Sigh. You actually think LSU stole from a children's hospital? Are you a crack baby?

quote:

---

If it’s not an issue then why are you worried about an opposing fan posting about it on the SEC Rant?

---

Who said i'm "worried?" I just pointed out the stupidity of posting like this was some sort of scandalous news that just got discovered by intrepid undercover journalists

This is a weird melt for a sports discussion board

Making an observation is not a "melt." Are 16 years old?

quote:

You tarded?

Did I start a stupid OP about a stupid topic? No.

So the OP is basically saying LSU intentionally scheduled a scrimmage knowing they only had 4 players on the roster and never cancelled it despite still being shorthanded. Do you honestly believe that's what happened? That LSU took the court for a full scrimmage with only 4 players?

Guy makes a legitimately funny joke, you show you clearly have no sense of humor and then criticize him. You played yourself

Why do you think basically EVERYONE else took the side opposing LSU this time

I couldn't care less about freaking hypocrites like the Tennessee chancellor who fought the NCAA as an "intellectually bankrupt" cartel for investigating Tennessee’s NIL collective over the Nico Iamaleava recruitment. She went to federal court, filed an antitrust lawsuit alongside the state of Virginia, and broke the NCAA’s NIL restrictions wide open to protect her own football program. Then she wants to go scorched earth on LSU?

Why would you care what those people think?

It's not because LSU is some villain

It's because LSU did something crafty and beat everybody to the punch

Rousse should have never written that letter stating that. It guts the contempt claims and potentially puts LSU in the cross hairs

---

You are drawing the 180 degree wrong conclusion. It explicitly states LSU was coerced by the SEC and he's exactly right in that statement. The SEC was very public about it. Somehow you missed all that

quote:

---

LSU should have paid these guys a measly settlement

---

Why? LSU had done nothing wrong.

quote:

---

LSU informed the SEC on September 4 that they would not roster the 2 players. It's specifically stated in Rouse's letter

---

Why are you mistakenly thinking the SEC didn't issue any threats prior to that?

quote:

---

The SEC meeting/threats were September 8

---

The first meeting was August 25

quote:

---

This is ignoring the timing issues, mind you.

---

There are no "timing issues"

quote:

---

LSU made the decision not to roster them the day after the injunction ruling, prior to the amended federal suit and the scheduling of the potential expulsion vote.

---

September 3: Judge Jorden issues the Preliminary Injunction in Baton Rouge protecting LSU and the players.

September 4 (Afternoon): LSU President Wade Rousse calls SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey to give advance notice that LSU will not place Wright and Harris on the 105-man roster. LSU formally submits its locked roster that evening.

September 8: LSU fills its final two open roster spots with other players and locks the roster completely.

September 8 (Later that day): LSU receives formal notice that the SEC scheduled a special Presidents & Chancellors meeting for September 10 to vote on expelling LSU from the conference.

September 8–9: The SEC files its amended federal lawsuit in Alabama, pushing to validate its authority despite LSU’s compliance.

The threats happened before September 4. LSU didn't wake up on September 4 and randomly decide to bench two court-cleared impact players. The expulsion meeting was the follow-through, not the origin.

quote:

---

Rousse's letter says the decision was made on September 4 by LSU not to roster them

---

Under threat of death by the SEC which was in direct contravention of the state court order

quote:

---

On September 8, the SEC amended the federal complaint and scheduled the meeting (potentially with expulsion on the table

---

Exactly. Punitive, vindictive and in contempt

quote:

---

LSU had already the decision prior to this date

---

AFTER the SEC had made numerous very public threats. The REAL threat was the CFP. They're in the on deck circle in all of this

quote:

---

the injunction was effectively moot as to those players

---

Them filing now shows that you are wrong on this. They are losing revenue. They should sue.

quote:

---

I don't think LSU is under any threat of expulsion due to votes by those schools

---

:confused: They were more than clear about this numerous times very publicly. That's what prompted Landry and Murrill to get involved
