Wisne v. NCAA was filed on July 8th. On July 31st, Judge Sweeney certified the nationwide class and granted 2022 athletes eligible.
None of the players are or were tied to Louisiana or LSU.
The TRO that was granted in Louisiana, August 19th. Who started what exactly?
@BigStinMania@KokiRiley No shit because they lost. Passing it would’ve meant we got better which is bad for everyone else.
If there was a vote for the SEC to give LSU $10 but everyone else lost a $1 do you think LSU would vote against that?
@BigStinMania@PeteThamel And the Trinidad case (I’m pretty sure there were instances before that even) set the precedent that courts could overturn the NCAA. So yeah these players are due an extra year the same as Trinidad was. The fact that they worked out for pro teams means nothing. They weren’t pros
@BigStinMania@PeteThamel That might be true. But it was AFTER the NCAA introduced the 5 for 5 rule which was after the NFL draft. So guys that had an additional year of eligibility had already been forced to enter the draft or try out for teams.
Again NCAA incompetence.
@BigStinMania@PeteThamel 1. Not cheating 2. Yall 100% had players lined up to come back and Kirby was just waiting to see how this thing played out. 3. Yes you would
@BigStinMania@PeteThamel Is it any more cheating than having Trinidad play QB after the NCAA ruled against him like 3 times?
We haven’t played a single “NFL” player, we are simply putting ourselves in the best possible position based on the court rulings so far which has been the governing authority.
@BigStinMania@PeteThamel Yeah absolutely because I wouldn’t have the advantage. If UGA was in LSUs position you’d be on the opposite side of the argument too lol I’m not saying I agree with any of it. The NCAA has major issues and we’re trying exploit them to our advantage which I am fan of
@BigStinMania@PeteThamel Because we got out in front of it and got players. We got ourselves positioned to have an advantage. Why would anyone vote for a rule that’s going to remove an advantage for them.
@BigStinMania@PeteThamel BUT this is all because the NCAA has no authority over its own organization and court rulings dictate everything. Ultimately it’s an NCAA problem, LSU is just taking advantage of it and honestly I’d rather be on that side of things than fall behind holding my dick like Clemson
@BigStinMania@PeteThamel This only applies to players in class of 2022 that have a 5th year. Courts ruled in favor of them having another year of eligibility. They wouldn’t have gone pro if they knew they had that year. And as we’ve seen with Trinidad, court rulings > NCAA ruling
@BigStinMania@PeteThamel And we abstain from voting vs voting against it because we recognize bringing in NFL players is dumb as fuck but we already have an advantage over everyone so we’re not going to vote for a ruling that isn’t in our best interest
@BigStinMania@PeteThamel I don’t think I it’s a bad look at all. The window was open and the opportunity was there because the NCAA is fucking retarded. Our head coach did his job by doing what was best for LSU Football per the current rules of the NCAA and because of that secured an advantage
