LSU had plans to sign two football players who signed NFL deals but could receive another season of eligibility from a Baton Rouge judge, but Tiger Rag breaks down the news of a new SEC rule banning the return of former pros like tight end Dae’Quan Wright and defensive tackle Zxavian Harris. Brett Martel of the Associated Press was in the courtroom when a Baton Rouge judge granted LSU basketball signee RJ Luis a preliminary injunction to return to college basketball after signing an NBA contract. He reacts to the SEC’s new policy and breaks down what’s next for Luis and the Tigers. Here is the complete transcript of the show from YouTube.

He was among several reporters in a Baton Rouge courtroom yesterday 1:38 1 minute, 38 seconds covering the RJ Lewis hearing as he was granted another year of eligibility. Or was he? We’re about ready to get into 1:45 1 minute, 45 seconds that discussion here in a second. And then a little bit later on, we’ll talk with Reed Darcy, who covers women’s basketball for the 1:54 1 minute, 54 seconds Advocate. And there is a very interesting story involving Kim Moy and her team with Kate Koval deciding to 2:01 2 minutes, 1 second leave the program after LSU brought a Russian in to uh join the program. And 2:09 2 minutes, 9 seconds of course, Kate is from the Ukraine and her dad is a member of the Ukraine army. 2:14 2 minutes, 14 seconds So, a lot going on there. And we do have football. Thankfully, thankfully football season is set to begin here in 2:22 2 minutes, 22 seconds a couple weeks. And kind of looking forward to next week’s show where we can actually start breaking down the LSU Clemson game. But man, um, a lot more to 2:31 2 minutes, 31 seconds get to here over the u what’s happening outside or on the sidelines or away from 2:38 2 minutes, 38 seconds the game itself. Um, as many of you know, and by the way, uh, we we are cognizant of the fact that tonight is 2:47 2 minutes, 47 seconds Skip Bertman, the the memorial for, uh, or the celebration of life for Skip Bman. If you missed our show last week, 2:54 2 minutes, 54 seconds we dedicated basically the entire show to it. Uh, great interviews there with Doug Thompson, Todd Walker, Ryan Tero. I 3:02 3 minutes, 2 seconds strongly encourage you to go back uh, whether on YouTube or wherever you get your podcast and listen to it. It’s some 3:09 3 minutes, 9 seconds It’s available on tiger.com and available at tiger.com as well uh to listen to it. Uh and we may uh depending 3:16 3 minutes, 16 seconds on how this show flows and what might may or may not be said tonight uh during the memorial, we may try to incorporate that. But we certainly took our time 3:25 3 minutes, 25 seconds last week uh honoring the man who meant so much to LSU, Baton Rouge, and the state of Louisiana. But getting to our 3:33 3 minutes, 33 seconds breaking news, Todd, um I think we’re all pretty much up to date as far as what’s been going on here. LSU has been 3:40 3 minutes, 40 seconds bringing in professional players. Uh Dayquin Wright, Xaven Harris, these were two guys that were on NFL uh rosters um 3:50 3 minutes, 50 seconds just earlier this month and now are committed to LSU, are set to sign at LSU if they have not signed already. And 3:58 3 minutes, 58 seconds then RJ Lewis, who signed two contracts with NBA teams, 4:05 4 minutes, 5 seconds he was given another year of eligibility yesterday by Judge Ron Johnson. Well, today the SEC and several and really all 4:14 4 minutes, 14 seconds the other leagues have come out with strong statements and policies regarding 4:21 4 minutes, 21 seconds professionals playing in college athletics or those athletes who were involved in American professional sports 4:29 4 minutes, 29 seconds leagues. And I’ll I’ll read what the uh policy is that the SEC, this just came out about 10 minutes ago. An SEC 4:38 4 minutes, 38 seconds institution is not permitted to have an athlete on its roster who has previously declared for the NFL, NBA, or WNBA draft 4:48 4 minutes, 48 seconds and did not appropriately withdraw. So that would be targeting RJ Lewis for sure. signed a contract with an NFL or 4:56 4 minutes, 56 seconds other professional football league, NBA GLeague, or WNBA or affiliate team that would be targeting Dayquin Wright and 5:04 5 minutes, 4 seconds Xavan Harris. Uh been listed on an NFL or other professional football league, NBA, GLLeague, or WNBA or affiliate 5:12 5 minutes, 12 seconds roster. The commissioner is authorized to enforce this expectation with penalties against member institutions. 5:21 5 minutes, 21 seconds Now, we do not know what the penalties are. Um, no response just yet from LSU. 5:27 5 minutes, 27 seconds Again, this came out minutes ago, but um, in the beginning there there is there was already a previously scheduled 5:35 5 minutes, 35 seconds meeting involving the SEC presidents and ads in Birmingham, which started today and will go into tomorrow. So Wade Roose 5:45 5 minutes, 45 seconds and Verge Osbury we presume are there or whether they’re I I got a feeling they’re at the assembly center today. 5:52 5 minutes, 52 seconds Yeah, they could be. Verge certainly could be there for sure, but they’re supposed to be there. This is pretty big meeting. Um regardless, I don’t know if fellowship cares. 6:01 6 minutes, 1 second Well, okay. So that’s where we’re at at this point. So based on this, uh, RJ 6:08 6 minutes, 8 seconds Lewis, Daquin Wright, Xavon Harris, if they play, it could result in penalties for LSU. Yeah, that’s what this says. 6:18 6 minutes, 18 seconds Question. Well, first of all, before we dig into it completely, I just want to say that I have, and you do too, about 6:25 6 minutes, 25 seconds 20 pages of single page spaced notes here that we were going to use as reference as we discuss this 6:33 6 minutes, 33 seconds labyrinthal, detailed, sophisticated, complex, emotional 6:41 6 minutes, 41 seconds subject. And just like John Steinbeck said in 1937, the 6:48 6 minutes, 48 seconds bestlaid plans of mice and men often go ary. Well, we are having to play this off the cuff because as you said 10 6:55 6 minutes, 55 seconds minutes ago, the SEC basically said it ain’t happening. What’s not happening? 7:03 7 minutes, 3 seconds They’re basically saying the temporary restraining orders, the TTRO’s that were issued by the 19th Judicial District Court in Baton Rouge, freeing up 16 7:12 7 minutes, 12 seconds players, the session that took place in the same courtrooms in Baton Rouge yesterday for R.J. Lewis. None of those 7:20 7 minutes, 20 seconds matter to the SEC is what they’re saying here. They’re saying if you played pro 7:28 7 minutes, 28 seconds sports at any level in America in America at any level for any length of time 7:35 7 minutes, 35 seconds whether you actually participated in competition or it was just practice if you were compensated if you were 7:41 7 minutes, 41 seconds contracted at any level you cannot play and be on a roster right now. So that 7:49 7 minutes, 49 seconds eliminates, as you said, all three of those players, the two football players, u as well as Lewis from the basketball 7:57 7 minutes, 57 seconds team. My question is, my question is, what authority does the SEC have? 8:06 8 minutes, 6 seconds What can they really do? Because what this this whole question is, they’re just a conference. They’re 8:15 8 minutes, 15 seconds not a league. They don’t have real authority. And that’s why they’re in this situation to begin with. And that’s why for the last five years and 8:23 8 minutes, 23 seconds certainly for the last two years, the state courts have been deciding the rules for the powerless uh castrated NCAA. 8:34 8 minutes, 34 seconds And now the Big 10, the SEC, think that they don’t like the way this feels. They don’t like the way it tastes. They don’t like the way it smells. And I I’m with 8:43 8 minutes, 43 seconds them. I I don’t like it either. But there are cases to be made that the certain players 8:51 8 minutes, 51 seconds made decisions because things were yanked out from under them in terms of rules, rule changes, opportunities, 9:00 9 minutes and those have only one place to be questioned and answered, and that is the courtroom. 9:09 9 minutes, 9 seconds All right, Case has got something for us. 9:11 9 minutes, 11 seconds Well, Todd, you you said it yourself right there. Authority is the name here and Ross Dellinger with Yahoo Sport Sports is reporting that the SEC 9:18 9 minutes, 18 seconds presidents granted Commissioner Greg Seni full and unlimited authority which includes suspending a school from competition uh if they violate these 9:27 9 minutes, 27 seconds rules. Now again that’s coming down to the the SEC self-governing which is what’s been considered here for apparently years now as Greg Zeni said 9:36 9 minutes, 36 seconds at SEC media days and whether or not that happens we’ll we’ll have to see but that’s how it lays right now. And on Monday night, 9:45 9 minutes, 45 seconds Ross Dillinger reported the night before the SEC had this president’s meeting that the league’s leaders unanimously 9:53 9 minutes, 53 seconds unanimously. Now, I don’t know if LSU abstained from it, but unanimously 10:00 10 minutes supported opposition to professional players returning to college, even releasing a statement decrying such. 10:08 10 minutes, 8 seconds And I think that that there’s a lot of word smithing going on. So, let me ask you this. 10:13 10 minutes, 13 seconds I don’t mean to throw you off your train of thought. That’s okay. You do that all the time. 10:17 10 minutes, 17 seconds Is Wade Roose [laughter] now going to Is Wade Roose going to turn around and tell Will Wade and Lane Keifin these guys can’t play? 10:26 10 minutes, 26 seconds No, I I I don’t know. I don’t know the answer. I can’t get in Wade Roose’s head and and determine what he or Virgin or is LSU going to go rogue? I think 10:34 10 minutes, 34 seconds that what LSU is going to do, I think the biggest hint, and case I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on this, too. But I think the biggest hint as to LSU, how LSU is going to react, is they’re going to let this play out. 10:46 10 minutes, 46 seconds They’re going to let the laws, the rules dictate what they do. Now, what what this seems to me like, and what what I 10:55 10 minutes, 55 seconds mean by that, first of all, I’m jumping ahead, thinking too fast. 11:00 11 minutes If if 10 days from now there’s another court case, another court situation, another court hearing 11:09 11 minutes, 9 seconds and the NCAA loses, the SEC has no authority over state law. 11:15 11 minutes, 15 seconds All right? If that occurs in a state or an appellet court somewhere that is a district with multiple states and multiple jurisdictions in it, that 11:22 11 minutes, 22 seconds carries a hell of a lot more weight than what the SEC or the Big 10 or even if the NCAA were to say something. And we’ve learned that. 11:30 11 minutes, 30 seconds So I think LSU is just going to wait. I think Lane Keifin indicated that yesterday. We’re just going to play it by the rule. Whatever happens, then what’s the point of having 11:39 11 minutes, 39 seconds conferences if they can’t instant? So you’re telling me the SEC I’m I’m going to pick out a a simple rule. Uh if you 11:47 11 minutes, 47 seconds rush the field after a game, what schools get fined? $250,000, $500,000, whatever the number is. You’re telling me the schools don’t have to pay that by 11:56 11 minutes, 56 seconds law? If I if if if you if you I’m trying to think of a good analogy here, but a personalized one. If you were 12:04 12 minutes, 4 seconds invoiced, if I invoiced you, sent you a bill for services rendered, whether it was a penalty or services rendered, 12:12 12 minutes, 12 seconds whatever, for $100, okay? And then you took me to small claims court and you 12:19 12 minutes, 19 seconds won the case, I wouldn’t have to you wouldn’t have to pay me. 12:23 12 minutes, 23 seconds Okay? So you so schools all this time when they were f I’m just taking this particular rule because it’s on the top of my head. All these time when LSU 12:32 12 minutes, 32 seconds rushed the field against Miss and beat them in 2024, they could have sued the SEC and said we’re not paying. 12:37 12 minutes, 37 seconds They could have. You got a quarterback who’s starting for Old Miss this year who was told by the NCAA and that under no circumstances was he allowed to play. 12:49 12 minutes, 49 seconds His eligibility was up and finished. 12:51 12 minutes, 51 seconds went into a courtroom about the size of this room, a little bit larger in Mississippi and a favorable judge gave 12:58 12 minutes, 58 seconds him a ruling and he’s the starting quarterback for a top 10 college football team right now. The situation is different. 13:05 13 minutes, 5 seconds I would say that it’s not different at that level. 13:08 13 minutes, 8 seconds I say it’s different in the fact that we’re talking about pro entering pro. 13:13 13 minutes, 13 seconds you have when when you make the decision to decide that I am going to play for a professional team. That’s it. 13:25 13 minutes, 25 seconds You’re done. You’re you’re college that that is the that is the core that’s one of the core principles of being a 13:33 13 minutes, 33 seconds college athlete is someone that has not played in a professional league. 13:37 13 minutes, 37 seconds Jeeoff, I agree with you. Okay. And and this is what’s weird. Okay. This is what’s hard to understand. I agree with 13:44 13 minutes, 44 seconds you. The difference is for the those players, whether they’re basketball and now the Lewis situation is a little different 13:52 13 minutes, 52 seconds and we can talk about that in greater detail or different detail later, but let’s just focus on the three football players for LSU or the two because the 14:00 14 minutes two that one played for the Saints and one that played for the Browns and whoever else he played for. All right. 14:05 14 minutes, 5 seconds in preseason. They were told prior to June 23rd of this past year that their 14:14 14 minutes, 14 seconds eligibility was up. The doors were, as well, I said my column doors were locked behind them. They did not have an option 14:21 14 minutes, 21 seconds to to return for a fifth year of eligibility. Then on June 23rd, the NCAA changed that rule. 14:31 14 minutes, 31 seconds Not for them. 14:32 14 minutes, 32 seconds Not for them. for that date moving forward. Right. Right. But just because they went pro. 14:41 14 minutes, 41 seconds All right. Because they had the opportunity to do so. All right. Versus another person in their same 2022 14:49 14 minutes, 49 seconds starting class that didn’t have that opportunity. Now they will be treated differently as evidenced right here in 14:56 14 minutes, 56 seconds these words. It doesn’t say anything about the guy who left his eligibility and went and got an accounting job somewhere or went and became a bank 15:04 15 minutes, 4 seconds teller or went and started his engineering career. 15:08 15 minutes, 8 seconds Now they want to come back. They can come back. They have a clearer path to come back under the TTRO and they will their 15:16 15 minutes, 16 seconds school will not be fined. That is a problem. Okay, that discrepancy may seem small right now, but that is a problem 15:25 15 minutes, 25 seconds mainly because you’re depriving those individuals not of an amateur opportunity to play 15:33 15 minutes, 33 seconds football in Tiger Stadium or or uh the Grove at Oxford or wherever. You’re 15:40 15 minutes, 40 seconds depriving them of literally potentially hundreds of thousands if not millions. 15:46 15 minutes, 46 seconds Sam Levit is supposedly making $6 million this year to be the quarterback for LSU. 15:54 15 minutes, 54 seconds That is generational money. 15:57 15 minutes, 57 seconds And and you cannot That is the definition of antirust. It’s a violation. It’s a It’s a problem. All 16:04 16 minutes, 4 seconds right. And And we may not like it. We may not like the way it feels. We may agree that if you go pro under whatever, life’s tough like you say. I agree with 16:12 16 minutes, 12 seconds all that. But the bottom line is they have a question, they want it answered, they go to a judge like they’re supposed to, and regardless of how we feel about 16:20 16 minutes, 20 seconds the favoritism of local judges, the judges grant them the authority to continue their career. And the NCAA is 16:30 16 minutes, 30 seconds paralyzed. And there’s no difference between that and what happened with Trinidad Chamblas. Yeah, there is. They turned pro. No, there’s none. 16:37 16 minutes, 37 seconds They’re pro. They’re professionals. They were professionals. and Trinidad Chamblas and and when they when they signed their their scholarship in class 16:45 16 minutes, 45 seconds of 2022, they knew they had four years and that’s their four years. Goodbye. See you later. 16:51 16 minutes, 51 seconds That’s a detail. That’s not the principle. Oh. Oh. So, let’s just ignore details. 16:56 16 minutes, 56 seconds No, I’m No, I’m not saying that. I told you I agree. No, I told you I agree with you. 17:01 17 minutes, 1 second I agree with you. That But they don’t agree. 17:05 17 minutes, 5 seconds I I don’t think it’s the same as Trinidad Chamblas. And I don’t think Chambble should be eligible either. I’m I’m I’m 17:12 17 minutes, 12 seconds talking about and and the the topic of the conversation is professionals. 17:16 17 minutes, 16 seconds You know how you know how it’s different? One’s an apple, another’s an orange. They’re both fruits. Okay? It’s the same situation here. We’re talking about college athletes that are 17:24 17 minutes, 24 seconds compensated and we’re talking about a a a league. This doesn’t happen in in the NFL. It doesn’t happen in Major League 17:32 17 minutes, 32 seconds Baseball. It doesn’t happen where there’s authority. Okay? The SEC is acting like it has authority here and it 17:40 17 minutes, 40 seconds is it is touting authority from the presidents and the reality of it is is it’s only an authority to the level that you accept it. If you have a question 17:49 17 minutes, 49 seconds about it and the state of Louisiana contradicts it in the judicial system, guess who wins? 17:54 17 minutes, 54 seconds The state of Louisiana. Because there is no league that has control. And what are 18:03 18 minutes, 3 seconds what are the what are they all scared of all the time? They’re all scared of antirust. 18:10 18 minutes, 10 seconds All right. And that that that that’s huge because that’s what they’re violating potentially here. Now, I could be wrong. 18:18 18 minutes, 18 seconds All right. We got to take our first break. Uh I don’t want I didn’t mean to end it where you said you were wrong, but No. Well, I could be wrong in the sense that that the judges or the court could 18:27 18 minutes, 27 seconds side for the NCAA or for the SEC or whatever, but there’s still that opportunity. All right, let’s take our first break. 18:34 18 minutes, 34 seconds We’ll be back. More of Tiger Rag Radio when we come back. 18:37 18 minutes, 37 seconds I’m Richard Font, president of the Louisiana Farm Bureau [music] Federation. My brother and I grow rice, soybeans, and raised crawfish on our farm in Evangeline Parish. For a fourth 18:45 18 minutes, 45 seconds [music] generation farmer like myself, Louisiana Farm Bureau is as much a part of my life as checking [music] traps or harvesting rice. Our organization is 18:53 18 minutes, 53 seconds more than 145,000 members strong and [music] we’ve been around for more than 100 years. The Louisiana Farm Bureau spans generations and we want you to join our family. 19:02 19 minutes, 2 seconds Visit lafarmbureau.org. The Louisiana Farm Bureau Federation, the voice of Louisiana agriculture and we’re back with Tiger Rag Radio. 19:12 19 minutes, 12 seconds Jeff Polarmo along with the executive editor for Tiger Rag Magazine, Todd Horn, as we’re reacting to the big announcement made by SEC Commissioner 19:19 19 minutes, 19 seconds Greg Sanki. And in case you’re just joining us, it says that uh if you are an athlete that previously declared for 19:26 19 minutes, 26 seconds the NFL, NBA, or WNBA draft, it did not appropriate withdrawal. You’re not eligible to play. If you signed a 19:33 19 minutes, 33 seconds contract with an NFL team or NBA GLeague team or a WNBA team, you’re not allowed to play or been listed on an NFL roster, 19:42 19 minutes, 42 seconds NBA GLeague roster. So that would mean for LSU’s perspective that Daquin Wright and Xavian Harris, two players believed 19:50 19 minutes, 50 seconds to be uh soon to be added to LSU’s roster officially, would not be allowed to play under this new policy. And the 19:56 19 minutes, 56 seconds same for RJ Lewis, who just won a recent court injunction, giving him another year of eligibility. Uh Todd, me and you 20:03 20 minutes, 3 seconds could probably go around and around in circles. I I I think the biggest question that could be asked here, and we only got two minutes before we hit the next break, and I asked it to you 20:11 20 minutes, 11 seconds before, but now that we know the vote, the vote was, at least according to multiple reporters that are in the know, including Pete Tamill at ESPN, the vote 20:20 20 minutes, 20 seconds was 16 to nothing. The president’s backing this new policy. So, I’m going to ask the question again. 20:28 20 minutes, 28 seconds What does Wade Roose do? How could you vote for this policy and then tell Lane Keifin and Will Wade, go ahead, keep 20:36 20 minutes, 36 seconds playing right and Harris? Will RJ Lewis is going to be your shooting guard this year. Go ahead, just do it. I 20:44 20 minutes, 44 seconds I think that the the answer to that question is what I said earlier is that it will depend on what the climate is on 20:53 20 minutes, 53 seconds that particular day with who has the authority. right now. Wait, it’s just a bat. 21:00 21 minutes You can’t you keep interrupting. 21:02 21 minutes, 2 seconds We got a minute here and we don’t have a what I want to say. How bad of a look is that if you vote for this policy and then you let your two head coaches allow 21:11 21 minutes, 11 seconds these players to play. How bad does that look? 21:14 21 minutes, 14 seconds It may look horrible, but it’s also following the rule. But the rule is the SEC. 21:19 21 minutes, 19 seconds That’s the SEC rule. And the SEC rule may be in contradiction to the latest court ruling. And the latest ruling. 21:30 21 minutes, 30 seconds The latest court ruling is always going to hold more until the law is in place. 21:36 21 minutes, 36 seconds There is no law right now. That’s the biggest problem. There is no law. The SEC is not a government. I understand that. The SEC is a conference. 21:45 21 minutes, 45 seconds But it just looks horrible. I didn’t say it doesn’t look horrible. And I didn’t say I like it. 21:50 21 minutes, 50 seconds I never did say that you liked it. We’ll be back after this.
