Zxavian Harris on the stand. Says he only got paid a total of $190 with the saints and never played or practiced. He only rehabbed the whole time.

From live testimony just now in the Pyburn v NCAA hearing: Mr. Downton: Mr. Sankey, you’ve testified that the SEC follows all NCAA by-laws and incorporates them into your conference’s by-laws, which I appreciate, but did I just hear you say that as the SEC Commissioner, you don’t know what the current NCAA 5 for 5 bylaws that took effect 8/1/26 actually say? Answer: I don’t. It’s the first time I’ve seen this new manual
Jesus Christ!
forget that he’s had two months now to review the official rule (and i’m sure likely was given some sort of heads up before that about the rule). How the hell do you even admit that you didn’t read it before walking into a scheduled court hearing where you know damn good and well it will be brought up?

SEC files suit vs. LSU over school's intent to play pro athletes
The SEC sued LSU in U.S. District Court in Alabama on Thursday, alleging the university is violating the league's First Amendment right of expressive association by ignoring SEC rules that prohibit signing and playing former NFL players.The lawsuit, which also names the LSU board of supervisors, LSU president Wade Rousse, athletics director Verge Ausberry and football coach Lane Kiffin as defendants, was filed while SEC commissioner Greg Sankey and others testified during a separate injunction hearing in a state court in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
During Sankey's testimony in the state court hearing, one of the plaintiff's attorneys brought up the newly filed federal lawsuit. The revelation sent a buzz through the packed courtroom, as few people were aware of the new development until it was mentioned.
The lawsuit was filed just after midnight on Thursday morning, not during the hearing.
"The SEC has endured and thrived for nearly a century because its members have adhered to that common set of rules, which each member institution, and every coach at those institutions, has agreed to follow," the SEC's federal lawsuit said. "Among the most fundamental of those rules are the longstanding provisions that prohibit individuals who have entered a professional draft, signed professional contracts, or been rostered on a professional athletics team from returning to compete in college athletics (the "Professionalism Rules").
"These rules are built upon an essential principle: college athletics is reserved for students who are actively pursuing an education while competing for their universities. The Professionalism Rules preserve competitive fairness, protect opportunities for high school students and current college athletes, and maintain the distinction between college and professional sports."
The SEC is asking the federal court for a preliminary and permanent injunction "prohibiting the defendants from violating the conference's First Amendment rights by compelling the conference to associate with conduct that is contrary to the Conference's purpose and mission," and a preliminary and permanent injunction "barring Defendants from seeking to deter, coerce, prevent, or punish the Conference for exercising its First Amendment rights."
The lawsuit said the distinction between playing amateur and professional athletes is "critical" to the SEC's structure and governance.

Good question. That was also bullshit. At least you admit it.

You trying to act like people are upset about a specific amount of money they made while in the NFL for a beat is proof of how disingenuous you're being. Just drop the act.

I've said all along that all of this is complete bullshit and shouldn't be allowed at all.
HOWEVER, apply the rules across the board.
either none of them are, or all of them are.
that's it.

You said the CONCEPT is bullshit. But you can't even pretend to admit what LSU is doing is even minorly dirty.

what act?
I've been extremely clear on my stance.
NONE of these players should be eligible.
none. not a single one.
but if you're going to allow SOME of them, then allow ALL of them.
can't have it both ways.

Must be a really awkward hearing then, with only a few things being said here and there. It's not like you're just picking and choosing what to post here to paint LSU in the best light or anything......
Sorry about not shutting the fuck up
