I think you misunderstood what I said or I misunderstood what you were asking. My interpretation of “at least benefit from it” was we’d be being punished for not even playing someone which is wild and unprecedented.

What level of success is required for it to be a benefit?

The players actually being on the roster and playing in games would be a start. The NCAA never even punished teams for trying to get players eligible. They did at times make teams vacate wins for playing ineligible players. LSU hasn’t played anyone the SEC said not to play.

The Luis thing started long before even the Kiffin drama Sankey freaked out about. So yeah Will Wade was hoping to roster him but, once the SEC enacted a rule in response to the football players, Wade didn’t roster him

Not a single Tennessee fan was claiming we were gonna beat Bama by double digits

Ok and?
quote:

and we at least had beaten Deboer before

Again, what does that have to do with anything?

Each season, team, etc is a new matchup. What happened in previous games with previous teams has no effect on what happens in future matchups.

Did the fact UT lost to Alabama last year and hadn’t beaten Alabama by double digits since 2001 have any effect on Tennessee doing exactly that this year? No, it didn’t

You, as a fan, having faith in something happening or not happening is a completely different analysis but has no predictive value at all
quote:

A Tuscaloosa judge did the right thing by ending that fiasco.

After another Tuscaloosa judge signed a TRO allowing him to play, the same type of order Luis got today. Only difference is Sankey let the issue play out in court rather than threaten to kick a school out if the SEC and then sue them

That said, no I don’t think Luis (or any other former pro, regardless of league) should be playing college sports ever again
quote:

Wish he would bring contempt instead.

Why? That doesn’t get the players paid

LSU hasnt beaten Bama by double digits in 20 years. How do you even type that?

Tennessee hadn't beaten Alabama by double digits since 2001 but did so a couple weeks ago. Maybe a lot of people don't think Alabama is the same Alabama anymore :dunno:

I'm not personally going to make that prediction but it's not like it's a crazy out of left field prediction considering the matchup this year. What happened 5,10, 15 years ago isn't relevant at all.

Also, how many college quarterbacks these days aren't "mobile" and does the SEC have any this season other than ol' George?

depends on what you mean by mobile. Guys who are legit running threats, there really are only a handful in the SEC this year. Guys who can scramble around a little bit if necessary, yeah I'd say most SEC QBs fit that bill. The guys that give coaches more trouble (in the context you're talking about) are those where running is one of the biggest parts of their game. But at the end of the day, those guys are really only hard to defend for most defenses if they are also a threat to beat you through the air too. That's why you've seen Marcel Reed struggle so much. Teams don't respect his ability to throw the football.
The hardest remaining schedules, if you include everyone, are probably among these

judge needs to grow some nuts and have sankey arrested for contempt of orders.

it's the petitioner's responsibility to seek enforcement of the court's orders and request sanctions (jail time) for non-compliance. The Court doesn't file contempt actions on their own when people disobey court orders. The judge "needing to grow nuts" has nothing to do with this. If the players want to file a contempt action they can, and if the Court finds Sankey in contempt, he can put him in jail for it. But all of that would have to start with a filing from a party to the case. Judge's don't play perpetual hall monitor for the orders they've entered in their cases. They address non-compliance of orders when it's pled through court filings. Also, most people found to be in contempt don't go to jail for it. Yes, that is one form of relief the court can provide, but the court generally doesn't jail people for contempt.
So they have Miami as the #1 seed, which presumes they beat Notre Dame, so they have a 10-2 Notre Dame team as the 4 seed. :lol:

They also somehow have Indiana as the 3 and OSU as the 2. That presumes both win out in the regular season, so they also have a 2 loss Indiana as the 3 seed because OSU would need to beat them in the Big title game to be the 2 seed under this scenario ESPN has built

It looks like they have UGA winning the SEC as they are the highest ranked SEC team in their prediction. SO who is UGA losing to down the stretch? Ole Miss? If Ole Miss beats UGA, they're not missing the playoffs and I don't think UGA is necessarily getting to the SECCG with a 2nd loss to Ole Miss, yet Ole Miss isn't there. So I can only assume UGA would go undefeated down the stretch since Ole Miss isn't in this projection. Well, the problem here is they'd be 12-1, and they have them outside the top 4 over multiple 2 loss teams.

It looks like they also have Kentucky winning out the regular season and losing to UGA in the SEC CG

Like some of these game outcomes might happen but it is nearly impossible for the polls to work out like that if the outcomes do happen

This is the second thread I've seen about this, but I haven't seen any threads from LSU fans about Kentucky. What am I missing? Granted. I haven't been around as much. But, still haven't seen what yall are talking about.

You're not missing anything.
quote:

If any sport at any school is counting on only the NIL proportion to fund onlytheir program, they will fall behind other coaches who proactively go out and promote their own program and raise their own funds.

CMM lost his job IMHO in large part because he had no taste for fund raising, he left that to others to his own detriment. This is a different era and if coaches don't understand that or don't want to play that they will get left behind and lose their jobs too.

what the frick are you talking about or responding to? The guy I responded to posted how much total NIL we are estimated to be funding to all sports. He also said baseball has 8% of that total number, so I did simple math. Nothing more nothing less. Your response to my post makes no sense in that context

quote:

LSU has 1 win in the last 5 games against them

you just making stuff up now? You know google is free right?
quote:

don’t be surprised when schools like USM put additional resources towards other sports besides football

bold strategy considering those sports lose money every year. Te best programs might break even. Even though they can't compete in football, they still make money playing football. they never will in baseball. Sinking all your money into a non-revenue sport at a G5 school makes no financial sense
quote:

Baseball's NIL share is only 8%

"only"? 5.5 million for a non-revenue sport like baseball seems like a pretty large number to me. How does that compare to everyone else in the country? I'd imagine top 3 at worst

Is your university woke/liberal?

almost every university in the world is to varying degrees
quote:

This is federal court, not state court. It’s just as likely the judge will be from somewhere else and have no ties to the SEC at all.

Not accurate. They don't just appoint federal court judges from all over the country and randomly place them wherever. They appoint judges who are in the state where they'll be sitting. There are 7 federal court district judges in AL. Of those, 5 went to either undegrad or law school in the State of Alabama. 3 of them attended the University of Alabama for both undergrad and law school.

The judge over this case, Annemarie Carney Axon, went to Alabama for undergrad and law school. She was appointed by trump in 2018. Prior to being appointed, she was in private practice in Birmingham
quote:

My guess would be that the walk on has been the better player

I assumed that was your guess, which is why I asked a MS State fan about the situation who wouldn't need to guess why Puckett is playing.
quote:

Swann is arse

so is Puckett. We're talking about a backup QB at MS State. I don't think anyone expects them to have a ringer just waiting to play. But they also shouldn't have to resort to starting a walk-on unless several QBs are hurt.

I was talking about the SEC, meaning the Southeastern Conference.

I'm aware you were talking about the SEC. If the SEC was worried about adding teams that are categorically in the southeastern region, Oklahoma wouldn't be here
quote:

That tends to happen when your backup is a walk-on.

Why is Puckett the backup? I know y'all have AJ Swann on the roster who at least has 2 years experience as an SEC starter at Vandy and also spent a year at LSU as a backup and another year as a starter at App St. Is Puckett really a better option? Is Swann hurt?
