LANE THE CLOWN

No.

Sorsby gambled and clearly cheated the system.

In this current one-year eligibility debacle, the system is cheating (otherwise innocent & optionless) players and trying to circumvent the courts in a manner that is harmful to fair play.

lolololololol

The system isn’t cheating anyone. You can’t go pro and come back. That’s about as steadfast a rule as you can’t gamble, especially on your team.

The “court” is a low level local judge who had greatly overstepped his authority. It’s a very unfortunate trend in this country that isn’t limited to CFB rulings.

Dont be surprised when the federal case the SEC filed in Alabama goes very differently.

Yea, it's all a mess. Nothing would surprise me.

It doesn’t matter when they made the arbitrary cut off date because the rule would always affect one class and with the current state of football that means players from that class would have found a lawyer and sued in a local court. I understand one argument is that maybe these guys would have just stayed in college had the 5 for 5 rule been instituted at a different date, but I don’t buy it. I’m positive there would still be guys who would have went pro, not made a roster, then would have sued for that fifth year.

I’m sorry these guys went through nfl training camp and didn’t make a roster, but that does not mean they should get to return to CFB.

That said, the most insane part of this is the judge saying the SEC can’t punish member institutions. Ruling players can return is one thing, and maybe, as your post states, there’s even a small argument for it. There is not, however, an argument for saying that conference can’t make and enforce rules, which where voted on by conference members. Conference members who joined the SEC of their own free will and agreed to abide by the conference rules.

Yes, it does. Actually, they could’ve handled it right either saying it back in December or waiting till this next December if they did it last December of this class would have known and they were in discussions about it for quite some time.

lol, no

Sure, they could have made the date so that this class that’s suing would have known. The outcome would have been the same though. Quite literally every single year there are guys who declare pro who shouldn’t, and the fail to make an nfl roster. So had the NCAA made this rule last December, as you suggest, the outcome would hav been the same. There would have been guys declare who didn’t make a roster that would then sue to come back.

nah, I don't think anyone is really arguing the fundamental aspects of these red lines.

The argument revolves around false pretenses under which players chose to "go pro".

No it’s not. I referenced my time around him pre-coaching in a different thread I believe.

Lane is not a good dude and I squirmed when his name was mentioned for our gig in the past. He was toxic when I was in his company and if anything it’s even more pronounced.

Shame cause his dad was good man.
