Lack of institutional control you say? Wouldn't that be on Sankey? LSU wanting Pro Players, Texas signing a pro player, Alabama PLAYING a pro player...you tell me who doesn't have institutional control.

Sankey didn’t like Lane’s halftime comment.
I am sure Pat McAffee and ESPN didn’t help either.

So Sankey says it’s about following the rules he establishes as the commissioner. LSU says the rule he made was flawed because it screwed the class of 2022. Sankey refuses to address that point hoping most people won’t notice. LSU is right but most of the country won’t acknowledge it, mostly out of ignorance. Sad times!
This right here. Needs a bookmark lol

The problem is the NCAA and the SEC still want to punish LSU even though they decided not to play those players!

I completely agree. What loss of control?

There's no way in hell I want us to leave the SEC

We understand that brotha. What you aren’t getting here and what the OP is asking is why is the SEC/Sankey still trying to sue and expel LSU from the conference even after Lane explicitly said that he was not playing those so called “pro” players and even decided not to roster them?
They are not joining the team. Ever. So why are they still fighting LSU over this?

Because a Louisiana court neutered the SEC's ability to go after LSU for playing the group of players (if it did).
The SEC, trying to claw back power, is pivoting and saying LSU and LSU's leadership is irreparably damaging the SEC brand and they want the power to expel/impose penalties.

It is just all about some people‘s personal feelings getting hurt! What’s going on right now is absolutely ridiculous! LSU has not broken any rules! If they decide to punish LSU for any reason, both the NCAA and SEC will be in some real trouble! I think they absolutely know this!

Sankey should be thanking Lane for attracting so much money to the conference, but instead sticks and stones break Greg Sankey’z s bones

However, Notre Dame is not part of any conference when it comes to football and they are basically put at the top of every football ranking every year. Maybe we should be like Notre Dame?
We're not Notre Dame.
I know it's difficult for some people to acknowledge that, especially here, but we're not remotely the same in overall perception.
Notre Dame is up there with the Yankees, in terms of universal recognition. Probably above the Cowboys and Lakers. Definitely above Duke in basketball.
That's why every other college, including Alabama, Texas, USC, Ohio State etc is in a conference, and TV deals are negotiated by that conference; and Notre Dame has a deal with NBC (an over the air network) for decades. They are alone atop college football in that regard.
That may all change, but not the way you'd hope... LSU would not elevate to the level of Notre Dame. They may decline to the level of mortal programs and eventually have to make concessions and join a conference.
I say this, to say "don't be delusional" with all this. We're a big player on the CFB stage, it's 99.9% likely the SEC won't expel us, and the ACC or Big 12 almost certainly would be interested after a cooldown period if they did. It's even possible the Big 10 might use us to leverage into SEC territory, academics aside. It would be a big score on their part purely from a business angle; and it's a big business now.
But we're not a national brand to the point where we could command remotely what Notre Dame's getting. Nobody is.

- LSU agrees to not roster the players as directed by SEC.
- lane kiffin makes a tongue in cheek comment at halftime
- SEC continues to seek approval from court to punish LSU for getting in their way of enforcing their rules (the rules LSU followed I might add)
- SEC seeks meeting to evict LSU from SEC
Nutshell- SEC wants to punish LSU for questioning the rules but not breaking them.
P.s. players that got screwed originally are still screwed and will sue LSU, who will in turn, sue sec for forcing them to break a court ordered injunction

Don't worry about it. Dumb cock sucker Sankey can't really explain it either.

There are multiple concerns that could force this case to LA Middle District.

Sanky is obviously and ego maniac. he got his arse handed to him in court and adding the comment about the gumbo is even further proof what a prick he is, what is the judge gonna say about that, I bet she laughed out loud

When the time comes to $hit or get off the pot, they will back down. Until then, they will try to throw as much poo on the walls as they can (because they know where we are headed).
What we need to be careful of, is if we do break a rule (like unnecessary rushing the field) THATS when we're gonna get stomped on. So BEWARE
