He said UCF played a piss poor schedule and they need to look at themselves first before complaining about the playoffs.
Now everyone outside the SEC will have even more hatred towards us and that will fall on LSU.

He’s not wrong on some level. Still, the commissioner of the SEC shouldn’t be making those comments when the team and school he’s talking about is playing a charter member of the very conference you’re supposed to represent. His comments give you a little insight into how he feels about LSU.

It might be because the Butkus isn't associated with the other awards. Just like the Heisman isn't awarded at that ceremony.

They didn’t recognize it at all. Not a single mention of Devin White winning the award.

Think about it. You'll get it. It's like John, Bob, Billy and Bo putting their money up and going into a business and each one working there each day, hiring the help, then dividing up the profit at the end of the month. If you have an issue with the business then your problem is with the people who own it and run it. The employees such as Sankey are hired by LSU and work there for LSU and at he pleasure of LSU. So call LSU and complain about the way they run their business and the people they hire. Simple.
Then you complain about bias. Bias by LSU against themselves? LOL!

You might be the least informed person in the history of tiger rant.

Do you have someone you trust lie an atty? Ask him tomorrow what an association of mutual owners are? The SEC is an association of 14 equal shareholders with a common name that represents the interests of those shareholders. A voluntary association that in and of itself would not exist without those 14 equal partners.

Wrong if one partner left the SEC would still exist. Are you that dumb? It would exist with 12 or 13 or 14 with a different partner (as you put it).

But it would not be the same business association. When you say "The SEC" today you are referring to 14 schools who have merged their mutual business interests. Ever see the ad for the SEC? It features each school and "we are the SEC"....That is the association we are discussing. And it would not exist in it's current form if one of the 14 partners gave up their share. Therefore the current SEC, which is what we are speaking of would no longer exist. Maybe some other group of schools would still associate themselves as mutual partners and call themselves SEC but it would not be today's SEC.

I understood your point the first time you posted it. Everyone did. It doesn’t change the facts about their clear biases. If what you say is true, then either LSU did not advocate for Devin White or they did and do not hold as much influence as the other schools as evidenced by the lack of support for LSU’s award winning linebacker. So which is it?
Posted on 12/6/18 at 10:20 pm to dljtigers
LSU is the SEC. The SEC office is hired and given their charge by LSU and 13 partner schools. And accountable for enforcing the rules made by LSU and dividing the profits earned by LSU and the 13 others in the name of the SEC. Not some alien entity that LSU was forced to submit too. It is a marriage that LSU was a willing partner too. LSU is free to divorce it self from that mutual trust like Georgia Tech, Tulane and Swanee have and become a lower paid and less watched member of another business partnership. And travel to Iowa St, Kansas St, Texas Tech and play in front of 30K. Or go another direction and play Boston College, Wake Forest and Duke at home in front of 45K. While watching recruits go to the SEC partners they left. Not going to happen since the people who draw large salaries and watch LSU become wealthy thru the current business they own a share of are way smarter than some fans.

I didn't, nor have I ever complained about the SEC being biased against LSU. But, if you think LSU is in any way in charge of what's going on, you're crazy. Of course it is their option to leave, but the SEC office is in charge.

LSU is the SEC and the SEC is LSU. You like many others think that there is "the SEC" and then there is LSU. Nope LSU makes the rules,
Que the PP7 int no call, greedy no PI call, holding no call hurts 2016, no fumble aTm calls, etc etc. oh this gone be good.
I understand the sentiment. Im not one to initially blame refs but there is no doubt LSU gets screwed on ref calls whilst Bama gets no calls for holding etc. Let me qualify as Bama beat us fair this yr. They have excellent players and we might not win pp7 yr or 2016 but the bias is real.

Well you'e went not being a huge believer to a "clear biases". LOL! Your confusion aside. If you have a problem the best way to address it is to complain to the school which is a 1/14th share holder. Same as 13 others. Tell them you are upset at the failures they and the other 13 are responsible for. Or maybe contact all 14. While you are at it tell them you don't like the guy they have hired to lead as well. Just a suggestion. I'm out.

SEC office is LSU and reps from the 13 schools they have chosen to associate with in a mutual pact for their best interests. Again I'm out.
