What’s the legal basis that it will be removed from a federal court in Alabama to a federal court elsewhere?
The SEC named the LSU BOS in the suit which is an arm of the State of Louisiana.

If yesterday wasn’t embarrassing enough, this actually making it to a hearing would be the end of Sankey for sure.
Make sure Sankey reads the 1st amendment before chauffeuring him over to the courthouse this time.

The SEC is headquartered in Alabama, so it has an argument for venue there. But LSU, its president, athletic director, and Kiffin are Louisiana-based; the conduct is occurring at LSU in Louisiana; and there’s already an active Louisiana proceeding involving the same underlying dispute. That’s a pretty strong factual basis for LSU to seek transfer to the Middle District of Louisiana (Baton Rouge) or potentially dismissal depending on the jurisdictional/procedural arguments.
Perhaps, and I can’t speak to the ultimate success of the SEC’s argument that it has been damaged. I also can’t speak to how the federal judge in the Northern District of Alabama will view the existence of the current action in Louisiana state court. I’m just looking at it from a jurisdiction/venue point of view.
The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama certainly has subject-matter jurisdiction on the basis of diversity of citizenship. I also understand the lawsuit revolves around a 1st amendment claim, too, so there’s the federal question. I think most courts would also find that personal jurisdiction exists because LSU is an active member of the SEC, participates in SEC meetings, etc. with the SEC being based in Alabama. Seems like a pretty clear instance of having sufficient minimum contacts in Alabama.
The next question would be venue. This is where LSU/LSU officials might have an argument, since the recruiting activities at issue were carried out in Louisiana. That said, the rules at issue were established in Alabama. I can see both sides of this argument, and perhaps this would be grounds for removal to a federal court in Louisiana. Like I said, I can see it going either way.

They’ll probably get around that issue by naming individual officials as defendants.

I can too. I give it a 65% chance going In LSU’s/LA favor though.

I understand the attraction of stolen valor to you.
Just look at your post history. There's nothing to you. You're an empty shell.

Okay?

Being an attorney, I’m genuinely interested to see how the venue issue turns out. I’m not really a litigator, but it’s still fascinating to watch from a legal perspective.
Personally, I don’t really care about the ultimate outcome of the suit, other than I just want to see the chaos in college sports reined in. My hope is that this situation pushes us closer to doing that.

Then he probably should not have given multiple definitions, dumbass.
Or admitted under oath that he hadn't even fricking read the NCAA rule that he's crusading against LSU over.
