You couldn't be more incorrect.

We didn't roster the players, we could have, other teams did. They aren't being threatened.

It is Definitely not "ALL THEY WANT". They want this great university brought to heel. They want the rest of the country to see that. They are embarrassed by thinking they have all the power and are on the wrong side. Not student athletes. They are also showing real paranoia. And if the SEC expels us for lack of institutional control, because of a halftime joke, they will have exhibited the ultimate lack of institutional control.

I think some of y’all need to grow up and consider what expulsion from the SEC would actually look like for LSU


Unless the SEC has real concrete proof that LSU and Lane did something eggregious and that the SEC is not selectively enforcing rules, then it might look like hundreds if millions of dollars for LSU.

I really think if they had something really bad on LSU, the SEC would have shown it to the school and the school would back down.

The fact that LSU hasn’t suggests the SEC really has nothing.

If they can explicitly document their definition of what a pro is, I'd be cool with LSU committing to following it, on the contingency that all other schools provide the same commitment to the same standard.

And it had better be an extremely explicit, no grey areas definition.

Written assurance from LSU that it will not add the two TRO plaintiffs to its roster and paying a fine continuing to pursue the players in violation of an SEC rule.

The SEC will push for a multi-game suspension for Kiffin for his half-time comment. LSU and the league will settle on suspending him for the game this weekend.

Blow out LA Tech with a stadium full of "FREE KIFFIN" T-shirts, and on to Oxford.

It’s like a bipolar standard of either we fall under NCAA or SEC is the supreme authority. Be consistent.


I agree with you, but even with bullshite rules being enforced against us specifically, look at that team that was out on the field Saturday night. I’m not sure we would be able to field teams like that if we’re not in the SEC. The Big Ten isn’t going to take us with our academics. Things aren’t always 100% fair but we’ve got a pretty good thing going for us here.

The amendment filed by the SEC expressly states that the Special Meeting is to consider the termination of LSU from the SEC “whether LSU renounces its intention to roster and play professional players on its football team, or not."

It’s not about the pro players.

thought that as well, but I bet LSU hasn’t agreed that they would not roster them in the future. If it’s that simple to make this go away, then do it. And honestly, if we can’t do something that simple, then we really do sort of deserve what happens.


At some point, the adults have to come to the table and say look at the NCAA change the rules too late, but they changed them before the semester started

So a judge is basically enforcing the NCAA’s own rules -unfortunately the SEC doesn’t like it- because of the timing and the optics they don’t like the fact that these players signed an NFL contract, we get it

And the rest of us don’t like the fact that Chambless was told no twice went out, got a favorable judge from his state and got himself back in the program and then the NCAA, then changes the rules to stop the next Chambless from happening in the future and no one is asking him to hang it up and say I’m sorry, (Son) but you can’t play.

They’re not willing to do that, but they’re willing to raise hell about these two players which by the way are former Ole Miss players - that can’t be ignored.

I think this is just the way the SEC is trying show relevance

Now they did do that with that stupid threat and LSU appears to be saying hey we still have two spots open. Let’s wait and see how things go on Friday before we do anything.

And they probably don’t like that

Well, you have a court order

So the SEC is stuck in a hard place

A fine and suspending kiffin, for the imaginary crime of making a joke at half time?

If we put more then .25 down in the table as we walk out the door the entire board of supervisors should be fired.

Stop using your head and use your nuts.
They aren't going to do shite, this is a intimidation move and I pray LSU dosen't even think about this.
LSU, nor Lane Kiffin filed any suite for any player pro or amateur (Sankey doesn't even know what that is" to get eligibility.
LSU has not rostered any player that is in question.
Snakey thought he could hold his own and failed miserably in court. Sankey showed himself as a fool and a coward by running out the backdoor.
LSU has every legal right to play the players. The SEC and NCAA failed to prove they're case and it it wasn't home cooking either they were just bad in court.
Now Sankey has pulled the LSU board into the Lawsuit and the state hasn't opposed the Thursday meeting according to AG Liz Muril.
Louisiana has jeff Landry friend of the President ,
The speaker of the house and the house whip its good to have people in high places.
Sankey chose bham because he probably plays golf with the judge already the only issue is tht in order for this to work that means the SECwill have to open up for discovery and that will open Pandora box.

I hope you are right. I’m not sure we have the adults in the room needed to reach that type of outcome.

Going straight to conference expulsion is an extreme initial reprimand. I expect to see some really horrible SEC officiating against LSU the rest of this season that will cost them at least 2 games. Not minor bad calls but straight up NFL style, you are not winning anything, bad calls.

If this was about the NFL players, it seems they would just tell LSU they risk for forfeiting all games and records for the season if they play. Expulsion is more in line with the other schools have always hated you and this is their ticket to get rid of you.
