Then address the Chambliss issue. Where is Sankey's federal lawsuit regarding that far more egregious infringement by the courts? I'd love to see the courts slapped down but until they are no rules for Ole Miss means no rules for everybody else.

Times going to tell here. LSU should comply and let this thing move on. Dig in and I bet it gets a lot worse for lsu and is a distraction

Don’t think the ncaa or sec views the “contracts” that way at all, regardless of how you or other lsu fans feel.


It doesn’t matter how they view it. It matters how they worded it.

Makes you wonder why the SEC isnt taking action against those schools and coaches

Especially considering that the lawsuit against LSU and Lane specifically mentions “recruiting” nfl players (nothing about actually signing them).
So if LSU can prove that even just one other SEC school recruited a player in an NFL camp, seems the case bs LSU would be completely nullified.

One player or agent testifying would destroy the SEC case.

Do you truly think lsu is clean here? Or that lsu did the exact same thing Texas did and your getting screwed


What is the real material difference between what LSU did vs what Texas did?

I know LSU recruited these players, as did other schools. Accusations that we "coerced" adults to sue anyone are hearsay at this point.

LSU didn't invent this TRO lawsuit shite. It happened last year and other places this year prior to these players filing their suit. To suggest LSU started all of this across the country this year is absurd and suggesting we coerced these specific players to do it is a huge accusation and one I haven't seen or heard a lick of evidence to back up.

You mean like Harris and Wright both saying, under oath, that other programs contacted them?

No
Way

Exactly. Not sure how there is any question about it, Sankey is targeting LSU while selectively ignoring other schools doing the same thing he is suing LSU for.

Not sure how this isnt immediately laughed out of court

If that would have been the ruling at the end of the 2025 season, BEFORE the draft, then it would have been the easiest way out of everything. This shite all started with Chambliss. He should have been ruled ineligible. Then everything is settled and we never have any problems.

But the NCAA and SEC have fricked this ALL up. I don't think there's any way out now except through a bloody fight.

That's cool, Tyrann Mathieu was out running drills a few weeks ago. He isn't joining the team.


If he was with the team in practice, that's an NCAA violation.

Because y'all are the only school accused of actively "recruiting" players from the NFL and encouraging them to sue for eligibilty.


That suit included roughly 30 athletes, about half of whom were football players, some of whom have already signed with other programs.

Do you really think LSU coordinated that just to benefit other programs?

Seems kind of dumb.

Chambliss was a ruling that allowed a single specific person to be eligible. The league was not forced to change its standards or rules to accommodate.

LSU is forcing the league to change it's standards.

I don't know, go look it up.

You can probably best find it by including "Saban" with it because it was legal until Saban started doing it and everyone cried about it.

No one has been sanctioned yet by the conference for these violations.

If LSU plays these guys they should be treated equally as Missouri IMO.

You were sued specifically in federal court because your school filed in district court and may have driven this outcome.

Do you mean you’ve unfairly become the lightening rod for the issue?

LSU and Lane Kiffin have both stated that they will comply with the law and they will follow SEC rules, and they have been in daily communication with the SEC.

It's unfortunate that the SEC can't define what a professional athlete or a contract is though.
