LSU will not get voted out. Sankey/SEC is sending a message and establishing framework

This is all retarded what they are doing but it makes sense

In my opinion...

There is ZERO chance LSU is voted out Thursday. Especially while there is much legal uncertainty about players rights and the SEC Federal lawsuit.

Sankey/SEC is laying an escalation framework right now to show they can do it in the future (if they so decide they need to). 1. They've already announced the punishments the SEC can deliver (suspensions etc) and 2. now adding the final step of expulsion. (AGAIN IF THEY NEED IT)

This also gives them a very convenient escalation off ramp in the immediate future while the court cases play themselves out. I.E. After Thursday they come out and say SEC members voted to keep LSU in the conference but "have serious concerns with LSU" if they don't shape up while the legal battle plays out.

They are sending a message and establishing a framework.

why do you need to vote to expel LSU to establish the framework?

I agree… and it’s unfortunate they couldn’t do their job from the beginning and establish framework for the class of 2022 from the get go. Pathetic bunch of teet sucking leeches.

So sick of seeing this. Its already been reported by sources like Finebaum, and you can downvote me into oblivion, but hes repeatedly said this would happen and its happening.

The vote will be 15 - 0 in favor of expelling LSU.

If there is actually a vote, then it’s to absolutely kick LSU out. We are on path to a head on collision.

They are showing they CAN if they want to. Not that they will do it. But they have the option. The amended federal lawsuit also gives them more backing if approved that they have the right to expel LSU. Again this is all posturing to show what they CAN do if LSU and Kiffin don't play nice.

What if the members view this insanity and realize they would not want to face such absurd and arbitrary vindictiveness and all vote no? More egg on Sankey's face? I find the SEC's claims borderline crank/unhinged. They were pissed that LSU exploited a loophole and tried to pass an ex post facto rule that banned "pro athletes" without realizing they had no working definition of "pro athlete". It is truly hilarious.

Nit trying to be a jerk, but that doesn’t answer his question.

I’m thinking Sankey will eventually lose his job over this. The way he has represented the conference is a disgrace to the members.

But what does this mean? Not making comments?

What are they voting on?

They called a vote. They are voting on something. And the press says whether or not to expel LSU.

There is zero point in holding a vote if all they are trying to do is establish framework that allows them to kick LSU out.

I find it highly unlikely Sankey did this without consulting other SEC members.

Good. I welcome that honestly.

Letting Texas 8&4 and Missouri in was the beginning of the end of this once proud conference.

I dont give a shite one way or the other. If they are stupid enough to vote LSU out, good. Get out of that abusive relationship. Because that is what it is at this point.
