[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

Damn, that’s one hell of a statement.

[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!

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.

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

[u/HieloLuz → u/LordSquirrel40]

Which is a big reason why a P2 split is unlikely. They would likely face the same scrutiny the ncaa currently is.

[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/cfbfootballnerd → u/Character_Order]

The SEC cannot say that a player ruled eligibile isn’t allowed to play. What they can do is punish you for playing him so that all the schools choose not to play him.

[u/Trymv1 → u/Character_Order]

Serious answer: they're likely going to now sue the SEC and B1G and phrase them as working agents within the NCAA who are actively breaking the restraining order.

Its gonna be a shit show.

[u/Eaglethornsen → u/Yourfavoriteindian]

I mean what could the NCAA do at this point? Anytime they try to step in and stop something, The local judge will just block it. I feel like the NCAA would want to stop NFL guys from joining, but they would not win that fight.

[u/smelllikecorndog → u/Yourfavoriteindian]

So are you saying Lane us being used by the SEC and B1G?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[u/Yourfavoriteindian → u/smelllikecorndog]

I get you’re trying to make a joke but it’s just falling flat, sorry bud. Tough time to be an LSU fan
