I understand the controversy over the Class of '22 and the extra year of eligibility and the rules regarding professionalism, but what I don't understand is this. Why is LSU being singled out with lawsuits and threats of sanctions and expulsion by the conference?

I mean, several SEC schools (Mizzou, A & M, Kentucky, Ole Miss) have players on their roster against the old professionalism rules. Kentucky has Alex Afari, who had to sit out week one to make sure he clears waivers from the Packers. A couple of years ago, Alabama played a basketball center who had actually logged minutes in an NBA game. The SEC has allowed all of this, but when Kentucky wanted to bring Mark Mitchell on to their roster, it seems like people in the SEC offices lost their minds.

All of this will eventually be resolved, but it will be in the courts or the Halls of Congress. Since we are dealing with universities, whose primary purpose is supposed to be the well-being and growth of the students, the decision will ultimately likely come down to protecting the rights of the players to earn money, freely move around to where they can maximize their potential earnings, and in favor of the players in general. The courts will take a dim view of all of the inconsistent enforcement of the rules by the SEC and NCAA.

It’s been an issue every game I watched them this year. Why can’t Barnes work on that?

Gotta be sharp and on your toes to watch the Tide head to the Sweet Sixteen.

ESPN absolutely sucks

Yowsers! What a turnaround in 24 hours. Stein going to work in the portal and apparently has a lot of resources at his disposal

Let's look at home things would have gone if this was the '80s.

Indiana, ranked No. 1, would play in the Rose Bowl against Oregon, ranked No. 5.

Georgia, ranked No. 3, is the top ranked SEC team, and would play in the Sugar Bowl against Ohio State, ranked No. 2, the second place BIG team.

Texas Tech, ranked No. 4, would play in the Cotton Bowl against probably Ole Miss or Texas A & M, probably A & M because the bowl would want a Texas team to draw fans.

If Indiana wins its rematch with Oregon, then no way the OSU/UGA winner leapfrogs them, right?

Also, if Oregon beats Indiana, could they leapfrog the teams ahead of them, ala, Miami in the early 1980s when they beat Nebraska in the Orange Bowl and went from No. 5 to No. 1 in the final polls?

Anybody taking the Cats to cover?

Florida is showing up. Didn’t realize they got Boogie Fland. 66-64 UF 30 secs left

Wait, it shows a flight landing in Lexington from State College at 12:18 pm, an Embraer Phenom 300E

With Mark Stoops onboard. All I can say is Wow
