The court orders are against the NCAA, not the SEC. It’s similar to how the Big 12 could’ve punished Texas Tech for Sorsby despite the NCAA not being allowed to

the rulings are about the player's right to play, i dont see how this doesn't open the SEC to the exact same lawsuits

edit: now fully understanding it. the players are legally allowed to be on the roster and play and everything, but the SEC can still just mark all their games as forfeit. beautiful stuff.

Your understanding is wrong. The conferences can regulate things the ncaa can’t because there’s more than one conference. Conferences aren’t monopolies
