The other Presidents see an opportunity to weaken their now biggest threat

That's what this is.

They obviously did not like Lane going to LSU the way he did and don't like him general. They do not like how ahead of the game Kiffin/Glasscock are with the new era of football.

They know what a wagon the combination could be.

And while they obviously do not like at all the "pro players" thing, several other schools are currently rostering players with "pro experience". OM's star QB is just as much a violation of NCAA rules as anything LSU would do.

This is about getting a competitive advantage.
