These guys deserve to be on the roster and should be.
I agree
LSU will be fine, regardless of what those idiots in the SEC do. LSU football would be fine no matter what.

easily
We have to roster the players now

Imagine if we backed down and caved in:
1) Harris and Wright get pissed, claim breach of contract and sue LSU
2) 3-4 weeks go by and there's an announcement from the SEC: "In light of recent circumstances we have decided to amend our policy regarding former NFL players. The rule is now, if you have ever played in an NFL game you cannot come back."
3) Within 30 minutes of the SEC announcement Alabama announces both Harris and Wright will finish the season as part of the team.

re: CFP Statement

"Strongly supports"...so a meaningless statement.
Until it ends up in Judge Jordan's courtroom next hearing as evidence the CFP is preparing to also punish LSU. Want to guess who gets added to the lawsuit?
Dude, they were going to screw us anyway and leave us out if there was ANY way for them to do it.
frick em, we do what we do - lets go 12-0 and frick all of y'all. Hang the damn banner

No....No he doesn't he's not at LSU. Haven't you been following this?
in full :
"The CFP strongly supports the positions and rules of individual conferences concerning the return to college of athletes with professional draft, contract or roster ties. These conference rules are intended to protect the needs, interests and integrity of the sport. The CFP believes that certain clear rules should be followed so that individual institutions fielding FBS football teams know what will be expected of them, and so that the public can have full confidence in the competitive integrity of the sport. Given the ongoing legal proceedings, we will not have further comments on the matter at this time."
We all want clear rules. The rules as set forth are anything but clear.
"These conference rules are intended to punish LSU while allowing Texas to play former pro players" - FIFY

Third, CRAD requires Judge Axon to weigh the presence of a federal question. The SEC's primary defense against abstention is that its suit relies on a core First Amendment federal question.
The first amendment deals with free speech. The SEC and Greg Sanky have been spouting off every chance they get, nobody has stopped them or tried to stop them from expressing themselves.
Interfering with the free association of the schools might be a bit stronger case but probably still pretty weak - it's a stretch to say that "The LSU coach made 4-5 phone calls to Harris and Wright, and because he made those phone calls the other 15 schools were impeded and are now impeded from associating with each other." - in fact the opposite has been true, if anything coach Kiffins conduct has led to a stronger association between the other 15 schools - they got together to discuss expulsion of LSU.
I bet it gets tossed

yes
NCAA and SEC: "If you have played in an NFL game you may not return to college"
Posted by Jabontik on 9/4/26 at 9:30 am
Why didn't they just use this standard? Easy to understand, easy to prove, easy to enforce. Fair and even.
they didn't word it like this for one reason - they want to prosecute LSU and no one else.

"No signed contract" in their rules
It cant be that simple with contracts because Sanky wants to target only LSU and leave Texas alone, and the Texas player signed a minicamp contract. So if you go down that route, you have to detail exactly what type of contract, etc. Then of course its obvious you are targeting LSU so you might as well just say LSU is not allowed to do this or that.
If they really wanted to make a rule, all they have to do is say no one who has played in an NFL game may return to college.
Simple. Easy to define, easy to enforce.
But they dont want to do that, they just want to go after LSU.

POST THE PICTURES
I'll wait. Did they suit up like this guy, who somehow is NOT considered a "former pro", and is currently playing for Texas?
