He made a joke at halftime and Sankey is super duper mad


Oh, if he made a joke at halftime, then he has to go.

The SEC cannot have coaches making jokes at halftime, not jokes that are unpleasant to the Czar LOL

Can someone explain to me if the BR judge can place Sankey in contempt?

Louisiana judge ruling prevents SEC from sanctioning LSU so they are taking this to federal court to get authority to sack LSU.

Exactly. The basis of the SEC's argument is that they should have the authority of govern it's own members. Now they are admitting that they don't have this power?

These clowns have no idea the shite storm they would kick up if they did. The entirety of the State apparatus would be against them and the Speaker of the House and House Majority Leader are LSU grads. If Greg Saggyballs couldn't hawk it on the stand in a fricking BR court room something tells me he wouldn't last 5 minutes with Washington breathing down his neck.

Not to mention if Trump decides this is a culture war battle he'd like to pick and has the Justice Department poking around the SEC.

Alll they have to do is hold a vote. Sankey doesn't have the votes I suspect.

Why would you go after that just to win.


You may be new to all of this, so let me explain it to you.

The #1 goal of all college football programs is to win. Therefore, it behooves them to hire the best coaches available in order to make that happen.

Understand it a little bit better now?

This is an interesting take

Ross is telling you the root cause issue here if you read between the lines.

A) The SEC is basically acknowledging that the Protect College Sports Act has little to no chance of passing.

Therefore,

B) The SEC is trying to insert control in a potential self governance model moving forward because the NCAA is powerless unless it gets protection from the PCSA.

But really,

C) This is the last ditch effort to protect the cash cow. The only way the SEC can continue to enrich themselves is by refusing to acknowledge the players as professionals which avoids collective bargaining.

Lastly,

D) Lane Kiffin and LSU are throwing a wrench into the already broken machine because he doesn’t care about the unjust enrichment the NCAA, SEC, and schools are profiting. Lane only cares about winning football games and because of that the SEC knows he is on the verge of toppling the already vulnerable system.

That is real reason the SEC is throwing everything at LSU hoping something will stick. The whole business is about to collapse and they know it.

Johnson and LSU Baseball are already the king of college baseball.

Kiffin is looking like he is about to turn LSU Football into the king of college football.

Wade has already shown he can turn LSU into a legit basketball program. He hasn’t even got a chance to get started.

Sankey and the SEC are scared of LSU’s athletic dominance.

I think bringing in Liz into the suit was a mistake on the SEC's part.

If we get kicked out of the SEC, chicken better do the right thing and shut down SECRant. Let them all go back to Hogballs.net or whatever message boards they were using before

Any insight or rumors about any replacement Louisiana based team? I can see back room talks with Tulane since the Green Wave was once in the SEC.

Exactly this. + a heavy fine

Yea and they want us to do this publicly. This is about optics and appearing that we're "bending the knee" to them.

Hello counselor. Would you mind providing a brief synopsis of where we are procedurally in this matter as it pertains to the pending federal suit and the possibility of expulsion for LSU? Thank you

That makes the most sense.

I hope that the SEC can establish its right to expel any school that doesn't follow its rules and commands. Then I hope the SEC can establish clear rules and commands, so that compliance with the rules and commands is not a puzzle.

SEC needs to calm down. LSU's message must be "we will follow the rules and commands, so please make them clear and unambiguous".
