I’m sure they do, have a plan. Step one is presenting this to the SEC and getting their blessing. If something changes and he’s ineligible then we will adjust. The national talking heads have to draw comparisons for viewership and Texas is a big name with high expectations, so naturally they’ll use us to compare.

It’s only going to be a distraction if Sark and the players let it be.

Hasn’t it been the case for a while that college basketball players actively workout for NBA teams and then decide if they want to go into draft or return to school?  What’s the difference between that and what Cole did?

This is disgusting beyond belief.  Kiffin the Clown is making a clown show of College Football. LSU as well.  

I thought Texas tech was bad.....

Has anyone said how the SEC classifies Cole Hutson? I don’t want guesses. I want to know if UT has specifically asked about Hutson.

Given Sarkisian's stance, if the SEC said no to Hutson, Texas would have removed him from the roster already. He never entered the draft as an underclassmen, signed a NFL contract, or competing on a NFL roster. He also, never left school and isn't transfering from another conference school.

For the life of me, I can’t understand why Kiffin / LSU are willing to die on this hill?  

The players in question are good (Dewuan Wright will be a back-up to Treydez Greene, Harris probably starts at DT, and Pyburn would be DE3), but none of them are difference makers and collectively they aren’t going to change LSU’s season-end record.

I just don’t get the brinksmanship by LSU here.  The juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

That said, I have zero doubt a Baton Rouge yokel judge who has to face local voters would be willing to contort the law to create a ruling favorable to LSU.  I almost hope this happens just so we can get to the really juicy phase of this little drama - the reaction and wrath of the other 15 SEC schools.
