re: SEC Suing LSU & Kiffin Directly For “Deliberately Recruiting Pro Athletes”

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.

This is absolute insanity lol. I'd love to know the rule that's against recruiting pro players.

Lets Geaux, LSU should fight it, forget the SEC

Yea there isn’t an equal media property the sec could get to replace us.

LSU and Kiffin should sue the SEC and Stanky.... slander, conspiring to remove LSU from the conference, etc.

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?
Posted on 9/3/26 at 1:50 pm to iPad
They suing every school recruting these players involved with the TRO's? Or just LSU?

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!

This shite is so fun. I love this site.

Why is LSU football and Kiffin being targeted?
LSU is not even involved in this local case.

We should counter sue them for filing a frivolous lawsuit.
The problem the SEC is having now stems from legitimate lawsuits filed by the affected players, not by anything LSU did. LSU has no business in this litigation.
ETA
Forget this
The league forum shopped this to their favorite court in Alabama.

I don't see how this holds up in court unless they have some type of proof. If they're going off the Brown's coach comment he walked his comments back. Curious to see what legs they have to stand on because unless they have direct proof this is getting thrown out.

LSU should countersue the SEC for being singled out.
Posted on 9/3/26 at 2:26 pm to iPad
From a legal standpoint, the SEC will have to first prove how they were harmed, which they can't. There is certainly an argument that the SEC has benefited from this. This suit would have a better chance of it were brought by an SEC member school.
