Are you trying to claim LSU has a right to be in the SEC? That the SEC must allow and keep any school that wishes to be included?


No, I am asking you to tell me what SEC rule LSU broke that warrants a vote to expel them.

Or are you implying the SEC should just be able to do this whenever they want when a member does not violate SEC rules? That's really the type of league you want?

But all I can tell you is that that judge in Baton Rouge put the entire conference at risk. Either bleed a slow death, piece by piece, where everything is challenged and local judges decide in favor of the schools…

…. or take this thing head on and get something decided now.
This person gets it.

The SEC is trying to challenge the direction college sports have been taking and this is the best opportunity.

This isn’t about the “sanctity of the sport” or “amateur athletes”.

If the SEC cannot get control of the situation now, as the NCAA couldn’t, they know it will be their end in the next decade.

There is no control by any governing bodies.

Everything is controlled by random courts.

That does not mean LSU is your guinea pig to threaten expulsion over.

The SEC also still allowed you to have those players at practice.

What's your point? Want to punish Alabama, be my guest.




Wow. Just wow.

No he literally said he would comply with SEC rules.


If the court rulings were reversed was the rest of it.

LSU's Lane Kiffin awaits courtroom decision before following SEC's orders: We're focused on Clemson

Kiffin said if the court order is reversed that LSU would "absolutely" following the SEC's eligibility rules.

It seems like a lot of the problem is their rules contradict actual law and selective enforcement has also been a problem.

It's what sunk the NCAA and will eventually sink the conferences.

Ok, so why are we here? The court order was not reversed and he still followed SEC rules.

What are we doing?

LSU was simply unlucky.

They tried this first.

The SEC is trying to maintain what little control they have left.

What you are asking is not a requirement for them to vote LSU out.

Again, I've said it multiple times - I do not think LSU will be kicked out. I think these are warning shots.

I'm merely entertaining the idea for the purpose of debate and to understand the situation.

Tried what? Recruited "Pro Players" under a court order granting them eligibility? Just like Ole Miss and South Carolina?

What are we even talking about?

You don’t have to convince me of that.

It actually reinforces my position that if we just play whataboutism to justify continued flaunting of rules in perpetuity, then it just devolves into lawlessness of greater proportions.

It’s being appealed and a motion to dissolve/vacate the injunction have been filed. It might go away, or it might not. Either way, the case in Louisiana is far from over.

Of course. Of course. They didn’t know anything. That’s right.


What? The SEC was publicly against this.

Hell it might have been Alabama at the point of all this if the court hadn't shut it down in the 2nd hearing. Probably saved Alabama's arse really.

So what is the SEC's reason for having this vote?

There is no coming back from a vote or consideration of a vote of a chartered member for something that didn't actually happen.

You only followed the rules because of the SEC's lawsuit.

You left spots open in case you win.

Let's say the SEC does kick LSU out, does that open the SEC and its members up for claims of damages from LSU coaches/players/fans/vendors/etc.?
