Lane Kiffin Scandal DOOMED per Major Lawyer | Jeff Brohm is Dangerous | Ole Miss, SEC Week 1 Lines

Tom Mars — the attorney who beat the NCAA for Trinidad Chambliss — laid out why he believes the conferences beat the players in court, and it explains exactly why the SEC wrote the rule it wrote. Plus: Jeff Brohm's giant-killer résumé, and why Ole Miss has the smallest point spread of any team in the SEC in Week 1. Louisville in six days. LSU in nineteen. Steven Willis breaks down the eligibility fight from the legal mechanics up — third-party beneficiary claims, why they work against the NCAA and collapse against a conference, and why a brand-new rule with no enforcement history is nearly impossible to attack. Then the man on the other sideline: a coach who has beaten a No. 2 team on the road at two different schools, and whose one weakness cannot appear in Week 1. And finally the Week 1 SEC board, where 13 of 16 games are warm-ups and the ninth-ranked team in America is laying the shortest number in the league.
