So if we are expelled, what happens to the rest of the games?

Are all SEC games just cancelled? Sorry if a dumb question but I have no idea.

Would LSU then have to scramble to schedule teams to fill out the year?

All forfeits

LSU goes directly into the playoffs

There’s likely some sort of runoff period. I assume the schedule for this year would stand as all other schools we play would have holes in their schedule too.

It doesn't matter, nothing is going to happen of this. It's just a waste of time and attorney fees scare tactic because Sankey has little dick syndrome.

I doubt they would take action like this against LSU mid-season.

However, this can be setting up ruling us ineligible for the SEC title game/conference championship, which would set the stage for the CFP to leave us out. THAT scenario could certainly happen.

I would imagine this year is safe and we'd have to move on in 2027

Games would be played.

People have already paid for tickets to the games so they'd be fricking every fanbase and the economy of every SEC city LSU is going to.

And ESPN sure as hell ain't letting them cancel:
- LSU/Texas
- LSU/Ole Miss
- LSU/Bama
- LSU/A&M
- LSU/TN

When all of those will be high profile games.

How does that work with the SEC doing that, which is called out in the court order that a punihsment like that cannot happen?

The point of the federal suit is to establish that can happen.

So LSU is enjoined to the suit and essentially has to roster these guys or at least not leave them off due them having signed NFL contracts, then this new suit can get LSU in trouble for following the court order?




Wouldn't LSU just be able to un-roster these dudes the moment the federal suit is won and be fine because of the court order?

I don't think that was the state court ruling. If we never roster them, then the ruling doesn't really mean anything.

This is why you don't FAFO. Nothing required LSU to engage with these players, initially.

Which is funny since the SEC wants to kick LSU out of the SEC for having not broken a rule yet that Ole Miss broke just yesterday.

ESPN would have an argument for damages if the sec moved to rule us ineligible for the title. People would be less likely to watch games they know are meaningless.

That’s my fear with this whole situation - the SEC is going to do whatever they can to impact this season for us..

The controversy and hate watching would more than make up for whatever loss may occur. Plus I doubt they'd even have standing.

We already had this scenario with FSU being left out for reasons having nothing to do with play on the field. I think they even sued and lost.
