If we’re being this dramatic and irrational, we’d gladly take our ratings and brand to the Big 10. I can learn to hate USC or Oregon

Sankey is a dead man walking regardless though.

That Mars attorney for Ole Miss is probably giving Ross all the legal avenues and he's eating it up like a moron. Does he not look at what he posts? What he posted in OP's post makes 0 sense. LSU would sue the SEC hard for that because it would be an easy case to make collusion was going on. He's either pushing clickbait or he's really that dumb posting what he does.

Why is this turning into an LSU thing when Texas did it too? Feels like the Astros and Redsox. We’re the Astros in this scenario.

I don’t think the presidents of the SEC schools give two craps about Ole Miss’ opinion. If it was just Ole Miss raising the stink this would be done and over with.

Not sure Big 10 would take LSU. Doesn't fit their markets unless they wanted some avenue to SEC markets. Not like LSU is a big market though. Big 12 would though and this probably would hurt LSU more than it would hurt the SEC.

Dellenter gets a lot of (well deserved) hate, but this is pretty much journalism everywhere now. It’s no longer reporting news, but instead driving clicks with unfinished or untrue stories.

Just look at WBRZ

Because the National sports media aka ESPN, Finebaum etc only talk about LSU doing it and it’s intentional. They want to use Kiffin as the fall guy. I mean who better to use than him, the current CFB villain! It’s more about him than it is LSU. ESPN knows if CFB changes and becomes more like the NFL and it will then it threatens their money and power over CFB. A 16 team playoff would mean they have to share media rights and they don’t want that. Conferences will be going away by 2030 anyway and so will the NCAA.

Yep ever since Obama put a law in place in 2012 I believe that changed how the media can present the news it’s been out of control. They’ve been given a free pass to lie and you can’t sue them over it.

MEMBER SCHOOLS: “We’re Alabama, Texas, Ole Miss, Auburn, Oklahoma, Tennessee ….. we’ve NEVER done anything to go against the bylaws of the league… we’ve NEVER broken any rules, nor have done anything to attempt to break rules…..but LSU…they’re an abomination to the SEC, because they’ve figured out a way to improve their roster, gain an advantage that we were too slow to think of or act on….”

I don’t understand why yall are hating on him for reporting this.

Did you miss all the targeted articles he did with his butt buddy, Pat Forde? He’s not objectively reporting facts here. He has an agenda.

Bottom line, how has LSU done anything illegal? Please spell it out for those of us not as smart as you.



What does any of that have to do with Dellinger's reporting what he is told?

Please, spell it out for us.

You again...yesterday you were saying LSU could get retroactive penalties....which was asinine and you were told so by everyone.


Yeah, I was mistaken on that, as I said.

Although the NCAA threatened to do just that to Indiana because a player, Louis Moore, last year played under a preliminary injunction, and his team withdrew the suit in February because it was no longer needed. But that was a different situation since the original suit was vacated, and I don't think the NCAA is going to follow through on that.

Greg Sankey definitely is against this. If you want to believe that every SEC school is against LSU then you go right and think that. 10/16 SEC schools have been confirmed reaching out to the same or players in the similar position.

The SEC saw this tactic work in the Sorsby matter. However, this is NOT the Sorsby case. There, it was universally agreed that gambling on games involving your own team was an automatic disqualifier. Something that has been the case for decades throughout many different sports.


Not to mention the bylaws for gambling had been in the Big XII rulebook since the league was created. The SEC retroactively added the bylaws for punishment of institutions of playing "professional" athletes AFTER a judge's ruling of a TRO. Not many have mentioned this aspect & such actions by the SEC & other conferences are just going to piss off the judge even more for blatantly disobeying his orders. The SEC tried to backtrack saying it would honor & obey any court rulings but by then the damage was already done. Now we have this where individual universities are colluding against the ruling & LSU. Thursday will be interesting & if I had to guess, it won't go well for the NCAA, SEC & other conferences.

If the SEC prevents these players from playing (and thus prevent them from earning money playing football), do we expect the players to then sue the SEC in an antitrust lawsuit?

If we get expelled from the conference, can we get treated as a one team conference like Notre Dame has been treated for decades?

At first yes but not in the long run. By 2030, there will be no more NCAA, no more conferences etc. CFB unfortunately will be restructured more like the NFL and teams will be divided into divisions who aren’t necessarily geographically connected. It has to be restructured because technically CFB is now a professional sport so it has to be restructured as such to adhere to the by laws that were put in place for professional sports. If not, these lawsuits will keep happening because the current NCAA rules violate players rights on state and federal levels. That’s why the players keep winning in court vs the NCAA.

Yeah the BIG 10 (that which has the same rules in place) is going to take a school that doesn’t meet the academic requirements for membership and was kicked out of its last conference for filing lawsuits against the conference to block league rules from being enforced.

They’ll be beating down the doors I’m sure

What lawsuits? LSU hasn't filed a single lawsuit against the SEC.
