Yall skirted the actual question. Is there equality in Lsu having no Div I competition to sign in state talent, as compared to other SEC schools that have several schools competing for the same quality of talent?

LSU has an advantage with that. And Alabama is a bigger state that is located closer to Georgia recruits (which is too big of a state for UGA to get all of them), as well as Florida. Should the conference do something over which it has no control on those fronts?

Your inequity of talent argument is a red herring. There are no rules against recruiting in Louisiana. The rules are the same for every program.

LSU has to compete against all the SEC programs for all of their in-state recruits.

Saban left Michigan St. because he couldn't compete against Ohio St. or Michigan for the best talent in the Big-10.

He approached LSU because he saw the available talent level in Louisiana; however, he would have to accomplish what no one had been able to to before him--out recruit the SEC perennial powers for the best in-state talent.

If you want to blame someone, you have to look no further than Nick Saban.
