would be so good LSU can immediately join one if its suitors in a conference. Would be the final blow for Sankey.

If the feds establish that you can be kicked out there won’t be damages and it won’t matter a damn what the local judge in Louisiana thinks, that’s why the case was filed.
They’re lining you up for a clean kill if they need to take the shot, hopefully your governor who seems to be running your program understands the limits of his power outside the state and will agree to some deal to deescalate this.

Unfortunately, the SEC is a business and will be liable for damages while being held in contempt in Louisiana.

So you think the damages would be limited to LSU?
Disney, radio, sponsors, NIL deals, lost revenue by member and non member schools.
The amount of money lost for hundreds of people would be insane.

Kicking LSU out of the SEC COULD result in the SEC owing 10s of billions of dollars after all parties involved are awarded settlements and judgements.

SEC can easily get a TRO today. That isn't the end of the process. But continue thinking with your head in the sand lmfao. SEC can 100% vote LSU out and I fully expect them to have the votes but that doesn't mean you win. The courts have a long legal process.

The SEC has clear bylaws outlining the path by which schools can be removed:
quote:
3.1.5 Termination of Membership
Membership of a member may be terminated involuntarily at a meeting of the Chief Executive Officers (the presidents/chancellors of the member institutions).
A vote of at least two-thirds of all the Chief Executive Officers is required to terminate membership.
Any motion to terminate membership shall specify the effective date of the proposed termination.
quote:
3.1.6 Effect of Withdrawal from or Termination of Membership
As of the effective date of the termination, withdrawal, or deemed withdrawal of a member of the Conference, such member shall not have a right to receive and will not be paid any distributions of revenue from the Conference (including those under Bylaw 31).
The language is clear and unequivocal.
If the federal court enshrines that right to remove you there would be no grounds for suit in Louisiana because it would've already been decided at the federal level that they were within their rights and the federal ruling would supersede the state court.
You could file locally. You could win locally. It would then immediately be appealed federally and you would then lose.
The SEC isn't responsible for any schools NIL deals with players, thats their problem.
The SEC isn't responsible for any schools sponsorship deals unless the SEC signed as part of the agreement.
No proviso obligates them to make anyone whole for whatever changes ensue other than Disney which would then attempt to renegotiate whatever changes to the conference (additions like UNC, etc) or changes in payouts would be involved.
The bylaws are clear and if the vote meets that threshold with a federal ruling in their pocket the only question would be whether they want to pursue it, not can they.

I’m not disputing that.
My post was about the financial and legal ramifications that would be associated with LSU being expelled the conference in week two.

As far as a short term settlement related to 2026 media payout? Sure it would be negotiated but the language is clear the league doesnt owe if they kick someone out.
Beyond that? Appeal it with the federal court if you want, good luck.

Yeah Im sure that would be arbitrated.
Im hoping none of this happens. Im just less confident when I realized what they were doing in the federal court and why I think it was done.

Since it was just determined that there is no proof that CLK/LSU contacted any nfl players this is likely thrown out in court since those are the merits behind the SEC wanting to have control.

This would be fine and dandy if LSU had done something worth roping the entire conference for the other 15 schools. This has the potential to end the conference if it goes poorly, there are absolutely scenarios where nobody wins.
This fight started over LSU trying to roster three backups who were borderline going to make it in the NFL. When the heat came, LSU folded. If the SEC wants to end up not having a media deal and leaving all of the schools to find new conferences, I guess that’s their prerogative, you are not wrong. Doesn’t make it a good idea either though.

If the SEC was dumb enough to go to federal court without evidence it probably deserves to be thrown out.
It would be one of the dumbest moves Ive ever heard of from a business or legal perspective and anyone involved with that decision should be held accountable up to and including termination.

Incredible to see how scared Lane has made everyone after only one game. Just incredible

No one disputes that the SEC, by a 2/3rds majority vote, can expel a member for any reason.
The Alabama federal court cannot stop anyone from filing suit against the SEC. Louisiana has a very broad principle of torts law. Harris and Smith, for instance, are going to sue the hell out of the SEC.

That was leaked today by someone who hates LSU so....

And what would the result of that be?
The local court probably rules for the local team, the SEC appeals and the verdict is eventually overturned based on the prior favorable ruling at the federal level.

The SEC is not some unassailable gavel of god just because they have voluntary membership and bylaws lol.
No amount of delegated private authority or freedom of speech empowers you to make illegal rules, defy courts, defy the Sherman act, or provides immunity from selective enforcement.
SEC is fricked long-term if they vote to do literally anything to LSU atp, unless they come up with some totally new reasons and/or evidence than what we have all seen so far.
They are very likely in contempt at this point. Or at the least, there’s a case for some lawyer to make that they are.
