Chips are down: Is LSU being this villainous good for the rest of the SEC?

Will the fall be greater than the rise?

To your knowledge, what rules has LSU broken?

I don’t see the big deal with what they’ve done honestly….it’s all obviously within the rules, so what’s the problem?

The fact that LSU not actually breaking any rules doing this will speed real reform in college athletics ahead.

When Kiffin started doing this with fake injuries it caused quite the kerfuffle

100% but the outrage led to actual rule changes. Say what you want about the fricker but he's always looking for advantageous opportunities for his team.

Funny that so many people are terrified that LSU is going to go on such a great run.

I personally think they will with Lane at the helm. But to be so reeeee about it, makes no sense.

I think this whole thing with Ole Miss/Trinidad, LSU, the Colorado court ruling, etc. is shining a light on what a clown show the NCAA has become. Their rules aren't binding and can be overruled by any local judge. They had years to prepare for the eventual NIL takeover and were wildly unprepared to tackle the challenges it would present.

I'd personally rather Trinidad Chambliss lose his eligibility than have this BS continue. 2022 high school athletes are arguing for more eligibility based on a new rule that wasn't in place when they were in college. By that logic, why doesn't every college athlete from the past few years sue the NCAA for more eligibility and have their local court overrule the NCAA?

LSU is needing private equity to afford their expensive decisions but need to go get some NFL bum "or risk getting left behind"

As if the private equity deal could mean they are not doing enough...after they already sold their soul to the devil.

LSU tears will be so delicious

I never said as such! Being a villain encapsulates more than crime and breaking rules

Alabama has always been the evil empire.


When did LSU take its place?

This man has a point.

To OP, it isn't necessarily " good " for the conference for LSU to be the villain, but it was always going to happen when they hired Kiffin. They'd be the villain even without a lot of this stuff, so they might as well lean into it.

If being seen as a villain is a badge of honor of some type.. they can enjoy it.

Don’t think most people give a shite. Just off season crap.

No one changing their opinion of Lane. No one changing their opinion of LSU. LSU hiring him did not move the needle much at all.
