Brother I said exactly what I said. Not difficult to understand.

Are you saying SEC could hang Kiffin as long as they got a 2/3rd majority vote?

You made a bad point and I'm making you defend it. You won't be able to so then you'll have to admit it to bad point.

Expulsion is actually in the bylaws of the conference. Hanging the coach of a member is not

Because rules are not applied unilaterally or justly.

Yeah. I’ll say that

Nope, you’re taking hyperbole out of context & not engaging the point.

Which is that no amount of private authority empowers retaliation where it has been restrained by a court… nor does it empower defying a court order… nor does it protect you from lawsuits over selective enforcement.

Kiwi is acting like the fact the SEC can vote on stuff is some sort of unassailable gavel, when there is a 100% guarantee of immediate litigation if the conference votes LSU out for the reasons they have publicly indicated.

If they put it in the bylaws......maybe

But if an organization really wants to jettison one of it's members, they can find a way .....and it's legal. In this case the reality is that both sides will cool it

LSU needs to file suit and potentially, federal charges. The SEC's filing explicitly names the LSU President, each Board of Supervisors members, including the State Attorney General, then childishly (and stupidly) amended their filing with regards to Kiffin's offhanded comment at half time.

IOW, they have made it perfectly clear that their proposed actions are not based on proceedings or legal grounds but rather on being, to put it technically, butt hurt. They are seeking to cause damages to an institution for losing a legal case in the state the institution resides in and I am certain that the publicity slowly leaking out of what the SEC already has allowed is something they really don't want out there.

A law suit from LSU against the SEC (Sankey & offices and each sitting member president) should be a 'give me'; that's not even questionable at this point. Where it really gets interesting is whether or not criminal charges may or may not apply, such as collusion, racketeering, criminal intimidation in order to circumvent a legal court order, etc. If Louisiana officials want to - and I really, really hope they do - they could make this really bad for Sankey and company.

The sec schools voted for this. No one is rogue. All schools voted to block ex pro from coming back to college and 15 schools voted for the penalties. LSU abstained. The commissioner is only doing what the schools are telling him to do.

They’ve determined LSU is rogue for maximizing its potential within the rules. Sorry, there should be serious repercussions for all that collude to punish a school for following rules.

I think LSU should approach this as an act of “Collusion” and conspiracy over state lines by the SEC and some member institutions to wrongly impede LSU’s sports programs to succeed monetarily and competitively in sports.

This should not be just a civil lawsuit but actual federal criminal charges over state lines.
