If it’s one thing Louisiana does right it’s lawsuits

Every SEC school has sold million$ in ticket sales, vendor contracts rely on the income, their employees do, too. TV contract counts on those games being played, too. It wouldn't be just LSU fans and players that are affected.

Probably depends on if there is cause for the expulsion of LSU.

If LSU is found to be at fault and this fault leads to cause, then the lawsuits by the players, vendors, ticket holders, etc. are against LSU and not the SEC. And that is very bad for LSU.

If LSU is not at fault leading to an arbitrary decision by the SEC, then the lawsuits are against the SEC.

I don’t think the vote is successful if the Thursday meeting happens, but who sues who if LSU is out is an interesting topic.

And LSU will have the Sherman Act against the SEC. So much litigation. The lawyers are salivating.

That would be if they equally applied their own rules.

The SEC bylaws will be their own downfall.

THIS. Once Saturday happened the bama powers are dead set on not letting the future take place. They’d rather burn it all to the ground. Even Pawl said live on his show Bama is in deep trouble financially being able to compete in the NIL era. He even stated Auburn is in better shape than they are. Bama knows what’s coming in what they can see and what they know behind the scenes and here we are the next week. A idiot making the best conference in the country look like a bunch of backwood retards. Sankey should be ousted Thursday if anything at all happened that should. Even Bama can’t be this blind to the look it’s giving the entire conference. The big10 is LOVING this shite and I gurantee a call to LSU has already been made by them and the ACC. I’d put money on it.

Exactly everyone that has is coming to town would be affected by it. Ole Miss being titty babies and not wanting to play us, fricks Oxford over. Also puts the sec at risk with its media deal.

Also if you kick LSU out for essentially doing nothing you aren’t getting an equal value school to replace them. You would have to get a smaller one and that would immediately piss off espn and it would lead to the sec not being worth near as much.

If the sec was smart, now that we added the players and filled our roster, drop this and let’s all move on.

Hoteliers would get fricked. Lotsa' businesses. Tent rental and setup companies would lose out on revenue. Tow truck operators would lose out in Baton Rouge, for sure.

I think ABC and ESPN are quietly behind Skanky.

They want LSU and our administration to heel. I believe this is more political than just Skanky getting butthurt.

I understand the sentiment but the old system was terrible.

When we were students we were free to transfer every semester, free to accept gifts, free to have outside income, and free to have meals with professionals in our intended field.

If you played a sport you lost all of those rights.

Not sure the league has any privity with the individual athletes sufficient to provide the bases of suits.

LSU brought this on the teams and fans. No one else did it. LSU did it.

You only need privity if it’s a contract claim. Plenty of other potential causes of action that aren’t contract related.

They don't know who they are messing with. Murrill will kick their arse in court.
