This more just allocates to these Talented Athletes to go and commit to a school where the fanbase is loyal and committed! Who wants to play for a university where their fanbase is more concerned about low 90° temps than support the teams they are watching! If you are an Athlete that wants the experience to be unforgettable, Commit to a school like Arkansas where it won’t be. USC is showing you that you’d gonna wish you would forget your years there! Such a shame for what was an icon school in College Football! That title is dead!

2-10 Arkansas still had 70,000+ for A&M after a 3 hour rain delay

The cornerstone of the state court lawsuits against the NCAA seeking another year of eligibility has been a breach of the implied covenant of good faith (evidence of arbitrary enforcement or bad faith is required to make that claim) in performing the contract between the NCAA and member institutions, of which college athletes are intended, third-party beneficiaries. That status is what allows them to sue for breach of contract. Countless courts have rightly issued injunctions on those grounds.

The main reason, but not the only reason, I’m so confident the Conferences will prevail in litigation against college athletes is that, if you apply the law as it stands in every state, it is legally impossible for the players to prove a claim against the Conferences for breach of the implied covenant of good faith as third-party beneficiaries of a contract: 1) there is no factual or legal basis to argue that the Conferences’ Constitutions or Bylaws make the players third-party beneficiaries of the contractual relationship between the Conferences and their schools; and 2) neither the recent “NFL/NBA rule” nor the SEC intraconference transfer rule have been applied inconsistently, arbitrarily, or in bad faith.

Contrast these Conference rules with the NCAA’s ridiculously inconsistent application of its own rules. The comparison is like apples to oranges.

Whatever state trial judges may do, all of these cases will ultimately be decided by applying the law that exists in every state. There is no state - including Louisiana - where the law supports a valid legal claim for breach of contract against any Conference. As for the players’ lawyers’ assertion that a Conference can be enjoined as the alter ego of the NCAA or for acting in concert with the NCAA, that argument is likewise contrary to the established law in every state. As they say in Louisiana, that dog won’t hunt.

Nor do I believe there is any basis for alleging that any Conference has violated the Sherman Act or its state law counterparts. No one seems to take that assertion seriously - not even the people making it.

Like it or not, the evidence and applicable law is what determines final outcomes when cases are appealed - not what lawyers say in interviews or on social media. Similarly, where state law is involved in a federal court case invoking the U.S. Constitution (such as the Big 12’s lawsuit), federal district judges will carefully apply the law of the state where the controversy arose and are known for their unwillingness to heed to pressure from any Governor or fan base.

That’s why I’d be telling any school that is considering putting a former NFL or NBA player on their roster they will likely regret making such a risky decision - one that will probably be career-ending for anyone who was willing to take that gamble.

That’s my professional opinion after being in this business for forty years - not to suggest that should slow down the critics and self-taught X-Lawyers. 😬

Btw, I believe Ole Miss will receive Penalties for continuing to break rules and regulations by the SEC, it just depends how big on the penalties will Greg Sankey go on a first time offense! With it being two rules broken, he won’t be light on the penalties! This in my opinion was a dumb move by Ole Miss and Chris Beard!

[Seth Strackbein @SethStrackbein]

The first Test for @GregSankey is Chris Beard and Ole Miss! Micah Handlogten Redshirt Senior commits to Ole Miss despite Logging games in the NBA Summer League with the Utah Jazz, and at least verbally agreed to an Exhibit 10 Contract. Also makes him an Intra-Conference Transfer!

@JamesBryantWX You can have all the talent in the world, but if you can’t coach, you can certainly go 2-10! Look at Sam Pittman at Arkansas.

Taylen Green with the handoff to Booth for his first Touchdown in his NFL Preseason Debut!

[Seth Strackbein @SethStrackbein]

Taylen Green’s first outing was a 3 and out! Not really his fault, Browns Punter Returner forgot which direction to run resulting on the offense starting on their own 1 Yard Line! Brutal!

[Seth Strackbein @SethStrackbein]

@arkrazorbackx I got the most views on a tweet ever for my account just simply speaking truth with hints of Rage baiting BBN. They’re more concerned about what we think about them than actually looking at their future, and Mark Mitchell’s reality that he’s gonna see soon. It’s funny.

[Seth Strackbein @SethStrackbein]

@MaggieLJohnson No reason to Apologize! You gotta deal with them too! I feel bad for the SEC for dealing with them.

[Seth Strackbein @SethStrackbein]

@TheBigBlueMM Denzel Aberdeen didn’t either, and yet he entered the transfer portal, why? Because his agent told him to! And look, he’s eligible! Again, it’s on Mark Mitchell!

[Seth Strackbein @SethStrackbein]

BBN is literally out here trying to say inter-conference transfers who literally followed the rules and announced their entrance and into the transfer portal back in April is just like Mark Mitchell’s case. Mark Mitchell didn’t announce his entry into the transfer portal, he only announced her declaration for the Draft!

Mark Mitchell already closed his own door because he could’ve simply said “I’m testing the waters while entering into the transfer. Even if he had no eligibility, he still could have entered the transfer portal. But he only declared for the NBA Draft, and never entered the transfer portal when the window was open back in April! Y’all are out here saying he didn’t know that, then how did Aberdeen, Ewin, Dioubatte all know? It’s called agents, they have agents who understand the rules and know how to put their clients in the best position! It is ALL on Mark Mitchell, not the SEC to understand the rules! Mark Mitchell will not be eligible simply because he didn’t follow the rules.

Not surprised one bit, but eventually the Bigger bear will put this university in its place! That Bayou Water showing its affects here!! #IYKYK
