ESPN is playing a pretty long hit piece about every negative allegation. From Les Myles, Drake Davis, Guice, And Will Wade. Saying there is a clear lack of institutional control. Even though these allegations have not been substantiated.

This is an obvious public opinion attack against LSU. Bet Nick Saban is loving it. Wouldn’t be surprised if he pulled a few strings to get them to talk about it.

ESPN might be worse than CNN. Stop giving them clicks and watching.

Who cares? If LSU would’ve handled things correctly we wouldn’t be in this position.

Put a set of rules in place. Follow them.

Pretty simple.

It’s the biggest sports network and football fans, recruits and their parents watch it. The NFL draft is going on. The timing isn’t accidental. Someone wants LSU to be sanctioned pretty hard.

Drake Davis was kicked off the team for what he did. ESPN left that out and acted like nothing happened. The other allegations haven’t been substantiated and they likely never will. So what was LSU supposed to do,? Not let their best player play in a bowl game because an old lady said he talked nasty to her without any proof??? Suspend players as soon as a allegation is made without giving them due process??

Yeah I watched and it was just that—a hit piece.

“Clearly Evident” that LSU is incapable. These cases are still open and nothing has proven LSU’s complete role in the Title 9 stuff. How is the school clearly evident wrong? Shouldn’t we let the case go on before we strap them down in the electric chair?

Get a few crystal balls on kids in the transfer portal and like clockwork the hit pieces flow. No one didn’t see this coming.

They also said WW is on tape mentioning payments to players. We’ve all heard that tape a million times. No payment was ever mentioned. As far as I’m concerned a damn strong offer is a good scholarship to the hometown school, a room with a view, banana strawberry smoothies, and a starting position. Prove it otherwise. If you can’t then GTFOH.

But they still come to Baton Rouge every fall, and suck our arse. So who cares what ESPN/YAHOO/CBS/SECN says?

Exactly. The timing of this during the draft, before anything had been substantiated isn’t accidental. ESPN declared that LSU officials are clearly incapable of institutional control.

So why is ESPN pushing this narrative? Who benefits?

Why some of you think Saban hates LSU is interesting to me.

The University did nothing to expect that kind of hate from him. I mean, HE left US.

Does he want to beat LSU every year, of course...like he wants to beat every other team, but I just don't see Saban "pulling strings" at ESPN to get something like this done. The dude is too busy with focusing on his own shite, rather than ours. And if you don't see that, then you haven't been paying attention to Saban over the years.

Don’t we have all new officials?

LSU got rid of all the people who were “ooc”.

Suck it ESPN

He wants to eliminate competition. He uses negative recruiting. Sanctions and the threat of sanctions are great selling points to convince a kid to not go to LSU. Saban is loving it. He will keep it alive. And I would bet my paycheck he will bring it up to recruits.

I couldn't yell you the last time I watched ESPN for something other than live game coverage. Try doing that.
