I've been saying that all day.

Stink may get a short term victory, but in the end, he will cost the SEC billions of dollars and millions from dumb as$ Presidents from other schools.

His temper tantrums will be his downfall.

The SEC ain't going to do shite but make a big show. Sankey may be a little bitch (acts like a woman) and had his feelings hurt...he may be even stupid with all this emotion he has going...but his lawyers KNOW that LSU is in a position of power, and this won't end well for the SEC. I don't know how it is going to end well for them anyway with the players filing suits (ones they aren't allowing to play after court order).

The SEC might think they can still have the games, but it won't count as a conference game.

And, LSU wouldn't be allowed in the playoffs - but I think the players and LSU could sue the committee for that - if they are not a bubble team.

The CFP isn’t part of the SEC. If they leave LSU out, that opens up so much more litigation.

10 figures? Pretty sure they’d get at least a billion!

This is exactly why we need to go back to the student athlete format......this shite aint working!


So Alabama can go back to having us investigated every time we slip up and it gets out while they do three times worse on their end and out recruit US every year??

Nil was a godsend for LSU I don't know how people don't still see that Alabama cannot keep up that's part of what this is all about.

There can be a lot of people included in that law suit. NIL, donors, students, fans.

They can't sue if they are a "bubble team".

If LSU is expelled and the expulsion is immediate, a class action lawsuit could be brought on the SEC and its member institutions from the players.
That literally would be the least of the SEC's worries. LSU taking the SEC to a jury trial could cost the SEC up to $1B or more. That is $66M for each of the surviving institutions.

Compare that to firing Sankey.....??

The comparison is important, because obviously Sankey is personally threatened if he does not get rid of LSU. In that scenario, he is essentially a dead man walking. So this entire equation for the SEC now becomes one of LSU or Sankey.

$40m won’t even cover the players’ portion of the class action suit. It’ll be over $1 Billion.

No. They’re the official personal injury lawyers of LSU athletics. We need official class action attorneys.

You’re probably right, none of the people running the SEC, who all happen to be lawyers, considered that some players might try to sue….

I know a lot of dumb cocky lawyers who either would advise the opposite, or who will do whatever the client wants because it means more billables

From every single athlete on LSU’s campus. Every single LSU season ticket holder. Every LSU vendor. Plus the university itself. We’re talking 10 figures worth of possible damages


If the SEC continues down this path I think you are right. I think it’s already 8 figures.

Wtf are they doing?

Actually, this is such an eventual slam dunk from other standpoints, that a greedy PI firm might just be what the doctor ordered. Let LSU join the ACC. Then geaux to court in 2031 for a ~$1B SEC => LSU settlement.

Idk I'm seeing on X that it's basically an at will thing for the SEC. They don't need a rule violation and if they vote us out we don't have much recourse.

Rule 3.8.5 or some shite like that.

I've been in the bankrupt the SEC with lawsuits all day but after seeing that I'm kind of deflated.
