"unserious"?

We've haven't been this serious in a long time. They got used to pushing Aleva and Woodward around and don't like that we finally have some leadership with balls.

Breaking news: public university has ties to state politics. This is true for 15 of the 16 schools in the conference.

This is not a fight the SEC will win. If they want to put LSU down, they are all coming with us. Mutually assured destruction. Let’s try some diplomacy instead.

So, now the issue is "political influence"? You mean the "political influence" that didn't rear its head until after the SEC lit this fire?

Just put the goalpost on wheels and move it where you want, I guess.

They don’t feel “comfortable” with our black AD?

Holy cow. They keep throwing things up against the wall to see what sticks. And now it is undue political influence. Just laughable at this point.

I smell conference fear that LSU has collectively gotten its shite in alignment from the top down in the NIL. These clowns are being left behind and they're terrified.

When the SEC office starts to act like a serious organization instead of a bunch of high school mean girls having a hissy fit, we can see what's left to actually discuss like adults.

They're uncomfortable with having another Alabama type dominance to have to deal with. There is a reason Saban continues to talk about LSU the way he does. He knows it's a sleeping giant.

I can see why SEC would be pissed we brought in Kiffin and Wade and proceeded to support them push right up to the edge of the rules like they do.

It's not like any other SEC team has hired coaches who pushed the rules. Surely nobody would dare hire say Hugh Freeze and Bruce Pearl at the same time for FB and MBB, right? They would have to hammer them for lack of institutional control and expel/suspend/fine the shite out of a school going after known cheaters like that right?

It's not our fault we have friends in high places...just like the SEC when they filed their lawsuit against LSU in Alabama, just like Ole Miss when they filed and won their lawsuit in Mississippi to play a 6th-year QB who is ineligible according to the NCAA/SEC, etc. Don't hate the player...

Well I have a suggestion for them.....ignore the Governor. This is silliness acting like they deal with him on a day to day basis.

Being "annoying" isn't the issue. The SEC is now saying that it is "uncomfortable" with the "political influence" at LSU... but there has always been political influence for every state school in the SEC.

The leaders of LSU's athletic department report to the LSU president. He reports to the Board of Supervisors... which are all (save the student representative) appointed by the governor and are approved by the Louisiana State Senate.

The idea that college athletics has ever been devoid of political influence is patently absurd.
