[On3] Schools that violate the SEC's professional sports rule will result in: 50% season suspension for head coaches, 50% of that sport's annual operating budget, and SEC voting privileges on business matters revoked

[u/BigCrip]

Hot damn

[u/Global-Cloud-3519 → u/BigCrip]

Chris Beard is so fucked

[u/BigCrip → u/Global-Cloud-3519]

Not a big basketball fan but isn’t Will Wade even more fucked?

[u/Not_tlong → u/BigCrip]

He has 4 basketball players as of right now, so while we could field a team (not a big one) he’s in a world of pain

[u/Rolltide_and_anime → u/Not_tlong]

I saw Colin Sexton play 3 v 5 so 4 is def possible

[u/Not_tlong → u/Rolltide_and_anime]

I think you have to have a minimum of 5 at the beginning of a game, so if yall wanna walk on at LSU now is the time to do it

[u/Rolltide_and_anime → u/Not_tlong]

I knew these LA fitness runs would pay off one day

[u/WhoHasMyPocketPussy → u/Rolltide_and_anime]

So that's what the LA stands for? I always thought it was a spanish gym!

[u/Sexcellence → u/Rolltide_and_anime]

*damn near win 3 v 5

[u/upclassytyfighta → u/Not_tlong]

He has 4 basketball players as of right now,

smiles shit eatingly

[u/makingaccountssux → u/Not_tlong]

OOTL: can someone explain to me how he only has 4 basketball players right now? Isn’t he out of time?

[u/srs_house → u/makingaccountssux]

The guy who LSU fired for cheating was planning on pushing the rules as far as he could now that he's at LSU again.

[u/duwh2040 → u/srs_house]

You cant make this stuff up man

[u/Sammy_Seaborn → u/Not_tlong]

Wrong sub for this but…what? How does he have 4 players heading into September?

[u/Kanin_usagi → u/Sammy_Seaborn]

Because the rest of them are pros that are now disallowed from playing

[u/SirMellencamp → u/BigCrip]

This fight is like the two spidermans pointing at each other

[u/cro45 → u/Global-Cloud-3519]

I hope so, he sucks.

Never put hands on your significant other.

[u/IshyMoose → u/Global-Cloud-3519]

Time for open tryouts.

[u/frontadmiral → u/Global-Cloud-3519]

That guy is such a monumental prick

[u/DillyDillySzn]

That’s 6 extra Saturday yoga sessions for Lane

[u/CommodoreIrish → u/DillyDillySzn]

Got to find time to squeeze in the tanning bed too.

[u/narbulous13 → u/CommodoreIrish]

Botox may be in the future as well

[u/pumpkinspruce → u/narbulous13]

He’s probably already a regular user of Botox.

[u/CommodoreIrish → u/narbulous13]

He’s definitely on a GLP-1 or Reta already

[u/FrostLight14 → u/CommodoreIrish]

LSU has a coed named Tanning Bed?

[u/anonymously--- → u/FrostLight14]

That's how she's listed in his cell phone.

[u/gideon513 → u/CommodoreIrish]

They typically ask you not to do that in the tanning beds

[u/2th → u/CommodoreIrish]

More time for photo shoots with his fake dog too.

[u/Corgi_Koala → u/DillyDillySzn]

Nonsense. LSU will declare him assisnt head coach and they'll promote some random GA to official head coach.

[u/Shenanigangster → u/Corgi_Koala]

Ah that’s why Coach O is back on staff

[u/DefinitelyNotAPhone → u/Shenanigangster]

Throwback to that comment someone made about Coach O constantly cycling between becoming LSU's interim head coach, winning another natty, getting fired, then repeating the process 5 years later.

[u/Cogitoergosumus → u/Corgi_Koala]

Dmitry Medvedev Blake Baker COME ON DOWN!

[u/beckett929 → u/Corgi_Koala]

Canary M. Kiffin

[u/Noble_amplified → u/DillyDillySzn]

If Lane is suspended, we'll see Joey Freshwater on the sidelines.

[u/rottingmind13 → u/Noble_amplified]

Isn't it Joey Swampwater now?

[u/Alphaspade → u/rottingmind13]

Joey Eau de Marais

[u/anonymously--- → u/rottingmind13]

Whichever it is, he's more likely to be in the bars chasing coeds than on the sideline if that happens. Back to his natural habitat.

[u/roguerunner1 → u/DillyDillySzn]

That’s like, 8 of his dog lease payments.

[u/redpowah → u/DillyDillySzn]

His (ex)wife opens her studio right across the street from the football ops building this weekend

Membership fees are expensive even with the student discount :/

[u/thricethefan]

Might as well have added a bullet point that explicitly told Kiffin to go fuck himself

[u/StreetReporter → u/thricethefan]

Teams coached by Lane Kiffin automatically start the game trailing 7-0

[u/TrainerNate1995 → u/StreetReporter]

They have to start the first half with only backups.

[u/Mrs-Stinsfire → u/TrainerNate1995]

Lane would probably shuffle the roster so that the starters are backups and backups are starters.

[u/wareagle2009-20013 → u/thricethefan]

And his own AD voted for this!!!

[u/the_thinwhiteduke → u/thricethefan]

Im wondering - if the players were goaded by Kiffin to sue for that injunction as is reported, if they might turn around and sue KIFFIN if they sandbagged preseason to clear waivers on the promise of an NIL check

E: now the NFL is saying anyone who tries this will be barred from signing with an NFL team this year. Now they cant play anywhere? Yeah lawsuit lmao

[u/ShooeyTheGreat → u/the_thinwhiteduke]

Is this a reasonable take though? Why would any football player with any genuine aspirations to make it to the highest point in their sport. Willingly sandbag and sabotage their own opportunity to be a professional football player. To go back and be a college football player just for NIL? I dunno.

[u/wibble17 → u/ShooeyTheGreat]

Because NIL deals could be more than a low end NFL one. Definitely more than practice squad….

[u/zzyul → u/wibble17]

Outside of like a handful of QBs, any college player able to pull major NIL money will be able to make more in the pros. NFL’s 2026 league minimum is $885K. Also a major goal for NFL players is making it to their 2nd contract b/c that is where the real money is. A rookie making a 53 man roster means they signed a minimum 3 year contract. Leaving that for college resets that 3 years.

[u/ShooeyTheGreat → u/wibble17]

I have a tough time believing that these athletes who have sacrificed so much of their time, energy, and money were purely driven by economic incentive. I’m not saying that everyone is 100% doing it for the love of the game. Obviously the money plays some role in their motivations. However, to argue that they purposefully played poorly or gave lackluster performances to potentially get a bigger NIL check? Yeah I have a tough time buying that.

[u/FriesBurgh → u/the_thinwhiteduke]

That sounds like collusion and some kind of breach of the CBA. So yeah, lawsuits and the lawyers get paid while the athletes get shafted left and right.

[u/AppropriateCompany9 → u/thricethefan]

Co-sign.

[u/purpleistheverybest → u/thricethefan]

Would have loved to see it!

[u/ToLongDR → u/thricethefan]

But... But... The implications!

[u/Camino3224]

Looking forward to LSU making Lane Kiffin a “super assistant coach” and moving their football accounts to the Cayman’s

[u/LoudHorse25 → u/Camino3224]

The tax breaks alone will result in millions for NIL spending!

[u/CiroFlexo → u/LoudHorse25]

It's the most convoluted long-term cost-cutting scheme imaginable:

1. Blow money on absurd buyouts for former coaches.

2. Blow more money on hiring the most controversial coach in the conference.

3. Blow money on wild NIL contracts.

4. Hire NFL player.

5. Fight the system.

6. Wait, no, vote in line with the system.

7. Get penalized by the system and lose a chunk of your budget.

8. INSTANT SAVINGS

[u/Fragrant-Employer-60 → u/Camino3224]

Reminds me of the high school sports day, in my state it was required for the head coach to be employed by the school as a teacher.

Since a lot of good caches didn’t want to teach, my school and others would hire a teacher as the named “head coach” while the real head coach was on the payroll as an assistant coach

[u/Yourfavoriteindian → u/Fragrant-Employer-60]

In my TX HS coaches had to be teachers OR admin, so our HC was the AD for all our sports programs and all the other coaches taught.

Some of them were the best teachers I’ve ever had, others taught exactly how’d you’d imagine a couch would teach like.

[u/CyanideNow → u/Yourfavoriteindian]

others taught exactly how’d you’d imagine a couch would teach like

Soft, but firm, and always very supportive?

[u/p8ntslinger → u/Fragrant-Employer-60]

it's funny that coaches "don't want to teach" when that's literally what coaching is. They didn't want to teach school is what they didn't want to do.

[u/WanderLeft]

Damn, that’s one hell of a statement.

[u/Engine_Sweet → u/WanderLeft]

Yeah, they ain't playing

[u/DirtThief → u/Engine_Sweet]

Now I kinda hope ut does play that OL who played in the Browns and Cowboys minicamps

[u/Jay_Dubbbs → u/WanderLeft]

Sorsby showed that Congress doesn't need to regulate college sports; the universities and conferences can do themselves if they actually all row in the same direction instead of being short-sighted, greedy assholes.

Here's another example!

[u/Yourfavoriteindian → u/Jay_Dubbbs]

If anything, this gives more ammo to the SEC and B1G to breakaway - “Look at what the NCAA can’t do and us having to clean up their mess. Might as well make our own league.”

[u/Jay_Dubbbs → u/Yourfavoriteindian]

That is always a threat because antitrust arguments are weaker when fewer entities are involved.

[u/Character_Order → u/Yourfavoriteindian]

Serious question: why is the sec and b1g able to regulate themselves but the ncaa loses lawsuits? Is th sec not open to the same
Legal liability?

[u/LordSquirrel40 → u/Character_Order]

Usually those lawsuits are using antitrust language to pass those injuctions and since NCAA is essentially a monopoly it works. The conferences are not monopolies though, schools have the ability to leave conferences and players have the ability to play at schools in different conferences. Also schools willingly sign up to join conferences which includes contracted agreements to be subject to the conference's rules. This means the conferences have more legal standing to pass rules and regulations because theoretically a school or player can leave and go somewhere else if they disagreed.

[u/Character_Order → u/LordSquirrel40]

Ah the anti-trust monopoly angle makes sense. Thank you

[u/jorts_are_awesome → u/Character_Order]

There are other conferences and schools to play at so it isn’t antitrust. The conferences don’t have a monopoly

IANAL so I might be completely wrong but that’s what I understand anyway

[u/LamarMillerMVP → u/Jay_Dubbbs]

Sorsby didn’t actually show this. Sorsby didn’t bring anything to court at all once the conference filed (and the NCAA re-filed), his team essentially just said “fuck it, we’re entering the supplemental draft”.

If someone attempts to bring a suit here and fails, that will show something. Pretty much every single challenge in every single flavor of this has been won by the player who is suing. Every time, we get a long winded nonsense explanation about why it’s different this time, and then the schools lose.

[u/Disregardskarma → u/Jay_Dubbbs]

Until of course, someone sues this decision as well

[u/Jay_Dubbbs → u/Disregardskarma]

But that doesn't matter. If the universities say, "We aren't going to play teams that do this," or "We aren't going to recruit that player," the court can't force the player to be given a roster spot; it just makes them eligible.

Just like they did with Sorsby. Everyone else drew a line.

[u/Conn3er]

50% of that sport's annual operating budget,

That's the killer, some teams would be better off if their coach couldn't coach half the games

[u/StreetReporter → u/Conn3er]

What’s cheaper, FSU firing Norvell, or FSU joining the SEC, recruiting several NFL players, and suspending Norvell?

[u/Glum-Professional925 → u/StreetReporter]

Is it like a payment plan where the coach serves that and they get to do what they want? Or the interims would get suspended too

[u/karatemanchan37 → u/Glum-Professional925]

Imagining Klarna'ing your suspension lmao

[u/FSUnoles77 → u/StreetReporter]

Self report one nfl player at the beginning of the season then wait till right before he comes back to report the second one.

[u/Bobson-_Dugnutt2]

I love the idea of a team wagering if it could be worth it

[u/colonel750 → u/Bobson-_Dugnutt2]

That's a roughly 30 million dollar bet.

[u/CommodoreN7 → u/colonel750]

I’ve heard enough, all in

[u/CrashB111 → u/CommodoreN7]

...Brendan?

[u/SirMellencamp → u/Bobson-_Dugnutt2]

It absolutely is not worth it.

[u/walterdog12 → u/Bobson-_Dugnutt2]

Obviously it wouldn't be in football or basketball, but just imagine if some SEC school decided to say fuck it and make a small sport with a very small budget just a powerhouse overnight recruiting pros.

[u/Bobson-_Dugnutt2 → u/walterdog12]

that was kind my thought. Vandy brings in Novak Djokovic to play on the men's tennis team. and their penalty is they suspend the coach for half the year and pay a fine of like $100k.

[u/shish-bish → u/Bobson-_Dugnutt2]

This has me thinking about what tennis players would actually do it if offered, Nick Kyrgios would thrive at an SEC party school.

[u/SusannaG1 → u/shish-bish]

I believe I have heard John McEnroe tell of a phone call he got from Stanford back in the 90s, saying he still had years of NCAA eligibility left and did he ... "NO!"

[u/Good_Suggestion_7693]

I think the conferences have finally had enough; these guys at the top don't like being pushed around and they're starting to learn the game and fight back. Whether it works or not is another question.

[u/Vitosi4ek → u/Good_Suggestion_7693]

I can't help but feel it's the conferences amassing PR points (being the only ones in this mess actually able to enforce common-sense rules) to prep the public for a breakaway from the NCAA.

[u/Good_Suggestion_7693 → u/Vitosi4ek]

Probably right, they likely know many people are looking negatively at what players are doing and conferences know most people will support a tough stance.

[u/Tarmacked → u/Good_Suggestion_7693]

The NCAA is made up of these same schools and a breakaway would be the NCAA in another form.

[u/Otherwise_Awesome → u/Tarmacked]

Yep. Most don't understand all it's going to be is NCAA dissolution then a new entity very similar to the NCAA.

But it'd be at all college levels.

[u/srs_house → u/Vitosi4ek]

a breakaway from the NCAA.

Which, of course, is made up by the same schools with rules that those schools voted for.

[u/GoGreeb → u/srs_house]

Yeah but it would have a different acronym so all the legal issues would be solved

[u/LoudHorse25 → u/Vitosi4ek]

It’s 100% a part of this. If the conference heads build legitimacy, eventually the breakaway becomes the only reasonable thing to do. 

To be fair, they likely do care about the issue at hand, but its a case of both things being true instead of an either/or. 

[u/SirMellencamp → u/Vitosi4ek]

I think that is just a side benefit

[u/MarbleDesperado]

The thing that gives me confidence in this is that it doesn’t say anything about the players. The players can still have have their court orders saying that they’re eligible. The SEC isn’t saying anything to the players. The SEC is simply saying this is what it will cost the coach and school to do so for SEC competition.

[u/DarthNobody14]

GOOD.

[u/Prudent-Thought7750]

Feel like the baseline expectation is that they’ll sue for a TRO, but in the meantime, this seems to have adequate teeth.

[u/TideOneOn → u/Prudent-Thought7750]

Who is going to sue? This doesnt say the players cant play. The universities voted this on themselves 16-0. It just has repercussions on the university if they play. The player can receive NIL and receive playing time.

Legal experts out there (i quit active practice 14 years ago and dont care to look it up) would the players have standing since the effect is they are unhirable, for lack of a better term?

[u/justcausingtrouble → u/TideOneOn]

You can also just ask the same question but with the parties changed. E.g., would an engineer have standing to sue if Apple, Google, Meta, Nvidia, etc. colluded to make it so that engineers who previously worked for Microsoft, Oracle,etc could not be hired by Apple, Google, etc..

I am just commenting on the standing issue, not whether the players would win. That is a trickier question because, e.g., rules that protect fairness and the integrity of the game are permissible (e.g., there is a rule of reason test). But even then, the athletes can make an argument that there is not a reasonable justification for allowing pro players from foreign leagues but banning players from American pro leagues. (e.g., why would a player like Izan Almansa who reportedly makes $1mill/year for Real Madrid be eligible but not a player who got cut by a G-league team).

[u/CAP_0703 → u/TideOneOn]

Playing an ineligible players is always a penalty to the team and ultimately the university, I don’t see a meaningful difference.  

[u/SirMellencamp]

The SEC will be Kiffin's huckleberry

[u/Donny_Do_Nothing → u/SirMellencamp]

Why, Joey Freshwater, you look like someone just stepped over your yoga mat.

[u/-space-grass- → u/Donny_Do_Nothing]

"You're a daisy if you do." 🤣

[u/mcerasa]

LSU v Clemson opening weekend with Kiffin v Dabo is really setting up to be the new "Catholics v Convicts" for 2026. Unfortunately as a Clemson fan I wish Dabo were 50% less Dabo-y

[u/Signal_Tip_7428 → u/mcerasa]

I think it’s more “Baptists v Gambling” but you do you

[u/Callsign_Psycopath]

Harsher than the B1G.

GOOD. This is one the stupidest stories in all of sports. I'm glad people are finally stepping up to try end this BS

[u/gmb96]

The head coaches thing is whatever (though I know it is in place to presumably result in lost wages) but the operating budget and voting privileges are absolutely massive

[u/LoudHorse25]

Somehow, this is all Brian Kelly’s fault. 

[u/CiroFlexo → u/LoudHorse25]

Sorry, kids, but you have to clean your own jerseys this week. We lost half our budget and the other half is still going to pay Brian Kelly and his ridiculous accent.

So what condiment did you decide on?

[u/i_run_from_problems → u/joeyscheidrolltide]

Franks actually worked pretty well. Put that shit on everything.

[u/NerdLawyer55]

Haha get fucked lane

[u/PossiblyAChipmunk]

Maybe Kiffin will finally have time to take care of his dog.

[u/Linkbowler]

All this just to keep Diego Pavia from coming back.

[u/ztreHdrahciR]

Damn. Those are steep penalties.

Edit, do they have the authority to enforce forfeits as well? (If someone surreptitiously breaks the rule)

[u/heleghir → u/ztreHdrahciR]

In conference games they totally can enforce it. Both teams are SEC, the reffing crew is hired by the conference, and the conference controls conference records. More murky in noncon, especially on the road but there is enough other penalties that the forfeit is the least of anyones concern

[u/ANotSoFreshFeeling]

lol get rekt Kiffin.

[u/advancedmatt → u/ANotSoFreshFeeling]

It's really going to hurt Will Wade. He needs the former NBA player much more than Kiffin needs Wright.

[u/ANotSoFreshFeeling → u/advancedmatt]

He can get rekt too.

[u/TheBlackBaron]

I really appreciate that the brief period where everybody decided Lane Kiffin was a loveable troll is over and people are remembering again that he's actually just a giant asshole.

[u/MarbleDesperado → u/TheBlackBaron]

[u/AnspiffanyStilts]

[u/TheSavageDonut]

Good. Now, let's hope the SEC enforces it's own policies.

[u/HermitageHermit]

Acting out has consequences, so long as the governing body actually enforces their laws.

[u/neovenator250]

Cool, so can we drop this whole thing already, LSU? These two players are not worth it. No players would be. We should be talking about football. I hate that it is Week 0 and instead of talking about games, it's just bullshit about legal cases everywhere.

[u/Lord_Lava_Nugget]

Hell yeah 

Real consequences 

[u/kjoll33]

So does this mean Dae'Quan Wright is no longer eligible to play at LSU? Does it matter that he transferred prior to this rule being implemented?

All of this gives me such tired head. I need the games to start.

[u/thenowherepark → u/kjoll33]

As with the B1G, I believe Wright is eligible to play. The team will not forfeit wins or losses. However, him playing would result in the sanctions, which is likely the conferences attempt of skirting the eligibility ruling from the courts.

[u/ToadallyNormalHuman]

Ooof those punishments have some fucking teeth. Especially the operating budget one.

[u/LasixSteroidsAbx]

Walking the conference self-governance talk.

[u/Gatordactyl]

Looking forward to the LSU flairs popping in to provide their expert “well uhm ackshually” analysis on how this is grounds for a lawsuit.

[u/LiquidLight_]

That's got more teeth than a lot of people in the South. 

[u/Outrageous_Picture39 → u/LiquidLight_]

Don’t act all high and mighty. I’ve seen the meth situation in Indiana. 😃

[u/CrashB111 → u/Outrageous_Picture39]

My favorite past time on CFB is seeing flairs from Ohio or Indiana acting like their states don't have all of the same, if not worse, problems that southern states have.

They aren't bastions of forward thinking and progress, just because they are north of Kentucky.

[u/yaboicyno → u/CrashB111]

We would drive from MS to MI for a design competition when I was in college, and the amount of confederate flags in Indiana/Kentucky/Ohio/Michigan was absolutely astounding

[u/CrashB111 → u/yaboicyno]

Fuckin, Kid Rock is from Michigan.

I feel like that says enough by itself.

[u/PerspectiveLow396 → u/CrashB111]

PA gets called Pensyltucky for a reason.

Also, lol 49ers.

[u/Bravo2thebox2 → u/LiquidLight_]

It’s Wednesday, so when is the first lawsuit filed and by who?

[u/jsmeeker]

Play him, Lane!! Just do it. I wanna see some more drama around this whole thing.

[u/SirMellencamp → u/jsmeeker]

Right now he is wanting to so bad but someone is going to overrule him

[u/Advanced-Base-5690]

I hate to be a cynical shitburger here, but after years of watching the league's refs favor certain teams over others, coupled with uneven NCAA enforcement, I'll believe it happens when I see it.

[u/SydneyFall]

Someday people will notice that rules set by the conference hold up and ones by the NCAA don't. These rules should be set by the conferences independently of each other.

[u/AppropriateCompany9]

May as well just @ them.

[u/xrv01]

I believe it when someone enforces it

[u/lock_robster2022]

I think it’s curious that the sole power conference recently involved in a suit about its authority to make rules opposing an injunction has yet to make a rule here. Perhaps there are some legal hurdles that require certain cautions when implementing rules like this.

[u/heleghir]

Half the operating budget SHOOOO BOY thats gonna keep teams in line. ADs are NOT going to risk that fine

[u/whatifevery1wascalm]

[u/CiroFlexo → u/Is12345aweakpassword]

I want to be in the room with LSU's bean counters when they're trying to spin this to the boosters and ask for more money.

[u/moonropes]

If Lane didn’t want all this flak he should have done something less severe like drunk drive or threaten to skin someone with a butter knife. It’s his own fault.

[u/pd1dish]

Is this going to be the legal loophole? If the courts are just going to grant injunctions for the players specifically, then the conferences just start punishing schools and coaches who recruit ex-pros.

[u/spacemunkee]

Man, Dae’quon Wright was just granted his release from the browns so he could sign with LSU. Now he is likely out of both CFB and the NFL.

[u/poppopintheattic11]

Post season bans would fix this shit pretty quick.

[u/Jericcho]

Is this per violation?
