@RustyO26 @Taydean Yes exactly which the university who is sanctioned will turn around and sue for a textbook definition of antitrust trap. Under Alston the NCAA and that extends to bodies under the NCAA so SEC and s 50% sanction is a textbook act of antitrust cartel retaliation like I said.

@stantheman31 @EdwardMoonyyy7 @HesOurHeaux337 Why bother like you said he hides behind a burner he can’t say things with his chest he’s afraid.

@Seychelles402 @Taydean Not opposed enacts my fault

[Aj @Aj25577487]

@mack_morgann That’s not a nice word

[Aj @Aj25577487]

@PeLsu504 @Blake129292 @geauxtigers2025 You're stuck in 2015. Players don’t need to be "employees" to have Sherman Act protection. Antitrust laws protect independent workers, contractors, and businesses from illegal group boycotts. The Supreme Court already established this in Alston. Employment status is irrelevant.

[Aj @Aj25577487]

@Seychelles402 @Taydean Exactly read what you said again they are “eligible” by a court ruling and if someone recruits them and the SEC opposes sanctions the University can turn around and have legal ground to sue for antitrust act via Sherman Act.

[Aj @Aj25577487]

@jdschlumbrecht @Redbank456100 @203Bby @CJFWrites Now you’re just making up fanfiction. LSU can't get banned for "contacting players to sue." Under federal law, helping someone access the court system is completely legal. The NCAA can't punish a school for exercising legal rights, that’s direct retaliation and a lawsuit magnet.

[Aj @Aj25577487]

@CJ_NoChill @TomMarsLaw Alston completely destroys your argument anyway. The Supreme Court explicitly named individual conferences as part of the antitrust problem, not a shield against it. Alston ruled that any collective agreement to cap athlete benefits/labor is subject to full Sherman Act scrutiny.

[Aj @Aj25577487]

@CJ_NoChill @TomMarsLaw I’m talking about a direct Sherman Act lawsuit. Saying "they can go play for 100 other schools" fails basic antitrust law. The SEC/Big Ten control the elite labor market. Restraining that specific market is a textbook anti-competitive group boycott.

[Aj @Aj25577487]

@JeffLHughes @TomMarsLaw Imagine pasting a quote that literally concludes with: "Separate lawsuits against the conferences remain possible."
You missed the point. I’m not saying the SEC is in contempt of the NCAA's order. I’m saying their 50% budget cut is a new and blatant antitrust violation.

[Aj @Aj25577487]

@randyesmith7 @CJFWrites And why not?

[Aj @Aj25577487]

@JohnLitzler @EricMacLain @GregSankey Exactly. The entire policy is a bluff meant to deter schools. The gray area vanishes the moment the SEC tries to enforce it. A 50% budget slash creates undeniable antitrust injury, and private conference bylaws can't override federal laws that would just be major grounds to sue.

[Aj @Aj25577487]

@Blain_Crain It’s just emotional jargon 😂

[Aj @Aj25577487]

@JohnLitzler @EricMacLain @GregSankey But you’re correct; depending on whether they actually enforce this or not will be the biggest grounds to sue in the first place, because before, it was iffy whether they’d win or not in court.

[Aj @Aj25577487]

@JohnLitzler @EricMacLain @GregSankey LSU voting "yes" to the SEC policy doesn’t waive antitrust rights. The Federal law says you can’t contract out of the Sherman Act, unanimous cartel votes are evidence of collusion, not a defense against it. The Supreme Court actually rejected the"you voted for it" logic in 1984.

[Aj @Aj25577487]

@Redbank456100 @203Bby @CJFWrites So no refutation 😂

[Aj @Aj25577487]

@Redbank456100 @203Bby @CJFWrites Exactly. If a conference penalizes a school for playing an eligible player, that penalty creates a "horizontal restraint of trade." The school then has direct antitrust standing to sue the conference under the Sherman Act for treble damages. It’s not that complicated.

[Aj @Aj25577487]

@203Bby @CJFWrites Not saying they would or the school would per-say but the players themselves would be the initial lawsuit being granted eligibility and if the school themselves were reprimanded then they would sue.

[Aj @Aj25577487]

@Michael73259796 @CJFWrites So no.

[Aj @Aj25577487]

@Michael73259796 @CJFWrites Do you have a refutation or…
