I hope after this post that we can focus on what is happening with the team. I have read nothing about what our team looks like lately. I will say one more thing about this though. I said earlier in the week that LSU’s president was the smartest guy in the room for abstaining. Well, that is exactly what he was. I would encourage everyone to read the Supreme Court case involving NCAA vs Alston. The vote was 9-0! Liberal and conservative justices voted 9-0! I think that it was Kavanaugh that likened the conferences to cartels. He wrote a scathing opinion about it. After reading that decision, I am of the opinion that the NCAA and the conferences have no chance in federal court.

That’s what makes this more insane. We know Kavanagh is just waiting to slam the hammer down and make an example out of a conference acting like a cartel.


Why didn’t the SEC notice that the legal terrain has not been exactly favorable to them before they decided conduct their legal strategy like a meth head.



Again, I don’t see how Sankey survives this. And how did a school like Vanderbilt sign on. They’re supposed to be our smart one :lol:

Ironically, LSU may be the one school that protected itself from what could be coming since we obviously weren’t participating in a federally illegal attempt at conspiracy.

The SEC’s current legal position is having to explain to a judge as to why it shouldn’t be held in contempt. And that’s against the backdrop of the NCAA and its conferences in a historic losing streak in every court case on all levels.

Somehow nobody told these idiots that they’re not the first people to think they can come up with a cute plane to violate a clear court order. And spoiler alert: courts don’t love when it’s tried.

If discovery shows the SEC, NCAA, schools or conferences coordinated to boycott these players, this could become a massive antitrust case with treble damages, injunctions and people losing their jobs.

And for what? Best case, they stop a handful of guys caught in a one-year eligibility glitch from playing one more season. Worst case, they expose an antitrust conspiracy and create devastating precedent against themselves.

The risk/reward here is insane and mark my words the ADs will try to make Sankey the fall guy for the exact behavior they pressured him to do.

Turtles all the way down.

But will SEC officials have marching orders to “unofficially” penalize the teams that sign them?

If the SEC wants to continue to expose itself to potential massive legal penalties, that’s exactly what they’ll do

Playoff committee already threatened us no playoffs with these players. Which they can't do and will get sued but what they can/will do is if LSU is a bubble team put someone ahead of us.

I am really confused how none of these idiots don’t understand how close they are to blatantly violating serious anti-trust / collusion laws.

Sounds like Sankey did too:lol:

One of our tRant lawyers should chime in to verify if this is correct, but

It’s amazing how allergic Louisiana ppl are to winning.

It makes us uncomfortable and we write dumbass articles like Rabalais

Some of my older relatives do all of these and I think it’s charming and in no way get upset about it

I think it’s one of the more unsettling stretches of interstate in the country especially at night and I’m always thankful to finally see the lights of the Horace Wilkinson bridge.


I’m not a woo woo person but there’s just some bad spirits there

I miss Mike Slive. That dude was cutthroat.
