I don’t want my team in this conference anymore. And I’m telling you, I don’t think the majority of the fan base wants to be either.

I truly think irreparable damage has occurred. Seriously. I think it really is that bad.

So you think Landry inviting those investors in may be what this is about? I can see how a school willing to sign away 10% of all their future SEC TV earnings could be seen as a huge threat to the SEC.

Sankey would get shitcanned if he expelled LSU. No one is taking any of this seriously.

Now, that is a good conspiracy theory.

I like it.

I think that talk of expelling LSU from the SEC is pure bluster from Sankey and the other SEC presidents to try to put their foot down. LSU and the SEC both have way too much to lose by kicking them from the league. As much as LSU fans would not want to admit in these ramped up emotional times, being kicked out of the league would do unbelievable damage to them, but also it would do unbelievable damage to the SEC to kick LSU out of the SEC. LSU, along with the other nine original members, is synonymous with the league. The SEC would not feel like the SEC without LSU, as it wouldn’t without Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Auburn, Ole Miss, Miss State, etc. In a sport as tied to tradition and heritage as college football, the SEC has a lot of branding damage potential from such a drastic move. Both sides know it is mutually assured destruction, but like a nuclear standoff, neither side wants to be the one who blinks first and loses the conflict.


I agree with everything you said. But honestly it’s either us or Sankey. Those two entities cannot coexist going forward. Especially when we actually capitulated. It’s petulant bullshite.

No chance they get kicked out. However, I kind of which it were true for those LSU people on here saying they’ll take Lane over their affiliation is the the conference they started.

Go ahead, take your coach that hasn’t won shite and has as much fidelity as a streetwalker. Take all that comes with that and take your chances against notre dame being independent.

You’ll come groveling back once Lane bolts for the NFL in three years.

LSU is a charter member the old school SEC schools May hate LSU but losing them would be a blow to the league. The original SEC members have a connection that the new schools don’t understand. We all compete with each other but have a long term bond

Yes which is why it’s fricking embarrassing that this isn’t being handled behind closed doors. Sankey looks like a petulant child throwing a temper tantrum, while LSU looks like the adult in the room. I don’t see how Sankey doesn’t get pushed out once this settles down. The simple fact is that LSU is a more valuable brand than at least 8 other teams in the conference. You can’t just replace that. ACC schools can’t afford the buy out. ND isn’t coming, and there isn’t a worthwhile Big12 team left. So you’re going to lose more than 1/16 of your revenue, open yourself up to additional lawsuit costs, and damage your brand because of 2 potential depth guys, who LSU chose not to add after consideration.

And that’s why I think it’s so insane you have LSU people actually thinking that way.

You sure about that?

Also what do we have to do with you?
