You all think this is just Lane. UK in a lawsuit. TT, Tex, aTm have been involved. In fact Basketball is just as involved here but their season doesnt start next week.

Wright named 3 other schools that made him offers…

The suit in Dallas has no connection to LSU. What has Lane got to do with that?
Not that simple

Key Federal Laws

Sherman Act (1890): Outlaws price-fixing, cartels, and illegal attempts to monopolize an industry.

Clayton Act (1914): Blocks anti-competitive mergers, price discrimination, and exclusive business deals.


NCAA/SEC dont have antitrust exemptions and these players are compensated.

It is about to break loose.


I laughed yesterday when the SEC rule came out. I said to myself give it 24 hrs.

I dont care one way or another. It is just that the SEC does not have anti-trust exemption or collective bargaining like the pros have.
Dallas court. However the case only applies to these 2022 guys who got screwed
But what about the water usage?

Most Americans air defenses have been shifted to the Middle East and what little Europe does have has mostly been sent to Ukraine.


Ukraine has been sucking down NATO munitions for 4-5 yrs now so why do you think it is the ME that is causing this issue?

I don’t see how American oil companies will invest in this. The first Democrat that gets in the WH is going to release Maduro and all their investments will go down the tubes.


The way it is written it sounds like the deal is with the US Govt and hence would have the protection of the US Govt. I assume this would open the door for major oil companies to come in.

Just FYI, I worked with a Process Control Engineer from Venezuela recently and she said Maduro burned most of the country's oil and gas refineries so they are dependent now on getting that oil to market.

Attorney Tony Clayton


This dude was involved in a record jury trial in LA back in Feb 25 that came back with a $411 million award to the plaintiff. Trial was in the 19th JDC...

He is also former Asst DA in EBR and is current DA of WBR Parish or the 18th JDC.

Come on down Sankey and answer some questions... no need to bring a change of clothes.
As far as the subject matter I find it very distasteful and disturbing like everyone else.

My question though is how is it that these so many of these social media videos are recorded perfectly by unknown people and shortly published to some stream. This is why I think most of these are just setups.

The NCAA let the rumor out that 5 for 5 was coming but not approved before the draft. They did not act on it until after the draft. This left the 2022 recruiting class with no option but go to the draft or retire from playing.

The NCAA then let the rule out and declared the rule was not applicable to players from 2022 after the draft.

The 2021 class is a non issue.

The 2023 class is elegible for 5 for 5.

So in their unique way of doing things the NCAA has created an aggreved class of players. The list is not infinite. I feel that most of these players in the suit if given the choice would have chose NFL anyway but when faced with being cut saw another option.

I think this whole thing is weird, three candidates, all women, very last minute shenanigans…


Like the Alaska Senate Primary. Dems inserted a guy with the exact same name as the R incumbent who never ran for office before. Tried to dilute the incumbent’s votes and elect the D candidate outright….
Should have used a local Mississippi judge!

What would they sue for?


Blacklisting essentially. They might have to sue the Big10 as well.

by your description he is not permitted.

Cole Hutson declared, went undrafted, attended rookie mini camps, but never signed with a team.



From SEC policy as posted on TD home page:

An SEC institution is not permitted to have an athlete on its roster who has:

1. Previously declared for the NFL, NBA, or WNBA Draft and did not appropriately withdraw;

Cole Hutson attended a minicamp tryout invite in May. Not paid


Doesnt matter. Rule is stated as went into draft and did not remove himself. I do not know but maybe he did. You dont have to be paid.

I don’t care what LSU does to try and build a good team. If it’s legal, do it. If you don’t like it, challenge the courts and the rules, but don’t get mad because LSU followed the rules and got players you couldn’t get.


Exactly. LSU did everything out in open space. Rules changed. Will play by the rules. Move on.

I get upset because they make it look like Lane started this and to my knowledge he did not.

I want to know when they are going to tackle basketball. All these international pro players are ridiculous. I am not talking about LSU... they are everywhere. Need to clean this up.

I have been saying this for a long time. I drive by the library and post offices and see the flag at half mast and most of the time I have no idea why it is that way.

So, what honor are we decreeing on someone if it is not recognized.

And so I am assuming that we are lowering the flag for Dolly Partin which I would never have guessed despite the fact that I agree she is a treasure in our times. I grew up listening to her sing on the Porter Wagner Show when I was a kid because that was about the one thing my mom got to watch while she was fixing supper on Sat evening.

But they are less liberal than most provinces but probably are liberal according to US politics.



This is what I worry about in this case. There are options like take them as a territory or let them form an independent country under the protection of the USA.
