LSU filled the 2 roster spots preventing them from
adding Harris and Wright.

I think they did that to win the necessary swing votes to maintain membership on Thursday.

The court of public opinion sided with LSU on not rostering the guys this weekend.

Most rational schools agree with that. Most don’t want to start a conversation about who all contacted NFL camp guys this offseason.

I think they are looking at the circumstantial evidence…suit was filed in Louisiana by non-LSU 2022 players…that happened to play for Kiffin last year.


The suit was originally filed by pybum who played for lsu last year and wanted to return if possible, hence the br court.

Can you legally get a TRO to prevent a future TRO?

With all due respect, SEC isn’t kicking LSU out of the SEC.

Ain’t happening.

The NCAA changed the rules on Aug 25th. The SEC only codified the 'rule' on Aug 25th. Once LSU was told about the new rule, and even with the injunction in place that would normally override the new 'rule' , LSU did not roster the players.
In spite of LSU doing exactly what the SEC told them to do, the SEC is doing back flips to force LSU to bow to the league with ridiculous fines and suspensions.
I hope LSU tells them that they will see them in court. SEC has no leg to stand on with this timeline. LSU has done nothing wrong, and certainly isn't the only school in the SEC or America to have inquired about the possibility of returning players due to the NCAA change in the 5 for 5 rule, which changes everything about players eligibility and job opportunities .
Please don't bow down to these creeps! Let's go where we are wanted.

From Claude:


In that declaration, Sankey described a meeting of the other 15 SEC presidents and chancellors (LSU’s president was not part of it) that took place the previous Friday, September 4. He said the consensus reached at that meeting “was and continues to be” that LSU’s continued membership would be inconsistent with the conference’s values — and specified that this held true even if LSU didn’t roster the former NFL players.

So to be precise about sequencing:

• Fri, Sept 4: The 15 non-LSU presidents/chancellors met informally and reached that consensus.
• Tue, Sept 8 (today): Sankey’s declaration describing that consensus was filed with the court as part of the SEC’s amended complaint, which also set the Sept 10 special meeting to formally vote on LSU’s membership.

But WHY??



This is my question. I know people like to say oh they are just scared of what LSU will become under Kiffin. But could this really be the reason. Because other than that LSU hasn't done anything wrong and here we are on the verge of LSU being kicked out the SEC. Are they really scared that LSU is about to go on a dominant run and the only way to stop it is to kick them out?

Sankey then says.. the meeting was to consider kicking out LSU "whether LSU renounces its intention to roster and play professional players on its football team, or not."

The bill isn’t passing congress. So sec is trying to show they are the big swinging dick and keep their members in line. LSU drew the short straw on being made an example of.

Sankey will be part of the suits so not right in that aspect. Leaving does not get you out of court

Why not? It’s backed by Saban and seems perfectly logical.

seems very clear that ideal outcome for the SEC is LSU bends the knee, pays a fine, accepts a suspension for Kiffin and begs forgiveness.


For what???!!!!!
This is complete BS. Many SEC teams have done actual things much worse than what LSU is being accused of and didn’t do!

Not saying it’s justified, but I think the position is that LSU and Kiffin convinced “pros” to sue the conference and the school and state government supported this tactic.

I think they already had the redass about re-hiring Wade and hiring Kiffin in-conference.

That’s in direct contradiction with what Thamel/Finebaum reported today which is the SEC isn’t expected to expel LSU.

And from what AG Murrill says, they (LSU) has to hire an Alabama lawyer unless the judge allows them to use Counsel from Louisiana. This is one giant joke if you ask me.

Precisely. This is nothing more than a test case.
