LSU's attorneys entered their appearances today in federal court.

If this is true AND Rousse appeared in the meeting just to say he had been advised by counsel not to participate….

That is an almost surprisingly aggressive signal from our side lol.

Do you have a source for this?

I’m watching him live. Someone commented about it and he “confirmed” it.





I mean, they done pissed off a US Senator, the SOTH, a governor, an AG, and no tellin’ how many billionaires.

I like to imagine this was playing in the background when he joined...

FBI has been known to participate in antitrust investigations.

I don’t think people realize how exposed the SEC is here. A court could find that their organizational structure facilitates suppression of free trade, considering the context + the fact they can severely penalize or exclude parties without arbitration or evidence.

Permanent injunction could enjoin them preventing them from using their own bylaws & force them to rewrite the conference bylaws.

This is a hyperbolic worst case scenario for the league, but just giving you an example of how their legal exposure here is almost boundless compared to LSU’s.

College football is one of the most profitable industries. Antitrust all day long

Especially because threatening to kick LSU out is essentially threatening a death blow when you factor in the current state of college football financials.

Courts have consistently ruled the last 5-6 years that NCAA sports are subject to anti-trust and restraint of trade law. A bunch of competitors in any industry getting together and colluding to essentially eliminate a competitor is classic anti-trust behavior.

This is why I’m so surprised that even some of our fans have fallen for the whole “voluntary membership” rigamarole.

I’ve said it so many times that I have lost count… rulemaking authority does not empower you to make illegal rules or to defy courts.

This move by Rousse and if in fact our attorneys did make an appearance in the federal court case indicates to me that the SEC was/is pushing for punishments that amount to more than a slap on the wrist, I.e serious fines and suspensions/lack of voting privileges/etc. That tracks with what all of the mouthpieces were saying yesterday.

And I think we told them to fricking kick rocks.

We told them to suck that tiger dick and then they got a call from the speaker of the house while the head of the fbi gator hunts with our gov and ag.

Perhaps we can get Trump to call Sankey to tell him he is fired.

It’s almost as if having a President with private sector experience is smarter than the career academia fake doctors that run the rest of the conference


I did not know this and just read up on him. The rest of the conference presidents are most likely
1. Used to condescending to people like Rousse for only for money
2. Think it’s beneath their academic pedigree for him to be on equal footing with them (Doctorate From University of Chicago not withstanding)

This is all so delightful. Is there a video of Sankey on the stand sounding like a complete idiot? I would love to see that. Didn’t he say something to the effect of Lane made a joke that wasn’t funny and that’s why we’re kicking them out of the SEC?
Did Alabama get fines or suspensions for playing the kid from the G league in five or six games? I really don’t know, honest question. I know it certainly wasn’t as big of a deal as this has been made. In Texas doing basically the same thing and nobody say anything about that. I am absolutely loving every single bit of this walk back.

Not really surprising at all. LSU is pounding the law and the facts. The SEC is pounding the table.

That this was all bullshite. Nothing was going to happen

Ruffino hinted there’s a possibility the butthurt presidents (Tenn, OM, Bama) continue to push this and it gets ugly.
To be fair, that was before the SEC released the statement- I didn’t see his reaction to that.
