Doubt it. LSU has two open roster spots. I know a lot of people are saying LSU blinked but they really are making the SEC look kinda foolish. After they blow Clemson out tonight CLK can step up to that podium and say how crazy it is to be getting sued by your conference when other teams “like the last place” are actually playing ineligible players.

LSU is in a damn good position right now.

I guarantee the SEC and the other SEC schools that were also recruiting these kids while they were in NFL camps are scrambling right now. They’re realizing this could open the door for a whole lot more players and problems than just the ones at LSU.

Meanwhile, Lane and LSU are laughing their asses off.

Did y’all see the pictures of Lane with Holly Rowe, Saban and Herbie in the Ops Building yesterday? All smiles!

Lane has these motherfrickers exactly where he wants them.

Of course not.

The goal is to establish the right to self-governance as a voluntary organization.
They are still going to fine Lane at some point or suspend him for a game.
Remember, the suit claims Lane and LSU "waged a deliberate and coordinated campaign to recruit professional athletes to play football for LSU during the 2026-27 season.

If they win the federal suit, the claim still exist and the commissioner has the authority to do what the frick he wants.

I'd say fity fity.

Look, the turd is seeing that we didn't roster them as a win.

If we win big,....he's dropping it.

Stanky will probably keep the lawsuit in play just to frighten the other SEC schools. I hope in some small way that the lane Kiffin saga will actually do college football some good. With the crazy way that Lane came to LSU combined with signing professionals and the insane money that they are paying college football players. It is obvious that some rules need to be in place in order to reduce the insanity that is college football.

After the players get an injunction and the case against LSU gets tossed, LSU absolutely should sue the SEC.

Zero? Drunk Pete was texting a Clemson player while he was in class at Clemson. The NCAA knows about it, the SEC knows about it. Wright testified under oath that Ole Miss was in contact with him and said he has proof. Which it’s Drunk Pete, so I’ll believe Wright. If anything LSU has a massive case for a counter suit. Quit being a biatch and stand up for yourself!

What are the damages, counsel? And what was the basis of your federal jurisdiction again?

I hope he keeps it. We lay low and take care business, and when he fricks up we crucify him and the SEC.

What will be hilarious is when it is shown that LSU is one of the only schools not to play a”pro” or other ineligible player and the SEC is forced through their own legal action to punish those other schools

And when it is proven in court that other SEC schools recruited the same players yet no action was taken vs them… what happens?

Are they going to fine or suspend Lane after it is proven others engaged in the same action he is getting fined/suspended for?

Not a chance.

But odds favor the federal court dropping it. In a just world, that would cost Sankey his job.

I believe that’s our winning stance that the SEC selectively enforces their rules.

This is simply another example.

I don’t think we’re done with these players, and Imdont think Lane and LSU aren’t done fighting.

They didn’t need to roster these players today, they were still ineligible due to time with team.

We changed the narrative to the SEC screwed them and the NCAA dropped the ball.
