That's when you look at the alternatives, which aren't good for LSU.


Maybe, Maybe Not

But you still look

Although I hope the fractured LSU/SEC relationship can be mended, I'd hope LSU has been looking at alternatives since this started.

It can be mended as soon as Sankey is ousted.

I still don't think he survives this as I think there are a lot of athletic departments scrambling to educate their university presidents as to how much risk he's opened all of them up to.

Staying together for the kids. It’s what most of this board is already doing and after all, college football is all about the kids.

LSU either leaving or worse getting expelled from SEC is a lose-lose situation and a disastrous for both sides.


There is no way LSU can stay on in the SEC with Sankey as the comish.

That seems a little backwards. In this case, the abusive partner is the one creating the problem and threatening divorce.

LSU commits some relatively minor offense - the sort of thing that happens from time to time in any relationship. The SEC responds by bullying and threatening, dragging LSU through the press with minor issues to make them look bad, all for some power play to assert dominance over LSU AND the other member institutions (who are actually actively breaking rules LSU never broke).

And somehow LSU is the one with the “pathology”?

A vote Thursday nobody thinks will amount to anything of substance, given LSU's contrition last night.
"A vote"?

By "a vote," you mean a process undertaken to expel a founding member without cause which might fall short of the 11 votes it needs. That will be an action as irreparable as a guy seducing his best friend's wife.

This has been a theater of the absurd.

In the meantime, the SEC completely flouted Jorden's injunction. I know he's sitting back awaiting the Federal Court pronouncements, but my goodness the SEC has been contemptuous of his rulings.

It will be an utter travesty if the dickheads at SEC don't call off this vote. It's over. They need to move on. Sankey needs to go.

My wife finally quit drinking and it sucks. Now I have to be really careful when I cheat on her.

The pathology is allowing your buddies as head of a conference to play ex pros and give extra years to players on BS reasons , then penalize other schools not in the little backroom club .

100%, he stepped in it big time, and I think he has lost the ability to be objective and has shown that he will act emotionally and vindicatively. Doubt it happens, but would be nice to get someone new in there.

The better analogy would be you telling your wife you'd follow her guidance on drinking, your wife saying she'd leave you if you started drinking, you tell your wife you didn't start drinking, and your wife still wanting to divorce you.


LSU said publicly they would follow all the rules, and in the end, they did exactly that.

Exactly. Calling the President and AD cucked stooges. Dropping the SMU Death Penalty-esque "lack of institutional control", and more.

Can't walk that back. It's like the boss who makes your work life increasingly difficult until you dip; at some point, you pack your stuff and leave.

Not really the point.


Scheduling a call to vote to remove a school from your conference when no rule was broken is nonsensical.

It's even worse when there are videos from press conferences of that school saying they will follow the SEC's guidance multiple times.
