I vote we keep LSU and kick out the former SWC and Big 12 teams.

Try to pay attention. It is more about the academic institutions being at the whim of courts on a case by case basis as to who they can and can't admit into their school. It's the legal precedent that is the issue here.

There is no ruling saying a school must admit someone. The players that LSU, and other colleges want to roster, have presumably been admitted to those colleges as students. Just because a 5/5 player who went undrafted and unjustly didn't get to choose to come back because the NCAA delayed their ruling for this specific class of players only has a TRO to be able to play in CFB doesn't mean any team is being forced to roster them or school to admit them.

Nothing in the TRO could be used as legal precedent to force a school to admit someone who didn't meet their requirements. Now, the actual ruling may have something in there but until that happens you have lost your mind.

SEC teams will do one of two things. They will refuse to play LSU, or they will vote to remove them from the conference. No idea which it will be.


The judge will rule that LSU cannot be removed from the SEC, and that no one can refuse to play them.

It will be funny watching Pete Golding tell his players to run the other way with the football out of spite

if LSU is removed from the SEC, they will begin a long run on making every playoff in the near future.

But what happens when the next lawsuit involves some other eligibility requirement?

already happened.....before the 5/5 issue

Eventually you're potentially creating a system where the courts, rather than the universities and their governing organizations, determine who is entitled to participate in collegiate athletics.

already happened before LSU entered the fray(hint: is LSU or any other school listed as plaintiff in any of the cases)

And that's why I think the SEC is fighting this so hard.

holy shite batman.....the SEC, along with every other conference, already created the student athlete you describe

quote:

It's about who ultimately gets to establish the rules governing admission and participation at universities: the institutions themselves, their governing organizations, or individual courts issuing injunctions one case at a time.


CONGRESS......are you paying attention yet? something, something SAVE act

For the record, under present circumstances I don’t think the SEC should take either of those actions, and don’t think it will. But if you think a lower court judge in Baton Rouge has the power to enjoin those things, you’re crazy.

It might try to enjoin the sec from enforcing its own rules by lesser means, like suspensions or fines. But that wouldn’t survive an appeal imo.

Rumor floating around the SEC offices this afternoon:


Can you even imagine the SEC throwing out a founding member, you carpetbagging frick? I’m not talking about your masterbatory themes - I mean the biggest conference throwing out one of the biggest brands in college sports…

Even if there was some kind of possibility this happened, LSU would raid the SEC when creating our new conference and Arkansas would be left holding the bag. There would be 5-6 schools coming with us from the jump, as the other conferences also crumbled and the entire system would fall to the ground.

How do you think Arkansas fares in that scenario?

It seems to me that the SEC suing LSU and Lane Kiffin would be a logical first step to take before expulsion from the conference.

Yep. Unless something drastic happens at LSU, this is the first step towards divorce

Lane Kiffin is such a disaster.

As of 8/29/26 Dae’juan Wright was not enrolled at LSU. I am pretty sure he still is not enrolled. Tomorrow is the deadline to enroll at LSU. He is just practicing with the football team. It appears the plan all along was to wait until after today’s hearing before they enrolled him.

Ignoring all the other stuff, it is crazy that it is even possible for a player to enroll and then play in a game the next day.

Not a single SEC team would venture off into the unknown with LSU in this scenario.

I also don't think LSU is going anywhere unless their own powers that be choose that route.

But, man, hasn't college football become fun. Who knew lawyers, a catastrophic boom of entitlement and self-inflated egos complex with the almighty dollar could have been bad for the sport?
