Unfortunately, the media and majority of other fans will place an asterisk on this season

Regardless of what happens (has happened) in the courts.

Lsu can't back down now, but in the media and other (non LSU ) fans eyes every win this season will have an asterisk until the final higher court ruling and appeals are all finished. Even then, this team will always be known as the team that had "NFL players" (even if that's not exactly true)

The SEC can't back down because they will lose face and gut their authority

In that case most power 4 teams will have an asterisk by their name pretty much every season until something is changed. LSU is not the only team doing this buddy. Hate to burst your bubble here.

1. Why do I care if some nerdy little Democrat journalist thinks there is an asterisk? 2. Why do I care if people that don’t like LSU are mad?

Some of our fans need to get tougher skin.

Here’s the thing, the media, fans, etc will hammer you if you lose and if you win they will hammer you on how you win

If given the choice, I’ll take winning.

Who cares. Do you think Alabama fans really care about the asterisk that opposing fans put on the 2020 season?

They already have asterisks on 1908, 2003, 2008 (two loss champion), and have zero sympathy for 2011. I couldn’t care less what they think about 2026 if we win the title.

Lsu is the media highlight. Most people don't know the other teams. Everyone knows about LSU

We all know now that if we're a 2 loss bubble team, the playoff selection committee will not pick us over anyone else.

What will be fun to watch will them to pick another team, and dismiss their loss to LSU as not mattering because "LSU played with NFL players".

Man, when the media sets a narrative, even if it's wrong or nuanced, they stick with it throughout the whole season.

That's fine. I agree with you mostly. I just hate the idea of the worst case scenario where LSU ends up having their wins vacated

Yea, and the fans have embraced the villain role, which is fine

Who gives a shite what a bunch of propagandists think.

Everyone remembers what takes place on the field, not the pages of some record book covered in dust and cob webs
