Following orders from SEC school Presidents who are his boss.

There’s 16 SEC schools. 15 of them voted in favor of the penalties. 

This crap needs to end. 

If I understand correctly, SEC is basically saying they can’t legally stop pro players from being rostered. BUT, Those teams will be subject to penalties discussed the other day during the meetings where they voted. 
 

it’s a game of legal chicken. Hearing on Thursday. 

A lot of holding calls going against teams that do this though.

This was always the outcome. Everything else was fodder. 

This is never getting fixed, is it?

So if LSU brings any of those players onto their team they will face the penalties by the SEC? Like forfeit of games and fines?

That judgment seems to say that they can't punish anyone (schools, coaches, etc.) for bringing in those players.

So basically the SEC tried to make a stand and immediately had to walk that back? 

search for LBERS

 

Can you comply by allowing it but still impose SEC penalties because you have ur own rules?

People keep saying, “At least after this year, this won’t happen again.” And as far as NFL players coming back to college, I agree—that probably won’t happen again.

My question is: what happens when a player from the 2023, 2024 or 2025 recruiting class goes before a judge and says, “But Judge, I only played four games during my redshirt season. I didn’t actually get a full five years of playing eligibility.”

It seems to me like this issue may not be completely settled yet. The NFL-to-college situation may be over, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there are still more eligibility challenges ahead.

I thought Sankey was supposed to be better than Yormark……..what a spineless coward

Unfortunately, and I hate this, this is probably why we’re going to have to have federal intervention, because the judiciary is rewriting the rules on a weekly basis.  It’s complete chaos.

IIRC the athlete has to choose which model works best for them, they can choose to adopt the 5 for 5 model, or keep the previous model, whichever is more beneficial to the athlete. I think that argument in court won't be as easy.

For the time being with the hopes they can then go after teams that do it once they (the SEC) wins in court.
