* LSU shouldn't have tested waters, even though they complied, still a dumb move.

Agree to disagree.

Those guys go to Ole Miss and no one blinks an eye if LSU didn’t get involved.

Obviously the delayed start hurt the ratings

Do you think?

A blowout after the 1st quarter didn’t help either!

The millions of LSU haters out there weren’t sticking around for that.

:geauxtigers:
The courts have told the NCAA that amateurism based eligibility rules in college athletics and the unequal treatment of the 2022 class both violate antitrust laws.

LSU said we are going to ride with the rest of yall up until the point a court tells us the SEC policy is also illegal.

A court said it’s illegal and LSU still found a way to align with the SEC while not directly defying a court order - up until filling out the roster yesterday.

Incredible job by the leadership at LSU.

Rostering and playing players didn’t matter. Sankey wanted a piece of LSU.

Until it came time to walk into another courtroom. PTSD for our fearless leader.
Terrible analogy.

It would make sense if LSU tried to rob a bank, the SEC said you can’t do that, but a court said yes you can.
quote:

Not the contract of employment.

And now you are getting to LSU’s position on the situation.

You are writing a very narrow definition of who is and isn’t a pro to specifically exclude the players who were interested in going to LSU, but not the rest of the players looking to transition from NFL camps back to college.

That looks less like a neutral eligibility rule and more like coordinated, exclusionary conduct that raises serious antitrust concerns.

So it was fake?

To be fair, Ole Miss fans argued Wright wasn’t that good because he couldn’t make an NFL team.

But they still say he was an NFL player.
quote:

after they enter the draft they should not come back in regards to Hutson

Well, Hutson signed contracts and participated in camps with NFL teams.

The nuance of which contracts he signed and what practices he participated in is what most of us recognize as unequal treatment.
quote:

Well Junior entered the draft and finished undrafted regardless of verbiage that I copied and pasted.

That verbiage matters a lot.

Sankey said under oath that a player loses college eligibility when he chooses to move on. He defined choice as declaring for the draft or signing a professional contract. Tuihalamaka did neither.
The 2022 class didn’t declare for the draft.

They were out of eligibility.
quote:

The SEC feels like LSU and Landry (at this point they seem to be one in the same) have weaponized the Louisiana justice system to fight the SEC.

Don’t you think they should try to prove their “feelings” before expelling a member?

This has all happened in a week and a half.

The LA justice system didn’t rule any differently than courts across America have ruled.

Talking about how Wade rouse has no idea what he is doing and that it is just him and Gov Landry calling shots.

Wait, the governor and the president of the university are calling the shots? No shite.

That sounds like the utmost institutional control to me.

So much so that the vacuum is taking control over LSU/Ausberry away from the SEC.
They’ll have to do something when Judge Jorden jails Sankey for defying a court order.
LSU filled the 2 roster spots preventing them from
adding Harris and Wright.

I think they did that to win the necessary swing votes to maintain membership on Thursday.

The court of public opinion sided with LSU on not rostering the guys this weekend.

Most rational schools agree with that. Most don’t want to start a conversation about who all contacted NFL camp guys this offseason.
quote:

They are kicking LSU out for allegedly colluding with players to sue the conference.

That’ll be impossible to argue since the players sued the NCAA and won. So the SEC responded by releasing its new policy and not until then did the players add the SEC to the suit.

It’ll also be difficult to argue Kiffin organized a lawsuit of 30+ athletes with only 2 that had intentions of joining Kiffin’s team and 1 with intentions of going to another SEC school. Much less the 300+ other athletes in suits across multiple states.

But at the end of the day, none of that matters. If 11 vote to expel, then that is their choice.
1999 graduate of Ole Miss (BBA)

His alumni spotlight from 2014 says:
quote:

An Oxford native, Hussey was a Rebel sports enthusiast at an early age.

The son of an Ole Miss chemistry department chair and Oxford High School librarian, Hussey was embedded in all things Ole Miss for as long as he can remember.

Hussey will be busy traveling across the country over the next several months preparing for the launch of the SEC network, however he still plans to get back to Oxford to spend time with family and friends and cheer on the Rebels when they face LSU.

If we are relying on this guy to de-escalate the situation, then we might as well start filing all the lawsuits now.

quote:

Do you just think there's an inexhaustible well of cash?

Nothing is inexhaustible.

But yes, LSU will have significant resources at its disposal to maximize its future opportunities, whatever they may be.

LSU may go somewhere else, but they aren’t going away.
quote:

More millions for LSU to spend right now when they have no money.

LSU has a lot more money to fight for themselves than Sankey will be able to extract from the other 15 to fight against LSU.
quote:

But this aint over 2 players that arent even on the roster… and I would like to know whats really going on

In the annals of actual SEC recruiting violations, how is this alleged violation the one that needs to run to an immediate vote?

It doesn’t make sense.

long term vision

What’s your long term vision for a conference that is obviously violating antitrust laws while suing and voting out the 1 member trying to follow the law?
