The SEC cannot threaten to remove Louisiana’s flagship university and still expect permanent VIP access to Louisiana’s biggest postseason stage.

Honor every existing contract. Protect the College Football Playoff. Keep the Sugar Bowl bringing hundreds of millions into Louisiana.

But when future agreements are negotiated, end any automatic SEC preference. Make the Sugar Bowl a truly national game featuring the best available teams.

The Sugar Bowl belongs to New Orleans, not Birmingham.

If the SEC wants a divorce from LSU, it does not keep a standing invitation to Louisiana’s New Year’s party.

No revenge. No broken contracts. Just business.

The Sugar Bowl is a top 2 bowl in the country along with the Rose Bowl. Ending its relationship with the SEC doesn’t end its relationship with the playoff and national prestige. The SEC would likely try to make the Peach Bowl its premier bowl, but let’s face it, having lived in Atlanta and attended peach bowls, they are a pale imitation of the Sugar Bowl in many ways. Their city has neither the culture, the atmosphere or the inclusive experience of what New Orleans has to offer the teams and for fan bases selected to participate. When you go to Atlanta for the SEC championship, it’s incredibly boring. People milling around with literally little to do save the Dr. Pepper thingy at the football complex and a short museum tour of the boring college hall of fame. Lame place. Typical of Atlanta.

Sugar Bowl President is a GA transplant and will do whatever Sankey says. None of these people have any loyalty to LSU.
