What This Means for Saturday's GameBecause the state judge's injunction legally shields LSU from conference retaliation, LSU is cleared to finalize its 105-man roster tomorrow morning with the former NFL athletes included. While tight end Dae'Quan Wright remains sit-out restricted for the Clemson opener due to separate, unfulfilled 7-day practice duration requirements, the remaining eligible former NFL players are legally cleared to suit up.The Federal Counter-MoveKeep in mind, while LSU won this battle in state court, the SEC's federal lawsuit against LSU, Lane Kiffin, and athletic director Verge Ausberry is still completely active in Birmingham. The SEC will now try to get a federal judge to override Judge Jorden's state-level order on First Amendment grounds.The next step is waiting to see how LSU's legal team officially responds to the SEC's new federal filing.

The Judge's Direct OrderJudge Jorden officially ruled that the SEC and Commissioner Greg Sankey are legally barred from enforcing punishments or penalties against member universities that roster or play former NFL contract athletes.The text of the written order explicitly blocks the SEC from imposing any of the severe bylaws they passed last week, meaning:No 50% budget fines can be leveled against LSU.No half-season suspensions can be forced upon head coach Lane Kiffin.No loss of league voting rights can be enacted against the university.

Forgive me if this has been posted, but it appears the SEC has brought this to federal court now
The Federal Lawsuit: Rather than waiting for the state judge's ruling, the SEC has filed a federal suit in an attempt to block LSU from putting former NFL contracted players on its roster. The conference is escalating the battle to a higher court to protect its right to enforce its own bylaws.

It got it from WAFB channel 9
Sankey Grilled on the Stand: SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey was called as the first witness by the plaintiffs' attorney, Tony Clayton. The questioning quickly became exceptionally heated, drawing a flurry of immediate objections from the SEC’s legal defense team as they tried to shield the commissioner.The SEC Bypassed the NCAA: On the stand, Sankey stated via affidavit that the SEC's 15-0 vote to ban former pros was done completely independently. He emphasized that the SEC was acting entirely on its own authority as a conference and was not colluding with the NCAA to target Lane Kiffin or LSU's roster.

Judge Sides with the SEC on "Improper Cumulation": In a significant initial victory for the conference, Judge Jorden sided with the SEC's argument that the lawsuit represents an "improper cumulation" of claims. The SEC successfully argued that out of the 44 total athlete plaintiffs, only 7 have any actual connection to an SEC school.What This Means: The judge ruled that the vast majority of the plaintiffs cannot bring claims against the SEC since they don't play for SEC teams. SEC attorney Jason Williams famously illustrated this to the judge by stating, "If someone slipped and fell in Walmart, you couldn't bring a suit against Costco."

Thx!!
The 7-Day Practice Rule: Court details note that Wright only started practicing with LSU this week. Because of the NCAA's requirement that an athlete must practice for seven days before playing in a game, Wright will be ineligible for Saturday's home opener against Clemson regardless of how the judge rules today. However, the ruling remains critical for his and the other players' long-term status on the 105-man roster.SEC Pushes "Voluntary" Membership: The SEC’s legal team is heavily leaning into the argument that LSU is a voluntary member of their private association. They argue that even if the court protects the players, the court does not have the authority to stop a private conference from enforcing rules its own member universities collectively agreed upon

Visual Scene from the Court: Former NFL preseason players Zxavian Harris and Dae'Quan Wright are sitting side-by-side in the gallery watching the proceedings unfold. SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey is seated just a short distance away. Due to the massive profile of the case, at least seven court bailiffs are present to manage the packed room.The Inter-State Legal Threat: A major point of contention introduced is a letter sent by Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr to Greg Sankey. In it, Carr pressured the SEC to utilize "all measures available" to aggressively punish LSU if they attempt to field these players, showing how deeply other states are pushing the SEC to freeze out former pros.The Impending Ruling: Judge William Jorden is currently listening to responses regarding his threat to hold the NCAA in contempt over the power conferences passing "draconian" roster rules to bypass his initial order.

The hearing inside the 19th Judicial District Court is still actively underway. Both sides have entered their arguments, and the courtroom remains highly tense as a final decision from Judge William Jorden is eagerly awaited
The SEC Vote Disclosed: SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey submitted an affidavit revealing that the SEC university presidents voted 15-0 in favor of the new rules barring former professional players. Notably, LSU’s representative abstained from the vote

Here is exactly where things stand right now as the hearing begins:The Atmosphere: The courtroom is packed. SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, and Orleans Parish DA Jason Williams (who was hired to represent the SEC) have all entered the courtroom.
We told everyone we would abide by what the judge says. But the other teams in the conference keep pushing and pushing. It's time to turn around and lock the door

Please tell me y'all ain't falling for this shite again. They will say that they will do everything we want, and then we will ease sanctions, and then they will go back to doing what they have been doing all along. They have been doing the same thing over and over. Nothing will change them except death.
