SEC statement on latest developments with players returning from NFL

What a coward.

All hat, no huevos!

They almost had it until the protect college sports act. They should’ve ended with: “the SEC will not allow its member schools to have players who signed a professional contract to play in college games. Any school that chooses to do so will risk forfeit of all wins in which such players dressed out.”

[Paul Jespersen]

Also - I thought no intra-SEC transfers w/o sitting out a year (at least for this LSU TE)? or did I miss something completely, which would hardly be a surprise given pace of changes...

Even with the TROs and injunctions, can’t the NCAA just simply say if you play with a player that signed a pro contract, we can’t stop you, but you will be forced to vacate that win/s?

Sure, but what would a court say?

Can a court tell the NCAA whether they can vacate wins or not? I honestly don’t know.

The SEC is not going to take a hard line against a key member institution.  It is up to others to get competing injunctions in their states if LSU hits the road.

I guess. It's all such a mess.

Apparently AD's and Chancellor's have been called to Birmingham tomorrow (or this week) for a meeting among all SEC schools.

Fully agree with you! That was my first thought, too. They should have left that last sentence out of the statement.

 I also wouldn’t object to your proposed version of an ending.

Give them the Texas Tech treatment

So they do have balls and are not going to let this crap fly

This is giving me Monster Energy Big 12 TM vibes. When they all met to talk about problem child  Tech. In this case the problem child LSU.

In other news, every team in the AL West is under .500

They should, it might send a message to all members, but I agree with you that they won’t take a hard line stance.

That’s why it is a worthless statement, imo.

It will be interesting to see what comes out of the meeting ADs and Chancellors.

Was listening to Andy Staples today and he had a good point - this rule was adopted to prevent Spring transfers when the Spring portal existed.  

So there's enough ambiguity that maybe Sankey doesn't want to go to bat?

What an absolute mess.  We need college football to get on the field to save them from themselves, because I can't take another week of this insanity.
