Not saying that they are for sure using this for one (or any) of the guys we are discussing, but LSU does offer an accredited, online accelerated learning program that enrolls and begins in the month of October. So that is a potential, out the box avenue for them to roster players that is completely above board when it comes to NCAA student-athlete eligibility conversations.

Sometimes when I don't have the answers, I lean on the past as the best predictor of the future. Between our four coaches on staff, they've got approximately 125 years of college coaching experience. Not once in those 125 years have any of them not fielded a roster. So I've gotta believe that the odds are in our favor that we will have 7-9 dudes in purple and gold ready to get after it when the season tips off.

So we gotta stay in this second tier football conference now and keep watching the B1G dominate the national scene? That's a fricking bummer.

We will hear LSU is going to suspend Kiffin, imo.
How would the member institutions handle this? Cause all of them want Kiffin to be suspended for their own games vs LSU. Does Ole Miss win because they're the next conference opponent? That would piss Tennessee off big time.

Well except LSU of course.
Ehhhh, mixed opinions on that. As a LSU fan, I would prefer to stay in the SEC however it's not the only conference that LSU could have success (financial and competitive) in. It'll work out however it is supposed to.

1. LSU's AD releases a statement that states they will no longer consider adding professional players to the roster.
2. Apologize for attempting to break the rules
3. Punish Lane Kiffin internally in the form of a fine or a short suspension
If the conference is willing to push all of that on a team that didn't roster kids who they legally had the ability to... one of the few SEC schools that played this weekend without a single player on a TRO.... the rest of yall need to start asking when it will be you on the chopping block. Make sure yall don't spill a drop when you're carrying Master Sankey's water.
quote:
Are LSU fans really dumb enough to think they would be better off out of the SEC?
No, but that isn't a decision that is in LSU's hands. Either way it spins, LSU needs to proceed with doing what is best for LSU solely. Don't expect a conference to benefit you when they'll vote on expulsion based on a school not breaking the rules.

The entire conference has always hated Ole Miss.
Nobody even knows you guys are in the friggin room, man.
I'm interested in someone explaining the part about "silence from Rousse following the August 26th vote"....

After the past month, I'd argue that Kiffin has more control over his institution than Sankey does.
Thank God Sankey wasn't commish when Spurrier was in his prime. All those mean words would have drover him over the edge.

If you don't think that would ultimately lead to civil court, I don't know what to say for you. I know Lane touched you in a bad place, but I didn't realize he broke you quite like this. That's crazy.
re: Other SEC fans - you want to expel LSU for breaking no rules and a halftime joke?

ESPN will use anything they can to renegotiate a more favorable deal - that's just simple business. The conference could lose Vandy, and ESPN will use it as an excuse to get back to the table. It doesn't have to have any validity, it's a contractual clause that the SEC signed when they inked the media deal. SEC stands to lose money if they kick ANYONE out of the league. Business will rule over fandom 100x's out of 100 with the universities. They're here to make money.

Legally, you can wipe your arse with that argument. In the court of law, everything after "Not on paper" is completely meaningless. I hope there are folks more intelligent and rational than you in the league office, or they'll be penniless by the holidays.

The other 15 schools told LSU to stop weeks ago and they kept going,
Quite the opposite. They were actually given legal cover to add these guys on roster and chose not to. LSU went out of their way here to not add these players, even though they could have.

including getting the SEC/Sankey brought into the suit.
Show me where LSU was the named plaintiff in that suit. They weren't. LSU didn't go to court last week.
quote:
But if the ruling ultimately went in LSU's favor
The court case was between a group of athletes looking for eligibility and the SEC. LSU was not a party to either side of the actual court case (which will have tremendous consequences in the pending civil suits should the SEC want to step too far out on the ledge). LSU obviously had a tremendous amount to gain, I am not trying to act naive to that, but in the strictest definition of the law and how a judge will see this moving forward, this is the conference leadership's panicked response. They have no legal recourse to hurt the actual plaintiffs (student athletes) here, so they are going to try to take it out on anyone loosely associated (but not legally associated).
The judge gave the players their eligibility and LSU still didn't roster them. That's also not going to play very well for the conference here. This is 100% to do with Sankey's pride and the fact that he came into a courtroom completely unprepared and the actual court record proves it. He was exposed for what he is, and this is a weak attempt to try to regain some of the foolish pride he left on that stand.
I think ultimately this hurts him specifically. Not only will the member institutions cover their own (for the sake of enormous negative financial implications), but there is no doubt that there are side conversations between university presidents and AD's about moving on from Sankey after this. He is in over his head and doubling down on stupid. LSU will be able to fund the biggest NIL budget in the country solely on what they will recoup in a civil suit should the SEC vote to remove LSU.

Chambliss's eligibility does not violate SEC rules. He never signed a professional contract, unlike Wright and Harris, among others.
SEC issued more than one rule. You are correct that Chambliss didn't violate the rule concerning professional contracts (although the SEC commissioner just mere hours ago could not even explain what constitutes becoming a professional).
But they also confirmed their stance with the NCAA that players would have 5 years to play 5 seasons. Chambliss is entering year 6.
quote:
They'll say they "just attended unpaid minicamp(s)" and never "signed a contract".
Which is a clear demonstration of a choice to "move on from college athletics" (Sankey's words, not mine).

What if all of this is Lane playing the Long Con to have Chambliss deemed ineligible at the last minute.
It would be out of a similar playbook that he used to successfully end this 'fake-injury to slow down football games'. He complained about how it was unfair, the SEC ignored him, so he had his guys make it so freaking blatant and time consuming that they had to step in and correct it. Lane is a freak, man, and I mean that in the most positive way possible.

These athletes last completed under 25/26 manual and exhausted eligiblity under that manual. New does not apply because they never completed under new rules.
New rules are prospective and not retrospective
Perfect. So Chambliss is ineligible. Glad we got that figured out.

I wanna know what constitutes a contract in their eyes?
Do NFL minicamps just let anyone off the street try out?
No waivers are signed?
Aren't waivers a contract?
Mini-camp participants get per-diem, correct? For anyone on the NCAA or SEC level to pretend that doesn't matter... that's completely ignorant.

So that doesn't make him ineligible based on the NFL signing/participation rule, definitely.
Now do the 5 to play 5 rule :lol:

They listed 3 criteria that a player can meet to be considered a professional player. One of which is simply entering the draft and not "appropriately withdrawing".
I think 99% of people will be in agreement with this moving forward across the board. But this particular group of kids did not have any benefit to withdraw because they were told at the time that their eligibility was exhausted. Then a month later the NCAA completely flip-flopped on that.
quote:
Also, what makes the MLB draft different from any other professional draft?
I am probably speaking out of my arse here, but I believe you don't have to register for the MLB draft. They can draft you or I if they want to. You obviously don't have to sign (or even negotiate) if you don't want to, but there is no way to withdraw from the draft because you never officially opted-in to begin with. Again - I may be wrong on that, but that is how I understand it to operate on a basic understanding level.
