Most of the schools in the conference have done this, including yours with Bediako.

Seems like a hypocritical statement.

The SEC has a long-established rule forbidding teams from bringing players with major professional experience onto their rosters. In recent weeks, the conference announced updated enforcement provisions to that rule, stating that the commissioner had the power to suspend coaches, fine universities up to half of a sport’s budget and restrict a member university’s voting privileges on conference matters.

The SEC can absolutely punish someone for saying things they deem to undermine or damage the conference or another member of the conference.


And yet they were quiet when fat josh suggested fans bring batteries and mustard bottles to throw at Kiffin. IF that is not a punishable offense then the bar for what can be said is pretty fricking high.

The SEC has never had a rule banning professional athletes, until a few weeks ago.

What they had was a bylaw that piggybacked off the NCAA's bylaws in general. Many schools in the SEC are currently in violation of that specific bylaw, so I'm not sure the SEC really wants to go down that road.

So why doesn’t Ole Miss get the same treatment with Chambliss?

LSU was never getting kicked out of the SEC.
LSU is one of the Crown Jewels of the SEC, they aren't Mississippi State.
It would be like the Big10 kicking out Michigan.


Michigan? Come on now, let's be serious. It would be like the Big 10 kicking out Wisconsin or Michigan State. LSU is bigger than teams like Washington and Nebraska but, nowhere near the same stratosphere as Michigan, little fella.

I believe any fine, sanction, or suspension must follow the SEC Bylaws which are pretty specific. If the SEC shows that LSU, or Kiffin, or the Janitor violated a bylaw, then put that out with supporting evidence and the SEC will be in a very strong position.

However, if a school is penalized, goes through the internal appeals process with in the SEC, and feels their rights have been violated by the process or that a rule was not actually broken, then what remedy do they have? Court is the next option.

I don’t understand the lack of oversight concern if no rules were broken. If no rule were broken, seems like LSU has good leadership, right?


LSU is on probation. LSU has vacated more wins in football than any other school in college football, ever. Their current AD was suspended a month for his role in the sexual harassment and assault scandal at LSU. Les Miles was recommended to be fired, was retained, then was fired. He was again fired from Kansas for his behavior while at LSU and blackballed from college football. LSU settled a class action title IX lawsuit for seven figures. LOIC is on the table.

2011-12 — NCAA major-infractions case. Recruiting violations. LSU put on probation.

2012-17 — Booster John Paul Funes provides $180K in impermissible benefits to a football player’s family using money embezzled from a hospital foundation.

2013 — Les Miles investigation intentionally stored offsite. AD Joe Alleva recommends firing him. LSU keeps him.

2017-19 — Will Wade caught on FBI wiretap discussing a “strong-arse offer.”

2019 — LSU suspends Wade after he refuses to meet with LSU/NCAA officials. Reinstates him 5 weeks later.

2020 — LSU’s handling of sexual misconduct allegations exposed.

2020 — Odell Beckham Jr. hands LSU players cash after the national title.

2020 — LSU self-imposes scholarship cuts, recruiting restrictions and a bowl ban amid the NCAA investigation.

LSU’s statement:

“This decision reflects LSU’s commitment to compliance with NCAA regulations and maintenance of institutional control.”

2021 — Independent review finds systemic Title IX failures. Verge Ausberry suspended 30 days without pay.

2022 — LSU fires Wade after an NCAA Notice of Allegations containing multiple Level I allegations.

2022 — Separate NCAA case: Football commits COVID dead-period recruiting violations. One year probation.

2023 — IARP resolves the football/basketball case: multiple violations, failure to monitor, 37 football wins vacated and 3 more years probation, beginning when the prior probation ended Sept. 21, 2023.

The NCAA also alleged lack of institutional control. The IARP did not sustain that allegation.

2024 — LSU pays $1.9M to settle Title IX claims. No admission of liability.

2026 — LSU rehires Will Wade.

The AD announcing the hire? Verge Ausberry.

2026 — Wade pursues international pros, an NBA draft pick and players with professional basketball experience.

It sounds like there will be a lot of penalties levied based on this rule.

But it won’t be Lane Kiffin and it won’t be LSU.
