None of those are emotional. Those are statements of fact that fit into the “Kiffin was thumping his chest,” which I was challenged to substantiate.




I really enjoy when someone states their opinion as fact. It shows they have a room temperature IQ.

“Imagine what it would be like if we had pro players” on national prime time television was a pretty wild move. Of course, that was after his public comments along the lines of, “if we don’t, someone else will.” And then fully acknowledging how they were being perceived and referring to themselves in the 3rd person as a “villain,” attempting to use it as motivation on a football facility wall.


This is a reach

You post from an emotional point of view. These are all "feelings hurt" kind of complaints.

They’ve said “thanks for the offer, but we will take our pound of flesh from the SEC instead”.

Why should Kiffin go against their wishes?

The federal court hearing is in regards to all teams in the SEC, LSU is simply the named entity.

The point of this hearing is to give the SEC the power to enforce rules that the NCAA has no power to enforce.

It was going to happen today no matter what.

Even if LSU said they would fire Kiffin, this still would have gone ahead.

It is a defining moment for conferences within sports.

Its purpose is to answer the question of if the NCAA cannot enforce these rules, does the SEC and other conferences have the power to?

You have kept track with the states I’ve lived in, my job, and even the vehicles I drive. You have to admit, that’s pretty strange, right?

Which one of those is an opinion? Lane Kiffin did all of those things, correct?

Calling it “chest thumping” would be the opinion scooter.

What nobody wants is a lame duck governing body that can’t enforce their rules. Sure, it’s worked well for certain teams

I think you need another cup of coffee this morning. My opinion was that it was chest thumping. Internet user Milk challenged me to substantiate that opinion. I provided facts to substantiate the opinion.

Put on another pot.

So y’all’s solution is to have the SEC try and be exactly what the NCAA was?

How did that work out for the NCAA in the end?

That is the ultimate question.

Can the SEC and other conferences set rules and enforce them, even though the NCAA could not?

This shite will likely reach the Supreme Court at some point.

With the alternative being what? Schools decide selectively which rules to follow and intervene as needed with courts? Its completely unsustainable absent federal legislation which seems likely to fail currently.

You've correctly identified that they are seeking to assert control over member schools, you just see it as a negative rather than a necessary evil as every other member institution has determined.

College sports needs some rule-making authority to be successful.

Correct, but not one that has shown they are no better at governing their body than the NCAA was.

There is no other viable option at the moment.
