Naw, this'll die down. LSU is founding member of the SEC and a popular brand. LSU ain't going away.

Now can we get back to playing football, please.

I think with the total freedom and latitude that the conference has in distributing punishments without having to prove any wrong doing, I think it is very likely that there is a punishment coming.
The other schools will likely be fine with it and vote for a LK punishment if it means they might be able to win.
But that would also be a big motivator for the LSU team to beat the crap out of them.
I have to wonder if LK is punished if a lawsuit would be filed against the SEC for lack of evidence and reason for wrongful punishments.

So, Person A encouraging Person B to exercise a constitutional right is a suspensible offense?

Therefore, if Lane hires a lawyer for himself to fight his suspension, they can suspend him for that?

I hope they have deep pockets for lawyers and settlement money if they decide to go down that road.

According to SEC rules, they can do just that. Not fair, but those are the rules.

Short of Lane admitting he was the mastermind of it, I don’t see how this could be proven.

What LSU fans need to understand is the longer this goes on, the chances of finding that evidence increase dramatically. We don't want that to happen.

"Some CBS article"....and that was the only / single news commentary about it. No way it dies on the vine, with no follow up, if there was anything to this allegation. CLK denied it in one brief statement & that was it.

You think Jorden would allow a penalty of any sort targeting CLK or LSU stand?

By seeing how pissed off our school is, I don’t think he serves any kind of suspension. And I think the SEC is starting to see how nuclear this shite is getting. I’d expect everything to be dropped within the next few days. I do think though also that unless Sankey is fired, we will be doing some legwork to leave this conference.
The LSU brand has been smeared by the national media. Millions of viewers and listeners now have the impression LSU is everything that's wrong with college football. I'm sure many has watched this video, but I would recommend everyone watch it from beginning to end. LINK Just the smear of threatening LSU to be kicked out of the conference has caused damage to the brand. As it stands now and everything stays as is, the impression will be that the SEC won, LSU folded. This scenario will be twice as damaging to the LSU brand.

A rule needs to be violated for penalties to be enacted. Unless sec knows something they haven’t said, I can’t see any penalties applied.

They can cite a broad “lack of institutional control” but that is extremely difficult to argue here.

Does that TRO have any bearing anymore now that the players aren't ever going to be rostered? It seems to be moot and without power now.

Why?

For a joke at halftime?

Because so far it seems he has not actually broken any rules.

Preliminary injunction.

You mean since the SEC engaged in exactly the conduct and attained exactly the result Jorden forbade, it's over? ... and the SEC can double down? Is that the way it works

If the kids filed a frivolous lawsuit and lost, The Plaintiffs could be subject to a suit by the SEC for malicious prosecution. They didn't lose their case, however. They won.

What is being suggested is the "tort" of Conspiracy to Encourage Malicious Prosecution. If Kiffin was a Fiduciary to the kids, the only parties who could attempt to make an allegation are the kids / Plaintiffs. A former football coach is certainly not a Fiduciary and (again) the kids won their lawsuit.

Now we could most certainly raise the validity of claims of Malicious Prosecution against the SEC for the Northern Alabama Federal matter. The SEC may even have coverage under their General Liability insurance policy that would pay damages to those who can prove they were harmed by the Federal matter.

Seems to me that would be contempt of court.
