I am not a lawyer, and I think this is the proper course of action. However, IMO it’s going to be awfully hard for the SEC and the other conferences to defend selective enforcement of eligibility rules in court.


Easiest redneck terms to put this in…

If you’re a deer hunter in Louisiana and you voluntarily joined a deer club and you pay dues to hunt on that clubs lease and signed a contract when you joined stating you’d follow the clubs rules. Then two years down the road, a new rule is passed in the club that only bucks with four points on one side will be killed and each member can only kill one buck. These rules do not align with the deer harvesting regulations for the state of Louisiana, but they’re your clubs rules. Two different things.

Your options are pretty simple, and court isn’t one of them because you voluntarily joined the club and agreed by contract when joining that you would abide by the clubs rules. So basically, you can find another deer club to hunt with, or abide by the clubs rules.

Yea. I think for the NBA this year the NCAA deadline was around the end of May for them to retain eligibility. And it’s a good rule IMO. Let’s the kids go through the combine and get feedback. Billy Richmond for us did it this past year.

Now for the NFL, the combine is after the declare date. I think the declare date was mid January this year, and the combine much later.

Does someone have to actually declare for the draft, if they're out of eligibility? If a player is out of eligibility, goes undrafted, and doesn't sign, are they eligible?


It’s not about not being drafted. For instance with basketball and the draft. A player can declare, go through the NBA combine, but then withdraw his name from the draft at a certain date that keeps him eligible. If a player doesn’t withdraw by that date, goes through the draft and doesn’t get drafted, he’s SOL.

If they signed a contract they’re ineligible in the league. So if said player signed and UDFA deal, then yes he’s ineligible.

The players will sue the SEC and they will win. Just like they did with the NCAA. And they’ll have clear damages from NIL deals last year.


The player can sue all he wants. It’s not about the particular player. The rule is for the leagues institutions. If a member school plays said player, they’re in violation of the rules.

This rule passed 16-0. There isn’t going to be any institution suing the league over this.

It’s done. It’s over.
I have a kid that plays AAU ball and am local to the story. We had heard about what Duffey had done a while back when it happened. The biggest issue I have is that, if not for McGirt ruling, Duffey is likely in jail or is out on bail and wearing an ankle bracelet and none of this ever happens.

But because of the McGirt ruling, Indian Police drag their feet when prosecuting their own and things like this happen.

Owasso Police release timeline linking federal child sex crime case and murder-suicide

Police say a protective order was issued after a June child molestation investigation that was later referred to federal authorities before a deadly domestic violence incident in Owasso this week.

OWASSO, Okla. -Owasso Police have released new information connecting a June child molestation investigation involving a traveling youth basketball coach with an apparent murder-suicide that happened July 23.

Investigators say the suspect in both cases, 48-year-old Jeremiah Shawn Duffey, was under a protective order filed by his estranged wife when officers responded to the deadly domestic violence call.

June investigation referred to federal authorities

According to police, officers took a report June 9 after a juvenile and a parent came to police headquarters alleging inappropriate sexual contact during a basketball event at an elementary school.

Investigators said Duffey, who coached a traveling competitive basketball team, allegedly inappropriately touched a juvenile player. Police said similar conduct involving the same victim was reported to have occurred over an extended period in multiple jurisdictions and states.

Officials emphasized the team was not affiliated with Owasso Public Schools, and Duffey had no connection to the district. The team was renting the school’s gym while classes were not in session.

Because police determined the alleged offense occurred in Indian Country and Duffey was a member of the Osage Nation, the investigation was referred to the U.S. Attorney’s Office under the Federal Major Crimes Act, ending Owasso Police’s jurisdiction over the reported molestation case.

I mean zero disrespect for the deceased and it is an extremely sad story, but she should have went to the police instead of doing it on a tiktok trend.


The police knew. He had been caught at a tournament by another teams coach kissing and fondling one of his players. He immediately left the gym and did not coach anymore that day. That child and her parents went to Owasso PD that day and informed police.

Because Duffey was an Osage, the investigation was sent to Federal Authorities. Because of McGirt, it was then sent to Tribal Police. Duffey had been in hiding for around a month. Owasso police supposedly had been looking for him.

Everyone in the area and in the AAU basketball community know/knew about what was going on and what happened. This was also turned over to the Feds because his grooming of the girl crossed state lines and happened at tournaments out of state. The police reported that Duffey also paid the young woman to stay quiet.

When Silverfield starts asking his linemen to trim down to 270-275…we should start to worry.

Until then, let’s see what he can do.

This would be the 2nd baseball title for UGA if they win it. So we were behind them to begin with in titles.

Don’t think he’s saying to get rid of those. I believe what he’s saying is have the tournament at the start of conference season. Can still have all the marquee OOC home/aways and neutral site games.

Start of January, conference tournament. Then play the league schedule.

Tournament is at 76 teams now. Conference tournaments for major conferences mean absolutely dick. Essentially if you have a winning record you’ll damn near be in now.

We’d love to see that too, but this isn’t the team for that. This years version is just a scrappy rag tag bunch who can beat your arse…or just as easily walk damn near every batter and give up double digit runs.

Game 3’s are this team’s Achilles.

That’s the biggest problem. You and Hunter seem to be in the same boat. The issue is it’s actually Hunter’s job to know those people.
Good info cgrand.

I’m flying to Charleston SC Sunday the 24th. Will stay there and leave Thursday the 28th and make the four hour drive down to St. Augustine and fly back home out of Jacksonville the 31st.

Been to Charleston many times, but first trip to St. Augustine. My favorite coast of Florida is the east coast. Spent quite a bit of time in Ormond Beach area and Cocoa Beach. Especially during COVID.

14 year old daughter will finish 8th grade and we are calling this our US History vacation.

It really is time for Hunter to go

This stunt he pulled with the tennis program looks horrible.

1) privately $5million was raised to keep the program without HY.

2) Did he lie to the BOT saying he could not raise the money to keep the programs…if not

3) If he cannot secure money from people in a way to keep a particular program afloat, he is really really bad at his job. As in, it really seems it was pretty easy for those donors to come up with the $5mil. It didn’t take long.

4) While the BOT may seem out of touch…it seems as though HY may have led them to believe there was no alternative other than cutting the programs. That action has made the University, HY, and the BOT look like total fools.


If there’s absolutely one thing people in power (BOT) hate…it’s looking like a fool.

Nobody is immune to it now. Arthur’s is a very nice place and has been around a while. I would imagine someone got their bill, saw $700-$800 on it and made decisions from there.

These people also should be careful where they pull this…there’s always been rumors of old Mob ties with Arthur’s.

Win the SEC and then not make Omaha is a disappointing season, just like last season.


I think everyone saw Texas for what they were last season. Relatively easy league schedule, didn’t have a winning record against the other top teams in the league. The ceiling for last years Texas team was about where they finished post season play. It just felt a little more dramatic because it happened at home to an in state city university.
