Yeah but LSU isn't laying down. Even without the LSU stuff there were going to be plenty of teams (Arkansas, Tenn, Florida, etc) that would cry about this to Sankey. We should have been ready for the fight or atleast tried.
The frustrating thing is that this isn't a new rule. Did we not have a plan to fight it or were we just hoping no one would notice? Feels like we either had no plan or just immediately gave up.
Mitchell will play. NCAA & SEC can gfts and get destroyed in court. Guarantee LSU will be playing all their NFL dudes all season. Lane won't back down and will set the precedent.
NCAA is horrible at picking their battles. If they just would have punished UNC instead of saying that fake classes and fake grades were ok then they could have continued the "student-athlete" charade. It all fell apart then.
