AG Murril take away on Sankey.

The SEC has not proven wrongdoing. It has filed a federal lawsuit filled with allegations, hoping the size of the courtroom scares LSU into surrendering before those allegations are ever tested.
Let’s call this what it is: a massive escalation designed to intimidate. If LSU folds because the SEC filed in federal court, then the tactic worked.
But surrender would not end this fight. Athletes who are directly denied eligibility can still bring their own legal challenges. The SEC may pressure one university, but it cannot prevent every affected athlete from walking into court.
A federal filing is not a federal victory. It is paperwork wearing shoulder pads.
LSU should not confuse noise with strength.
We should seriously explore another conference or independence if it means:
- more autonomy
- get away from Sankey
- control our own TV rights
This is like the HOA going down hard.

I wonder how many votes it takes to fire Sankey. Simple majority?
Starting to think this is where this will end up. LSU is worth a lot more to the SEC than any commissioner.

Other than trying to look like they won and/or asserting their authority, there is absolutely no tangible upside for the SEC to continue this.
There are no other realistic schools out there they could add to replace LSU, its tv draw, and historical and recent success across multiple sports.
This is a lose-lose scenario in which Stankey keeps trying to find a win.

It takes 75% - 12 of the sixteen members - to remove him from his position. (As opposed to 2/3's - or eleven members - to dismiss a member from the conference. Odd how that works, huh?)
