I would still sue the conference for defamation of brand


Who would you sue? The SEC? ESPN? Paul Finebaum?

A quick AI perusal tells me:

quote:

To win a business defamation claim, a company generally must prove:

A false statement of fact: The claim must be verifiably false. Pure opinions or harsh reviews (like saying a product is "terrible") are legally protected and not considered defamation.

Publication: The false statement must be shared with at least one third party (such as via a social media post, fake online review, or news article).

Fault or Negligence: Private businesses usually need to show the speaker acted negligently, while larger public companies often must prove "actual malice" (knowing the statement was false or acting with reckless disregard for the truth).

Economic harm: Unlike individuals, who might sue for hurt feelings or personal embarrassment, a business must typically demonstrate tangible financial loss—such as lost sales, damaged customer contracts, or expenses spent fixing the PR damage.

As someone pointed out last night, the SEC really fricked up by naming AG Merrill as a defendant to prevent a suit from LA & LSU to prevent tomorrow's meeting.

As she said on Moscona yesterday, the LA AG office doesn't have anyone with credentials for the district court of NO AL. However, as a defendant, I'm pretty sure the judge would have been much more likely to allow her to defend herself. Given that opportunity, she could have made it clear that the SEC had made an allegation that was in no way true. The SEC probably thought there was going to be no defense present today.

The SEC has some really bad lawyers.

They used one of the biggest law firms in the entire state for this, and they drafted a complete abomination

Most legal experts have laughed at it

They want to kick us out because though about rostering former professional players even though they can’t come up with an actual definition for former professional football players. Meanwhile Ole Miss is playing and actively promoting a quarterback who is ineligible by NCAA and SEC rules and OU, Texas, and South Carolina actually rostered players who went through the nfl draft process without withdrawing and then came back to college thanks to injunctions. The SEC needs to be sued into oblivion IMO.

I never understood the concern that LSU was going to sabotage the meeting. What were we gonna do, lock everyone out?

Wouldn't that run afoul of the state judge's ruling?

So Rousse informed Sankey last week that LSU was not going to roster the 2 players and the presidents STILL called for the meeting/vote to expel tomorrow? Interesting.

The situation has generally de-escalated in the wake of LSU's decision to not roster NFL players.
