Sankey is no match for John Kennedy. This bully about to get punched in the mouth. He's done and he should be. Truth be known LSU had been treated unfairly for years by the AL SEC office. Maybe one day we'll get independent SEC football refs.

Rousse, Verge, Landry and Kiffin are going to feast on this idiot's bones.

No. You never keep your mouth shut in a situation, where if someone claims ignorance it can benefit them.

They already have a little smoke with Murrell.

They don't want that smoke with Kennedy. He will finish what they started really fast.

Antitrust Exemptions about to go bye-bye


NCAA does not have an Anti=Trust exemption, that is why it keeps losing cases like O'Bannon, House and Alston.

Until Kennedy gets involved in straightening out the U.S. Senate including stepping up to be one of the 5 Republicans votes to remove Thune, Kennedy should STFU!

Sankey and the SEC’s counsel need to be mocked for what they put in their pleadings.

Thats not how you litigate. And, it’s certainly not how you litigate against someone with whom you have ongoing business.

Love senator Kennedy and what has lsu done here? Nothing wrong yet for sure. They may be liable to the 2 players for not putting them on the roster

This entire debacle of paying for playing is the result of antitrust interpretations of the courts.
Now the SEC, in their monumental display of blatant stupidity, has gone to court to stop a team under their jurisdiction to not fulfill a pay for play contract sanctioned by previous courts.
The SEC is suing themselves out of existence.

Or looks like a federal investigation may happen if LSU gets kicked out

Someone posted the facts earlier. LSU has a lot of federal ties or sympathetic ears in Congress and even this presidential admin. FBI director Kash Patel was in Louisiana today discussing law enforcement cooperation.

It would be unwise of Sankey to push this issue. The feds will get involved and it will end up with him, at the very least, unemployed and further embarrassed.

If we had PUSSIES like Alleva, Tate, and Woodterd still in charge, we WOULD be keeping our mouths shut and taking it up the arse.

I'm supremely confident with who we have running the show currently, and I have no doubt that if we end up having to leave the SEC, we can easily join a Big 12 and negotiate a sweetheart deal. They would surely be anxious to have us as a member.

We could also.possibly bring any or all of the following with us: UNC, Miami, FSU, Clemson, UVA, maybe an A&M who doesn't want to be associated with Texas.

That league could possibly get a better TV deal than the SEC without LSU. Or we could have a streaming service pay us exclusively for any home broadcasts, and we could share revenue for our road games in the Big 12. The single biggest draw in college football now and for the foreseeable future is Kiffin and LSU.

There are dozens of possibilities, and we'll figure out a good solution.

He's on a lot more than just that

Gonna be real fun when we start pulling other states funding.
