@HurleyMediaG@Genetics56 But the CFP isn't the SEC. If its members collectively establish a uniform criterion for participation in their own championship, the legal question becomes whether LSU has a right to enter that private competition under different conditions than everyone else.
@AlloPackYT@SwerveInked@TreyWallace I don't think LSU would get expelled but I do think there would be other repercussions outside of this case. Like conduct detrimental to the league. Bad business partner. Lots of other avenues for them to go down. I think SEC ultimately wins.
@AlloPackYT@SwerveInked@TreyWallace Then you risk litigation in every state. I think the bigger issue is why can't every institution in the SEC find a favorable hometown judge and say this unfavorable rule in unenforceable.
@DavidWalkerQB I don't think it would be ban. It would be a uniform standard that all members wanting to participate in said playoff invitational must abide by. Wouldn't mention LSU or player eligibility rules. If you choose to ignore this requirement then you won't be considered.
@JonD504@Tiger__Vibes Thatโs not true. Sue the ncaa and say itโs illegal to enforce the 5for5 rule. Itโs already happening and players are winning.
@slmandel What happens if and when the CFP says that teams that play nfl players are disqualified from playoffs? Don't they have an easier path to federal courts which is where the sports lawyers don't want it.
@TomMarsLaw When universities join the SEC or Big Ten, they sign legally binding corporate contracts agreeing to abide by majority votes. If a local judge can unilaterally rewrite those bylaws from the bench, it means no private contract in America is safe from judicial interference.
