I'd also hope LSU would engage talks with the Big12 and ACC.






Dumb, just dumb.

Leave the "best division is all of College Football" the SEC West.... yeah, bad idea.

Here's what's dumb: A dummy reads a post, apparently does not understand it, incorrectly restates it, then calls the original poster "dumb".

Posted this yesterday on SEC Rant. Here is my "analysis."

Standing: You would have standing as a ticket holder. My ticket says "SEC" on in it in big old letters. I bought it in reliance that there would be noncorrupt officiating.

12(b)(6): File in state court under state law. Making it nonremovable will be a breeze (for reasons already discussed). Ain't no Iqbal in Louisiana, so the initial scrutiny under our fact pleading system will be minimal.

Injunction: You are not seeking an injunction. You are seeking the splash and the discovery. Keep the claim under 50k and it is a bench trial. Louisiana has issue preclusion, and other states would have to give the findings full faith and credit. So a judge so inclined could hit the SEC with a huge lick in a small case.

I am NOT saying this is a good idea. I am saying that a shrewd plaintiffs' attorney already spending millions on TV time to build brand could make a hell of a splash for a tiny investment. And it would not be the worst idea for that attorney.

Looking for a friendly judge? Judge Jamie Bice in Lake Charles played for LSU in the late 80s. Very active in he L club. But he is probably too ethical not to recuse himself.

It would be hard to get venue in Lake Charles. You could in BR, though.

I was kidding. I don’t think a fan filing suit is a worthwhile endeavor. It isn’t going anywhere. Change will have to come from the member schools.

I know.

But why wouldn't Gordon or Spencer want to do it for the publicity?

Out you haven't heard??? All the "smart" guys with the "real" inside scoop will tell you all about how those schools are in on it too. They all get paid by the SEC to stay silent and out of Bamas way.

Some of the people on this board are total nut jobs.

I would like an investigation similar to Mueller’s. There is no rational basis for the decisions made by the SEC on the same day.

The circumstantial evidence is strong.

Elite high school recruits WANT to play in the SEC.


34 of last years top 50 recruits signed with non-SEC programs. Bama and Georgia signed the lions's share of the other 16 - because they are NC contenders, not because they are SEC programs.

"Engage in talks with the Big 12 and ACC"....

about what? "Bama's unfair advantage".

If I "misinterpreted", well, do a better job of explaining what the hell you're talking about.
