Your school signed a former professional during the hearing yesterday.

Go sit in the corner.

It is Texas choice, they will pay through the nose in fines and get a nice forfeit loss.


Forfeits are not counted when they determine bowl eligibility.

quote:

Bowl Eligibility Rules

The baseline:

According to the NCAA, a team must win at least as many games against Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) opponents as its overall losses (such as a 6–6 record). [1]

Forfeits:

Official NCAA guidelines state that "ties or forfeited games do not count in determining won-lost record" for postseason. Only games actually played and decided on the field count toward the required win total.


I have said from the beginning the most peak LSU scenario that could happen is the SEC boycotts playing LSU, they only manage to schedule a couple FBS teams to make up the games. LSU finishes 4-0 with a $50 million dollar roster and fail to make a bowl game.

You literally just said forfeits don’t count against the record and LSU would be 4-0 or 3-1.

They wouldn’t be excluded from bowls then you fricking mouth breather.

Texas has a former professional football player on its roster.

Maybe yes, maybe no as the SEC doesn't seem to be able to determine what is a professional. Texas does have the player that NEVER SIGNED A CONTRACT on the team however which is different than some of the other players in this Bru-Ha-Ha.

The SEC wouldn’t be this dumb would they?

Sankey knew the case was already decided beforehand.

Sankey also knew his testimony would be dissected. So he chose that path.

Do it. See how violating the Judge’s ruling yesterday works out.

LSU will claim the wins and the SEC would have serious contract problems as the current SEC media deals are predicated on these matchups happening.

Soooo, do it. Coordinate burning it all down.

I get it’s easy for Aggots to support that approach, it’s not like y’all will ever win anything anyway
49-25 ring a bell. That's what started this whole mess.

But, seriously, the four SEC schools that are scheduled to visit Baton Rouge (A&M, State, Bama, and Texas) could decide not to play with little impact on them. I don't know what the game contracts provide, but we all know from experience when LSU canceled its contract with A&M 30 years ago that there is really no remedy when a state school backs out of a contract (Mike Leach could wear you out on this subject if he was still alive). The CFP certainly isn't going to punish them for not playing, and the SEC could simply declare the games "no contest" like a covid cancellation.

ESPN would lose four game off it's inventory, but that's a drop in the bucket. They would not want to jeopardize their relationship with the SEC by making a stink over that. Besides, the drama would drive the ratings for College Gameday through the roof.

I don't think it will come to that as there is time for the federal court to take some action which might bring this to a head, but it's a viable path.

It was such a poor choice for Sankey to get on the stand yesterday. It likely was not going to make much of a difference, he was incredibly unprepared, and he ultimately hurt the SEC's position.

Two of those four games will be the most watched college football game that weekend. You think ESPN is going to be okay with that?

Exactly. Good luck getting that through to these alligator frickers.
