I don't think LSU wants that
It really doesn’t matter what LSU wants.
It would be the players deciding whether or not to file that lawsuit. LSU has not sued anyone through all of this.

Ray Charles could see this coming.
Basically LSU wanted to follow the court's rulings but wasnt allowed by Sankey/SEC's lawsuit and threats.
Now those players are setting themselves for a huge settlement that the SEC will likely have to foot the bill soon.

eep in mind, the SEC changed the rule and strengthened the penalties AFTER the players filed the lawsuit.
But before the final ruling

LSU would have to get involved against the players, at that point.

And if I recall correctly, the soccer games were happening before football started.
ETA - does anyone know if a hearing has been scheduled in Federal Court concerning LA Attorney General’s motion to dismiss the SEC lawsuit?

LSU is done in the SEC
SEC will go after FSU Clemson or North Carolina as replacement
Seriously, do you have mental issues? shut the frick up with this stupid shite. Every day you seem to come up with new stupid statements....
The SEC isn't kicking out a founding member, Sankey will be removed before LSU removed from the SEC.

Stanky is the one who should be worried. Not LSU.

So we played a soccer player, but denied the football players? That seems pretty stupid

Doesn’t matter. The court took that into consideration and ruled the new rules do not apply to the players. They are eligible under the new rule because the league could not give an adequate explanation of why the players should be ineligible.
The SEC appealed the decision and lost.

Sankey is only doing what the other member-schools want him to do.
I don't think LSU is under any threat of expulsion due to votes by those schools, but why would Sankey be fired for doing what they want him to do?

Are the players still enrolled at LSU and practicing with the team, in the event something like this allows them to join the team for a midseason playoff run?

I understand, but how can the players allege contempt for an action undertaken prior to the final ruling that, as you said, was even taken into consideration when that ruling was being made?
If they passed the rule on September 4, that would be a much stronger argument.

You have the timelines messed up. We played the soccer players the week before the SEC presidents decided to go nuclear.

I want the presidents of tennesseee alabama and ole piss an Florida forced to the witness stand under penalty of perjury and death!

LSU being named in this helps from a PR standpoint. It kills the conspiracy narratives that Finbaum and other anti-LSU media would have peddled if the action were solely against Sankey and the league.

Looks like LSU is a defendent in this case.

That seems like proof positive that it is the SEC who doesn't care about what they pretend to care about, and we know it. And are proving it.

Players initially filed suit against the NCAA on 8/19/26.
The SEC, knowing that the players were likely to prevail, changed their eligibility rules on 8/25/26.
The players enjoined the SEC and Sankey on 8/27/26.
The ruling on 9/4/26 specifically told LSU to roster the players and also prevented the SEC from imposing any penalties on LSU for rostering the players.
The SEC then began threatening LSU with expulsion.
LSU, capitulating to pressure from the league, chose not to roster the players.
