MS AG Lynn Fitch weighs in.

[patdog]

I have no idea what she’s even talking about. State & UMiss aren’t even involved in this.


College athletics is for college players. Period.

The University of Mississippi and Mississippi State University run two of the very best football programs in the country. I support their right to do what is necessary to protect the integrity of their programs and the integrity of the sport. I support their right to promote the best interests of their student-athletes. As Mississippi’s Chief Legal Officer, I stand with Ole Miss and Mississippi State.

 

[Dawgzilla2]

She is standing up for the players' right to not have to compete against a couple of guys who weren't good enough to make an NFL roster.

 

[8dog]

Im gonna guess that Greg Sankey asked Keenum and Boyles to nudge her in the direction of a press release.

 

[Drebin]

Her position would be different if Kiffin were still at Ole Miss and trying to get them eligible there. Boyles too.

They don't have a problem with Ole Miss playing an ineligible player at QB and using lawfare to do it.

What she’s saying is , I’m running for Governor and I want your vote no matter which school you support but I reserve the right to change my mind at a later time and will then deny what I didn’t say previously.

Possibly, but it's also basically campaign season. She may just think this statement is good politics. We probably have (or had; not sure if Sylva and Manning are still considering MSU as an option this seas) more to gain from allowing class of 2022 athletes to play this season than LSU, just because Sylva is at such a position of need for us.

 

[Msdeltareb]

Political posturing by yet another empty suit.

We need to quit letting women speak about football *

Everybody with an SEC school is involved in this.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

The AGs of Georgia, Alabama, & Arkansas have released similar statements.

Shad is busy drafting one also. He is just trying to figure out how to contradict Lynn without pissing off the fanbases of both MSU & Ole Miss.

We absolutely are involved in this.

Exactly. She hasn’t said anything that means anything. Just political pandering.

Southern Miss is ignored yet again.**

[She Mate Me]

My hatred of politicians grows stronger and stronger as the years pass. Like a fine wine.

I’d hit it…

"I have no idea what this is really about but I'm told it is in my political interest to say something positive about our universities in this matter as it has the attention of the voting public."

She is being anti LSU because she is a Reb.

If she loses by 9 votes she’s going to regret that.

 

[Duke Humphrey]

The overall argument is that each institution is allowed to join a club, of which you agree to their rules, policies and by-laws. And if you dont, that club has the ability to punish or remove you.

The reason she and the other states' AGs have weighed in is for exhibits in the federal case showing the member institutions have the legal backing from their state's top legal officer.

Yes, we are very much involved in this, and yes, this is part political/PR and legal campaign

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

It is almost a statistical improbability that all 10 of them are registered & vote in the primary!
