like a clown.
Sankey testified under oath that those rules were always in place. His answer for why Bediako was allowed to play was he had a court order.
No different. LSU will play the players until the SEC can get it reversed. And face no penalties for it. Bediako case set precedent. You said it yourself. You just left out the rest of the details of what precedent his case actually set.
Poor Gumps becoming more irrelevant by the day.

The mental gymnastics it takes to reason that a guy YEARS removed from college,
I'm not trying to do any gymnastics, but the truth of the matter is there are players that have played for a few years as PROFESSIONALS in Europe that play CBB. Why wasn't Bediako allowed to do the same thing?

And he was ruled ineligible after 4 or 5 games. Then he was off the team.
So LSU shouldn’t follow the judges orders then is what you’re saying?
Good to know.

But apparently, they made a distinction between the pro leagues
There has always been a distinction. Just as there is also a distinction between never playing in college and playing in college and leaving for a pro league.
There are carve outs to allow accomodations for how different parts of the world handle youth sports. Likewise, not all EuroPros are eligible to play in college. There are standards that have to be met in order to retain the ability to play.
quote:
because they ruled against Bediako
They've ruled against Euro players as well. They've been very consistent that you cannot leave college for a pro league and sign with a professional team and come back.

The conference didn't, an Alabama judge did.
If not for the judge, Bediako would've played the whole season. The conference protested a bit but took no real action.

Why is the Big10 seemingly having no controversy at all when they have the exact same rule as the SEC?

My bad. Did I miss the lawsuit against Alabama for signing and playing a former pro?
