Mostly corporate litigation. Businesses suing businesses. Going on 28 years with a bar card, which seems crazy to say out loud.

Yep, agree with all that. I haven't been following closely the past day or two, but curious if the Big 12 weighs in. I'd think Texas Tech might go trolling with some dollars.What I meant was that it doesn't change anything from the athlete's perspective. If they want to run to a hometown judge and seek a TRO, now they have to sue the NCAA and the conference both to have their rules declared unenforceable. But, I do think these new rules will now change how aggressively the member schools pursue/support such efforts by the athletes. These schools don't give a shit about the NCAA. They do fear their own conference leadership. In both the SEC and the Big10 the Presidents/Regents voted unanimously for the rule. So, if you are an AD or coach, are you really going to thumb your nose at your boss' vote and publicly support bringing in a failed pro to your team?
Watch LSU. They are where the rubber will meet the road on this. They have already made plans to bring in failed pros in FB and MBB. And, while their president voted in favor of the rule, he abstained from the second vote authorizing severe penalties for those who violate. Hmmm. Why would they do that?I think LSU may officially stay out of the fight, but if a judge declares an athlete eligible to play, they may try to walk the line that they are merely following the court's order. Much like TT and the Big 12, I suspect that ultimately LSU will relent. But, Kiffin and the president and LA governor are all egomaniacs who are okay playing by a different set of rules. Grab your popcorn!!

Big 12 and ACC have all now followed suit with similar rules.
I saw a judge in Texas issued a TRO against the SEC and Sankey saying that they cannot enforce the rule they just put out. Again, grab some popcorn. This aint over yet.

SEC has sued LSU, Kiffin and its AD and president in federal court in Alabama. Without totally nerding out from a legal perspective, there are so many interesting jurisdictional issues. Much of what they are suing over is already at issue in LA state court, but generally speaking, if the federal court wants to, it can sort of overrule the state court, but that is highly unusual. The federal judge could also bow out and say the issues need to be decided in the LA state court case. I would be surprised if that happens. I think they will argue over similar things in both courts for a while and see where it all goes.
Kiffin is taking a hell of a chance if he plays these NFL washouts. If the state court judge's ruling gets overturned, he could be subject to the discipline.
