Asked sankey about 91 basketball overseas pros who are allowed to play in ncaa.
Sankey said they played overseas for clubs and other things that may not specifically be professional leagues.
Sankey also said he does not know the definition of pro for those players

of the 44 total plaintiffs, the Judge has agreed that only 7 of them (ones with SEC ties) need to be involved in this particular case and will separate the hearings.
of those 7, two are trying to play for LSU this year.
2 of 44.
but yeah, LSU is the big bad wolf in this whole situation.
because they have a guy they recruited who did sign a standard rookie contract. with a $0 signing bonus and $0 guaranteed salary. never participated in any practices (recovering from an injury), was cut prior to preseason, and has made a grand total of $0 in his entire NFL “career”.

Sankey Said he isn't aware of any particular players situation and it's not an issue about being a pro athlete but he thinks that if a player moves on then they have made their choice and should not be able to come back.
um, what?
so moving on to minicamp isn’t moving on?
getting paid to play in leagues overseas isn’t moving on?
and for the record, I’m against ANY of these guys playing college ball in any sport.
i just want the rule to be clear and apply across the board for all of them.
one way or the other.
pick a fucking side, make that the rule across entire fucking country and let’s move on with the season already.

also if anyone here has a legal background, can y’all answer a question for me?
How can this case and the lawsuit being filed by the SEC be heard in the “home territory” of either side?
this case is in Louisiana
the SEC lawsuit is gonna be in Alabama
shouldn’t this have to move to fucking Idaho or something?

oh please enlighten me then.
because here is what happened.
44 (former) NCAA athletes filed a suit against the NCCA for their fifth year of eligibility.
only 2 of those 44 are connected to LSU football in any way.
so at the end of the day, the SEC is going after LSU for recruiting and trying to sign two guys that have been paid a combined total of $50k by the NFL.
two guys that were technically speaking eligible for LSU to pursue.
two guys that LSU is not even putting on their roster until a final ruling is issued.
that’s what this is.
players that the court said was eligible, so LSU went after them.
Players signing a contract and getting paid to play basketball overseas? no problem, eligible to play in SEC.
Players signing a contract and spending multiple years in the NBA g-league? no problem, eligible to play in the SEC (until his NCAA eligibility was overturned).
Players trying out for an NFL team but getting cut? no problem, eligible to play in the SEC.
Players signing a non-guaranteed contract, never stepping foot on an NFL practice field, never stepping foot on an NFL field for games, and receiving ZERO money from the NFL?
sue their asses!!!!
do you think that NONE of those other guys were recruited by the SEC schools they came back to play for?
or did they just magically teleport onto campus without and previous contact at all?
and i’ve said before in this thread, i don’t think ANY of these players should be eligible. at all.
but the precedent was already set before LSU went after any of these kids.
but NOW it’s a problem.
and let’s not kid ourselves about the SEC.
their reputation is very well know.
but NOW all of a sudden they are acting sanctimoniously and filing lawsuits over two players that combined have never even played in any preseason games of their professional sport. Let alone multiple seasons in a pro league.
Charles Bediako played 3 SEASONS in the NBA G-League and made over $500k during his career.
No lawsuit by the SEC.
SEC didn’t try to stop Alabama from playing him (until NCAA rules him ineligible).
SEC allowed him to participate in 5 games for Alabama.
LSU gets commitments from two guys that never even made it into a fucking preseason game. combined to make a whopping $50k.
and until this gets cleared, hasn’t even been added to the official roster yet.
Lawsuit!
Texas has a guy that actually participated in NFL mini camps for two teams.
no problem.
LSU has a guy that never participated in shit (injury prevented him from taking part), never got paid anything at all.
oh no, no, no!!!! can’t have him. he signed a piece of paper (same exact type of paper that was apparently cool for Bediako to sign).

again, to be clear on my stance on this shitshow.
I don't think any of these guys SHOULD be eligible.
but if they ARE eligible, then schools should be able to go after them.
and my biggest gripe is that the SEC has previously had no problems with any other schools signing any other players that have signed contracts for pro leagues, participated in pro leagues, etc. before coming back.
but as soon as LSU does it ... this is their response.

It’s Lane.
I don’t disagree with your stance on the whole thing except you can’t have just part of the Lane Kiffin experience. You want the good coach, you get the media and you get the army of people he’s pissed off in the past all just looking for their shot.
