im confused on rylan griffens case, as i dont see him on this list.
On the flip side... a look at every player STILL protected by a state lawsuit that has a TRO/injunction granted or pending

These players ARE still eligible to seek a fifth year of eligibility currently ⤵️ pic.twitter.com/LmEjJl97Ly
He's no longer eligible. Of course this came out while I'm actually at a work thing all day.
However, Po'Boigh King is eligible!
so with griffen, did he basically not pursue that 5th year aggressively enough through the courts?

Pretty much gaurantees Warren will not be playing for us. Unless there's another lawsuit blocking this but that isn't as likely to work in the players favor.

Will LSU field a basketball team this year?
BREAKING:

Bryson Warren has been granted a TRO in Brazos County for his eligibility lawsuit against the NCAA, per his legal team.

Warren would still be ineligible per the SEC's new guidelines, so he'll likely be looking to play elsewhere.

What is stopping players from suing the SEC the way they have been suing the NCAA?
Not saying that is what we should do, but I assume LSU will give it a go.
because the SEC rules apply to the coaches and schools not the individual players.
so he technically can play in the SEC just Bucky would be suspended, we would have our payout reduced, etc

It's time to move on from Warren and stick with Pope receiving good news on 9/29 and possibly Ryan Griffin if he obtains eligibility in my humble opinion.
I wish Bryson the best.

At that point couldn't they try to get a TRO trying to bar the SEC from enforcing those rules?
It seems like we aren't far from that.
Could, but it doesn't seem like we're going to be the ones to test the SEC on it.

Oh yeah, there is no way we would.
I could see LSU doing it though, whether it be football or basketball. I am curious how far they take it.
ETA: I do wonder if LSU tried and won, would we/others follow suit?
I don't think anyone else will until it played all the way out. The penalties they're threatening to enforce are massive and themselves perhaps not a direct violation of any of the TRO's.
The SEC can say "well we're not limiting the player, he's eligible and participating, our ability to suspend coaches and fine schools is a separate issue"
Not a lawyer obviously so no clue how all of that stands up legally long term, but I don't think it's really a fight that anyone else thinks is worth it. And frankly I think ultimately LSU will decide is not worth it either.

Pretty much agree with all of this, though, I hope LSU keeps it up.
In the order granting the TRO to Texas A&M guard Bryson Warren, it includes "any member conferences, such as the Southeastern Conference" in the definition of those that cannot restrict eligibility for Warren next season.

That would, seemingly, prevent the SEC from applying its…
While the recent SEC ruling still prohibits Bryson Warren from playing in the SEC, this ruling does make Warren eligible temporarily to play college basketball, just not in the SEC.

This is the next step we’ve been referencing on TexAgs in Warren’s quest for NCAA eligibility. https://t.co/oFkyJhiIgR

Pretty sure that would not be looked upon kindly by the courts. They don't typically take kindly to attempts to evade their authority. I feel like this would be likely to result in contempt of court/criminal charges.
But I'm just your average bird lawyer, so I couldn't tell you the first thing about these types of TROs
Thought this was interesting, particularly in comparison to international guys and current NIL salaries.

Final interesting nugget was that we asked for him to be granted an additional year of eligibility.

This was one of the interesting things about the signing, if he was eligible he would have had multiple years.

Yes, the amateurism requirements will not last long term because the logic is absurd. A player cant earn $500k as an amateur because someone gave him $20,000 once? The traditionalist idea of college athletics stands no chance, but randomly it is still popping up in issues like this. The only way to preserve college athletics in something that resembles is to go all in on age based eligibility. They went halfway there, but they will still get their teeth kicked in on the half they tried to preserve which makes less sense than ever.
$27k is less than the value of a year of scholarship under even the old system

Players are employees of the university, not the SEC, or NCAA, or even the state.
This whole musical chairs is "finding the right judge."

Once Sankey let UNC skate on 1000s of fake classes, student-athlete and amateurism went out the window.

Inevitably, the SEC and NCAA will lose on anti-trust grounds.
I wish A&M wasn't going down this path with Warren. I don't like it when other schools do.

What a sad state this sport is in, " finding the right judge." What have we become.
College sports are truly farcical at this point.
The real bad guys here are the idiot boosters willing to pay 500k+ for a PG. Take your money and donate it to a cause that matters, not so a kid can play at his 5th school in 5 years.

This ^ it's a play ground for adults with too much money and they want to show what a big shot they are. Little king makers buying players. What proud moment as Aggies look to find the right judge who will grant a G-league player eligibility. What type of classes is Graham looking to take at Texas A&M?
We all know that any of these players trying to get eligibility will be enrolled in some combination of blowoff courses, likely asynchronous online just to establish student status.
Extremely unlikely that any of these kids involved in lawsuits are interested in anything more than a payday.
