Sanctioned and expelled for not breaking any rules?
Yall are being sanctioned/expelled for colluding with NFL players to file lawsuits in order to prevent the SEC from enforcing rules. That’s the issue. Plus the SEC doesn’t believe y’all’s President or AD have full control of your football program right now because of your governor’s involvement

LSU, all of its players and athletic department employees, and the state of Louisiana will sue. The SEC will be locked up in court for several years so much so that no one will want to take LSU’s place on risk of not being able to recoup investment.


Just to be clear, the obvious reason why the SEC amended the lawsuit today was to move the future challenges out of the state court in Louisiana and into the Federal Court.

Good luck getting a TRO before the federal courts affirm the decision of this judge to affirm the SECs right to expel in the near future

What I find funny is the inability for LSU fans to understand that the University has acted in such a way to make the other 15 member universities hate them enough to call a vote to expel them.


Seems like an interesting precedent to set.

Every member pisses the conference off at one time or another. Would Auburn have been kicked out over the Cam situation? Florida during the latter Urban years? A&M a few years ago when Saban and Jumbo got into it?

LSU folks getting exercised should a) read the rules SEC accuses (with solid evidence) of violating and b) decide if they wish to get booted. Ok if they do. The “suicide vest” approach they have been taking doesn’t look like it will work. LSU got called and is looking for options that don’t exist or that fail to account for rules governing voluntary associations. The “but Texas” or “but Trinidad” stuff has surface appeal but collapses completely when one considers the applicable rules. Sad for them but inescapable.

What’s the evidence? Louisiana AG said the filing is based on second and third hand conversations and a tweet.

There is no proof of this anywhere. Again, I know they don’t “need” a reason based on the by laws, but is that really the precedent the other member schools want to set? “Hey we don’t know if you did this or not, but some reporter said you did so we’re going to kick you out”. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills

Ok, NOW it all makes sense.

No rules of any kind need to be broken in order to kick a member of the conference out. No reason at all needs to be stated. Shitloads of posters on this board are defending that.

fricking insanity.

It's not crazy at all.

LSU and the other members of the conference have irreconcilable differences. The other members wish to divorce from LSU.

LSU isn't special. If Florida or Auburn were attempting to work against the conference, they would be facing a similar punishment.

What rules of the conference did LSU not follow? What rules did they break?

I'm not arguing they can't kick LSU out. I'm arguing that it's absolute fricking insanity to support the idea that you can be kicked out of an organization, especially one you're a very important member of, for doing literally nothing wrong, or at least not breaking any rules set by that organization.

You're a smart guy, so it's wild to see you on the side of total incoherence.

I am thinking that LSU might actually be kicked to the curb. Their locked on goof ball said it would not happen. Him stating something is usually the kiss of death.

You are conflating two things:

1.LSU didn't break any rules

This is certainly a defensible position. LSU was operating in a gray area.

2. LSU didn't wrong the SEC

LSU has gone rogue, in the most public fashion, openly opposing the conference. They have very clearly set themselves in opposition to the conference. It is absolutely reasonable for the conference to not be ok with that

Didn't Lane follow exactly what the SEC said? He didn't roster those guys. He said he'd follow the SEC's guidelines, and from what I know, he did.

Quite possible I missed something, though.

I’m no fan of Lane Kiffin. I do enjoy LSU & their unique culture when it comes to sports.
But putting expulsion out there is offensive & an unnecessary level of shithousery from the SEC office.

People hated & made fun of the so-called good ol’ boy system, but they would have handled this a lot better than this poo flinging contest between lawyers
