Would be great to let LSU do all this suing and think they win, have all these players play in games and the ncaa and SEC vacate all their wins. That to me would be the best form of consequence. What’s next, players sue the NFL team they get cut from for not signing them to a contract? Starting QB’s get sued by the back up? 

I think that’s the interesting issue.  The judge can provide injunctive relief and allow the players to play for LSU, but the SEC still has the right to punish LSU however it sees fit if they actually play on the field.

The Big Ten’s statement threatened the coaches with fines and games suspended if they allow these players to participate.  Would LSU pay a fine and have Kiffin miss 3-4 games in return for upgrading the roster with a handful of players?

Heck, Kiffin better hope the judge provides an injunction or these players may sue his ass for promising something he couldn’t deliver (a paycheck and playing time for LSU, in return for leaving an NFL opportunity).

I am glad that the 2 highest profile conferences have voted to nix this craziness.  To play devils advocate tho...

NCAA players are already getting paid thus they are professional athletes already.  How much does ot really matter if they uave eligibility left that they move from one business to another.  The only difference is where the paycheck comes from.  

Not by any means advocating for this but there is a legitimate argument.

I don't think this is college sports anymore either. This is professional sports. I agree with that. 

I think one area I like with where it's going, or the Big 10 and SEC (ACC will follow) is trying, is there is a difference with what's going on now vs. the true "pro sports". These established college athletes have it all right now. They can go pro, decide they don't want to anymore because of more $$$ or get cut and return to college essentially. That can't go on. It's just not healthy for "college" sports. It will get to a point where coaches recruit their roster, work out all summer and then rug pull athletes a week or two before seasons. And those athletes are screwed. They can't just transfer somewhere else and be eligible to compete/play immediately. They have to get in the portal, wait for the portal window, and go through the process again.

Agree completely...as far as the portal they should get 1.  If they want to move again there should be a 1 year hold time where they can practice but can not play.  Exceptions made for family emergency issues of course.  As far as any player participating in any NFL camp or professionally recognized program to include overseas should receive an automatic ban from "college" sports.  Call it a non compete clause.  I am all about these guys getting paid, however this has to be reigned in.
