I guess we’ll see. I think they would jump at the chance to add any of the SEC schools. If AAU were the only thing they cared about then they would have added Stanford back when they expanded over Oregon.

The Big10 and AAU also have no formal relationship. Notre Dame JUST got into the AAU. You’re telling me with a straight face the Big 10 would have denied them because they weren’t an AAU member?

I never said they did.

The Big10 is full of pompous douches and the AAU matters to them.

LSU is basically the prototype of the type of school they look down on.

Tell me again how much Revenue Sankey brings to the SEC. Take away is 5 million salary and private jet. I am not positive, but I bet LSU Clemson was the most watched and talked about game over the weekend.

I think you’re overblowing this tremendously. AAU isn’t even a gauge of academic success and is more about research

That’ll get thrown out with swiftness

You’re telling me with a straight face the Big 10 would have denied Notre Dame over the last 30 years because they weren’t an AAU member? They just became a member a couple of years ago…

they amended the filing to say that they are totally not suing "LSU"; they're just suing Rousse, Verge, Kiffin, and Lee Mallett.


They also added Murrill to the amended lawsuit.

ESPN has contractual rights to LSU (because they are in the SEC). If SEC votes LSU out of SEC, ESPN will have something to say overall potential revenue loss.

LSU would then be an independent and would have TV contracts lined up (similar to Notre Dame) etc.,

This really isn't as bad as I thought it would be for LSU.

If I'm LSU, I become an independent and lock up the biggest TV contract in history and schedule cupcakes like ND and walk to the playoff every year.


THIS and do it now.

The SEC clearly wants LSU out. The SEC WILL start rigging the games against LSU AGAIN. (See Will Wade's last season).

Just leave now and go make more money that you won't have to split with anyone else. Frick these Bama based clowns.

Again, once Nebraska gets back in EVERY school will be an AAU school.

You think that's by random chance?

This isn't me talking. You can google this. It's a big deal to them.

Are we witnessing the start of the collapse of the NCAA, SEC, and other conferences?

A new super conference run by tv executives that invite teams that are technically independent with individual tv contracts per team, etc.

Wouldn’t it be a brilliant long play by Kiffin to possibly use this to force the SEC to make Trinidad Chambless ineligible? The route that made Chambless eligible is no different than the route that these two players took. They were both determined to be eligible by a courtroom. LSU could countersue the SEC for discrimination. Several other member institutions have arrested players who won court cases in a similar way, and yet they are not being threatened. LSU did not even roster the players unlike Ole Miss Texas, Arkansas, Kentucky, and South Carolina.

What we have here is a SEC Commissioner throwing a tantrum on the playground and the teachers are all over having coffee.

Somebody behind the scenes is pulling the strings.

Bama or Georgia would be my guess.

That scumbag FINEBAUM is their patsy.

Time to go on offense LSU and get your own Lawsuits coming from Everywhere. Sue every other SEC school for collusion in Anti Trust.

Blow the whole damn conference up.

So an injunction was initially filed that made Wright and Harris eligible. We recruited and landed them. The SEC creates a rule after that which makes Wright and Harris ineligible (according to them). They threaten sanctions if we roster them. We don't roster them. That's about right, correct? What possible grounds do they have to expel LSU?

The SEC says we recruited them(NFL Players) to sue the SEC. The problem I see with that is we recruited them and they joined us with a suit already against the NCAA, IIRC. Then the SEC came out with its ruling and then the players enjoined the SEC into their lawsuit against the NCAA. At that point they were technically LSU signees. I don’t know if that helps or hurts LSU but either way it doesn’t line up with the SECs claim.

Notre Dame can snap a finger and get into the AAU to facilitate that. Nebraska has to do more, but is literally doing this right now. Notre Dame would do the same

LSU has no realistic path right now to get into the AAU. It would probably take a 10-20 year plan.

Maybe, because if Sankey and the SEC continue down this path the players have a real possible Anti-trust and collusion lawsuit possibility.
