SEC will have to give up on the season

I’ve been told that schools will refuse to play schools that have the players and the playoff committee will ban them from the playoffs
quote:

This whole post is about the SEC collectively refusing to play LSU.


You’ll have to refuse to play half your schedule then, good luck
quote:

If Ole Miss signs any of them we better be getting to the national title game or it’s not worth it in the least


But I’ve been seeing ole Miss fans saying lsu should be banned by the playoff committee from competing in the playoff because of this

How will yall win the championship when yall can’t play in it?
quote:

Chambliss didn’t sign a pro contract.


Not the only way to be considered not eligible by the NCAA clearly
quote:

It just depends on if the judge views the NCAA to be colluding with its member conferences to keep these kids from playing.


Yes it can and may be argued that the language of the injunction applies to conferences, arguing some antitrust violations

The SEC however will be sued outside court case likely, if this if they have not been already
quote:

From the NCAA. This has nothing to do with the rules the SEC made public yesterday.


I never said that, I said if they lose that case the SEC rule passed this week is moot, the players wont be NCAA eligible, so an SEC rule means nothing


quote:

Ok the SEC never said they couldn’t compete or would punish the player
If the SEC is sued and loses, they cannot punish the players or school, that is the point of the injunction. The OP said players sue SEC (which it appears it has) and they win, the players can play with no penalty

we are going in circles here
quote:

I need proof on that. I don’t think you are correct.

quote:

The temporary restraining order won last week lasts for 10 days. On Monday, Judge William Jordan will oversee the preliminary injunctive hearing in Baton Rouge. Should that injunction be granted in favor of the players versus the NCAA, Clayton believes all of the plaintiffs in the suit should be granted the opportunity to play without penalty.
quote:

I am almost positive Monday is the suit against the SEC and a completely different suit. Nothing will be permanent for months when the suit is actually litigated. TROs are temporary until the suit actually plays out.
No, it is the suit against the NCAA

players are currently under a 10 day TRO, if they lose monday, everything is over for them and the SEC rule is a moot point

They may try to make an argument that the ruling applies to the SEC under the language of the injunction but the suit does not specifically name the SEC
The TRO is 10 days, next ruling on it is Monday Aug 31, if they win that the NCAA will drop the case
quote:

If there is an injunction against the SEC the SEC will not be able to penalize a school for playing those players, period


Also not true


willfully ignorant, it is the literal point of the injunction
quote:


I did. Here is the difference. Suing the NCAA is easy. Get a TRO and push the rest of the court dates until after the season
The TRO is literally for 10 days, the ruling on permanence is monday
quote:

The down side of suing the SEC and playing is the school you play for will get punished for playing you whether you are still there or not. Wright could play this year. Lose in court in March and SEC punish LSU in April.


If there is an injunction against the SEC the SEC will not be able to penalize a school for playing those players, period
quote:

The SEC is not the NCAA. The SEC is warning LSU that no matter what the NCAA elegibility situation is
You specifically said players sue the SEC in your OP, if they sue the SEC and get the TRO, they are eligible and cannot be punished by SEC, if they get a permanent RO they are eligible for the whole season

can only be punished if played outside of a RO, and can only be punished for those times played outside of RO
quote:

Those are injunctions against the NCAA. this is against the SEC
correct, you said they would so the SEC thus if they win, the injunction would be against the SEC
quote:

Says who? They absolutely can when the appeal is completed and the SEC has won.
Says every injunction granted over the last 2 seasons

Ask alabama
quote:

Right but it will be finished even if in 2 years and the SEC will punish LSU for playing the players. You realize this right?


A TRO is granted for a limited time, then there is a ruling on whether it will be permanent

Teams can play those players under TRO and the SEC cannot punish them and cannot retroactively punish them if permanent TRO is not granted

They can only punish if a school plays them outside of a RO and the punishment cant be retroactive to a time the players were eligible
If a court grants a TRO against the SEC the SEC will not be able to penalize the coach or institution as the players are eligible in the SEC at that moment even if temporarily, they can only be punished if players play if no permanent injunction is granted and the school plays them anyway,. Cannot do retroactive punishment.


and to answer your question, do I think it is worth the squeeze? Maybe not, but at this point we are so far down the rabbit hole whether we backoff or move forward it wont make a difference to anywone on the outside, might as well get some players out of it if we can

Lasso has some killer ryes. I just got my hands on a bottle of the James Dean rye

Had a "10 yr" rye pick of theirs that was actually 13.5 years that they just put under the 10 yr label, was excellent

I wish everyone could see the logic behind it al


They do
I am not sure the conferences can declare players ineligible, I think the NCAA has to

I think their only recourse is fines
quote:



They formally passed a rule like 5 minutes ago also banning this


Lets see how the teams respond as some already have players committed :popcorn:
