It’s unreal they are targeting LSU.


LSU football only. Not soccer.

Alabama complaint names LSU, President Wade Rousse, AD Verge Ausberry, and Lane Kiffin. That’s the football hunt. Soccer coach isn’t on it.

Jocelyn Ollivierre (No. 15) and Jazmin Ferguson (No. 44) are on the official 2026 LSU soccer roster as fifth-year seniors. They checked into Sunday’s match against Arizona in the 21st minute. First SEC athletes to actually play under the Louisiana court order.

But the SEC’s governance doesn’t extend beyond Kiffin for some reason.

SEC needs to stop making rules after the players were already in the fricking building. THAT is the imbalance created. It closed the door for other schools.

Jeff Landry has a big part in this.
He made it real clear that He’s now in control

I get the feeling that if the SEC were to kick LSU out of the SEC; they would then get absolutely raw dogged by ESPN/ABC for damages related to the SEC/ESPN media contract.

They did have a 15-0 vote…..after it already happened.

This looks like a retaliation against Kiffin because that’s exactly what it is.

Going to be very interesting if the players are ruled eligible today and other teams take these players, what does the SEC do? Going to sue every team that takes one?

The rule only applies to the NFL, NBA and WNBA drafts. I haven't read the AL Complaint, but it appears the SEC is asking for a declaratory judgment that LSU, Kiffin, Rouse broke the rule by recruiting "pro players"...even though the rule was not implemented until AFTER the TRO was entered. Presumably, the SEC will argue about LSU's post rule conduct. That said, I'm betting other SEC schools "recruited" some of the players affected by the TRO.

30,000 foot view. The SEC knows the court will rule in the players favor today and, from all indications, LSU plans to have them on the roster Saturday. The SEC knows enforcement of the rule over a court order may be a tough argument, so they are trying to intimidate LSU into not rostering the players on their own volition.

I could be wrong, but I don't think this LSU administration is going to piss its pants like the prior admin would.

Game on!

Why is LSU football and Kiffin being targeted?

LSU is not even involved in this local case.
