Stankeys talking to some fools that sit in college presidents seats. He sure looked like a FOOL last time he was in court and I doubt that changes next time he goes.

This baffling to me too. I don’t think the SEC commissioner has been great in general by any stretch, but he isn’t the author of the conference response in this situation.


I doubt he does anything when a large majority are telling him not to. I'm sure there are things he's done where it's evenly split or close and he has to decide.

It's crazy to me how every LSU fan thinks Sankey is just doing things without talking to anybody.



If they are making a mistake it's his job to guide them

Whether they are wrong or not is tbd

Pretty evident on this board there’s a LOT of caring outside of La

Georgia and Tennessee are still pushing for expulsion.


I follow Georgia football very closely and there's been nothing to indicate UGA is pushing for expulsion. You sound like you're hunting for a neutral ally because everyone knows that Ole Miss and Tennessee have an axe to grind with Kiffin. Georgia's not your ally, and I'm pretty sure that Kirby's not too fond of Sankey either.

It’s only a matter of time before the SEC home office is in Austin anyway. Hopefully by the time you all figure it out, LSU is long gone and in a superior conference.

Plain and simple.


Alabama, Georgia and the Joke Program of Tennessee aren’t comfortable with LSU having autonomy over how good it can be.

I really don't think Texas has the following everybody thinks they do. They have a mediocre history of national success. They really just beat up on all the smaller Texas schools for 100 years and were usually ranked. Now Texas is a big, football loving state, but there are so many other schools that have competitive programs now. And Austin has become so liberal, it's turned off a lot of the rural fans.

Just throwing this out there, I obviously don't think LSU would fare better going independent. And LSU fans love the sec and being part of it.

I seriously doubt the LSU president was pushing that hard against the SEC, beyond what they were told to do. The steering wheel of this political mess came from, and still comes from, LA's biggest politician. The Governor was out of place and pushed every button in his domain to get this to a Baton Rouge courthouse. The SEC declared war, and here we are.

eh, I think most people believe that Kiffin is a disrupter who likes to exploit loop holes when there's a loop hole to exploit. And when the opportunity presented itself, through TROs granted, yeah he recruited players who benefitted from the TRO.

The "Texas Law Group" has filed lawsuits all over the country over this 5 for 5 shitshow. Of the 43 litigants in the BR case, 6 were from LSU (1 football player, 2 soccer players, 2 softball players, and 1 basketball player). There were also LA athletes from Tulane, Grambling, McNeese, Northwestern St, and Louisiana Tech as co-petitioners.

I don't disagree that Landry is doing his best Huey Long impression and is trying his best to be a cajun Donald Trump, but I don't think he is/was pulling the strings on the lawsuit getting filed when it did. I do think he's certainly been supportive of it since it got going, however.

I edited for errors and added a little more context. Got distracted taking the dog out. From a UGA perspective, is y’all’s president really highly thought of? I would guess he is one of the let cooler heads heads prevail forces that helped lead to yesterday’s de-escalation


This thread is the first reference I've witnessed that Morehead was a power broker beyond campus. Given that his long time inner circle is starting to move to other jobs, word is that he is edging toward retirement from UGA.

Those "fools", as you call them, are Sankey's boss. He's not doing this, or anything, without their approval. The folks on this board keep missing that point.

Tennessee loves to hate Kiffin but no one has had an actual axe to grind in ages. He's mostly like a pro-wrestling heel to us (and Knox Co elected one of those as mayor).

LSU is at best the 5th or 6th biggest market in the SEC.
