It’s almost as if LSU is just begging to be kicked out of the SEC. Standing up, bowing its back and staring into the eyes of the league’s presidents and chancellors and daring them to make a move. Yeah, we’re bat crazy, so what?  We’re your bat crazy.  It’s almost as if LSU is just begging to be kicked out of the SEC.

There are 15 colleagues in the SEC who have no idea what in blue blazes is going on in Baton Rouge, too. If you can’t comprehend the utter lunacy that is LSU since the end of the 2025 football season, you’re not alone.

At that point, the other 15 SEC presidents and chancellors say goodbye to LSU and hello to North Carolina or Duke. Or both.

Yea good luck with that. Money talks, we would keep making hundreds of millions of dollars a year while the SEC would what? The likely end to that scenario would be the conclusion of the inevitable end of the SEC and NCAA, not damage to LSU

Could you imagine how dominant we would be if we were independent though

Being an independent, scheduling nothing but cupcakes, and getting a guaranteed playoff spot every year would make for some easy watching Saturdays.

LSU is in the top 5 valued football programs in the SEC. Texas, LSU, UGa and TAMU…
They ain’t doing crap.
This is NOT an LSU issue. It is all schools.
BYW - Sankey is about to get fired by a vote of lack of confidence.
UK, TAMU, Tejas, Ole Piss and others all have TROs.
It would be hilarious if he doesn’t back off.’

What a blind view of reality. "15 schools don't know what is happening".....somebody tell this idiot writer that the TE was contacted by SC and Ole Miss BEFORE LSU , according to the TE.
What about Hutson at Texas.....are they just exempt from the attack that LSU is under?
Such complete irrational nonsense by this writer.

This is modern sports writing, utter bs. The fact that this writer thinks that NC or Duke can replace a Blue Blood like LSU is laughable and shows how he has no credibility

Thanks for the reminder that USA Today still exists. I had no idea since I stopped staying at Ramada Inn.

Well, we'd get a lot of new cool road games. Ohio State, Michigan, Penn St, Oregon, USC.. etc. Yeah the SEC ain't doing shite. The selective outrage media will always do what they do. Fan the flames

That would be the beginning of the end of the sec one way or another. Yeah kick out LSU for Duke and or UNC. Watch how that goes for you. Would I have thought that leaving the SEC would be good for LSU years ago? No. Now? We dont even know what the landscape will look like in 5 years but not only would LSU land on its feet, can you imagine how aggressively other leagues would pursue LSU to join?? This is all posturing imo. The presidents can say what they want publicly but they know tgat would be really bad for the SEC and really good for someone else.
