Curious if anyone will have Trump take the blame for this never ending war.
Trump started it. Likely at the demand of his Israeli overlords, but it’s his doing and his alone. I am going to vote Republican, but certainly can’t fault anyone who doesn't vote in November out of protest.
Good point, but I didn’t think LSU was alone or first out with that model…but as you highlight, most things in life come down to money.
No particular order
1.) handicap Football and Basketball recruiting. Let the threat of penalties and suspensions linger for as long as possible
2.) leverage for the College Athletic bill in the House. Case dropped if I get your vote
3.) Payback for perceived tampering in the Kiffin and Wade hires
4.) Payback for Sankey’s embarrassing testimony

As an earlier post highlighted - there is definitely a coordinated effort to “Cancel” LSU Athletics through the SEC’s mouthpieces.

Not sure what LSU’s leverage is, but Birmingham should not underestimate the intellect and resourcefulness of our allies.
They thought a war of words - their own and through their media puppets - would buckle LSU as it was worked with Woodward and the Wade situation.

This group refused to be cancelled and bullied and does appear to have put the SEC in a tougher spot than if they had left things alone.

The players are not the only ones whose eligibility has run out. Heads should roll in Birmingham.

I enjoy having a damn strong coaching staff. Been 20+ years
That was awesome.
David tagged Sankey with that video, so we should expect an amended complaint with David as a codefendant and season long suspension of Kiffin - The Goodell - Payton treatment.
A 50 year old man’s demands would consist of 3 bullet points.

1.) Be nice
2.) Be available (no headaches)
3.) See bullets 1 & 2 if confused what to do next
I made a post about this yesterday. Sankey and some other SEC Presidents want LSU to keep its seat at the kids table. They want to keep LSU in its place and levy punishments that throttle the football program.
SEC commissioners didn’t have issue with LSU football while we were mired in mediocrity with a couple of National Titles sprinkled in between. Now we have an administration and coaching staff that can seriously compete year in and year out, yet they want to keep us seated at the kids table.

Sankey needs to focus on regaining the mantle he lost to the Big 10. That gap between the two conferences will widen if they decide to cut off the nose (LSU) to spite the face.
He is everything you would expect in person. Spring 2024, walked past him at a Harris Teeter in Charlotte. 4 years after covid, still masked up in public. It was likely to protect him from having to engage with someone vs. catching the cold. He and the other virtue signaling, cancel culture, hold overs at ESPN are not worth what they are being paid.

Snakey, when he included basketball with its eligibility doctrine, made it clear the vendetta was against LSU. The addition of the football players simply surfaced hostility years in the making.

This entire situation should make you question the intelligence of everyone in media
they are morally corrupt, lazy, and incapable of independent thought.
18 data points. Not a big sample if its meant to represent all teams
When Snakey at the direction of his Alabama overlords threw in basketball, it was a clear message to one program - LSU.

It became personal. I hope LSU and the players directly impacted by this collusion, drags its nuts across his forehead.

Hope this is Sankey’s downfall
swap the N and the A and you have Snakey.

You are not the A-Hole. If you are struggling to find something positive to say about the situation, you can share that his experience could save someone’s life in the future.

The friend group is now dental health apostles and will be sure to stand this guy up as Exhibit A for seeing a doctor immediately when a tooth ache or other mouth or nose infections arise.
