Is old piss playing a player that the sec/ncaa said was ineligible. Did bama play a player the sec said was ineligible? Has multiple teams in the sec fostered players the sec said was ineligible?
It's almost as if there might be other factors involved.

Unless Lane, et al. really did encourage those players initially to sue.
That may have made some enemies.
(Just speculating to try and make sense of it.)

Sankey embarrassed himself. Literally couldn’t say what a “professional” or “amateur” is. Truly pathetic.

No doubt
I think he’s horrible but I would hope my team is smart enough to not cross him.

Now how do you think an egotistical thin skinned narcissist sees it?

Again, Sankey is not acting on his own behalf, he reports to the presidents and chancellors of the member institutions. Everything he is doing is at their direction.
He hasn’t gone “rogue”
He isn’t even shooting from the hip.
Everything he does has been calculated and is under the direction of the presidents and chancellors that he reports to. That includes the lawsuit, the amendment to the lawsuit, the including of “lack of institutional control” verbiage in the lawsuit amendment, and the plan to hold a vote the day after tomorrow on expulsion of LSU based on said lack of institutional control.
And the people who will hold that vote are the very SEC presidents and chancellors Sankey reports to.
Sankey may be driving the bus, but the SEC member presidents and chancellors are his dispatcher and are telling him where to drive the bus.
I don’t like it whatsoever. But people need to understand shite has gotten real and there is a very real chance that in roughly 48 hours SEC will lose its membership in the SEC. This would be a disaster for both LSU and the SEC. I pray it doesn’t happen. But it is a very real possibility and people need to come to terms with that.

A bad boss Sidewalk. Surely you have had a bad boss and knew to be careful with them
I did not say a good boss
Every bad boss eventually finds justice at his door.
That day is coming for Mr. Sankey. He has obviously made this situation personal and is acting out of pure butthurt. He will get his justice very soon.

I keep thinking that with Roger Goodell. And I have thought that a long time about Sankey. They just keep surviving.

The players who were ruled elligable brought him to court,the very people the conference commissioner and college presidents are supposed to be looking after.THE SEC WENT AGAINST THE JUDGES RULING NOT LSU.Whether or not you liked the judges ruling or not it a league problem,they are using LSU as a scape goat because they don’t bow down to a conference that doesn’t abide by a judges ruling.Eventually the SEC WILL be held in contempt of court.

Yea, every SEC school needs to be able to have their corrupt crooked governor find a corrupt homer judge in their state to overturn SEC league rules whenever their sniveling childlike coach snickers that he wants to do something childish!

This conference has never had a problem with it before.

With 15 (maybe 16 others), baw. Think someone is on an island. It's not Sankey.

It's pretty sad when the SEC Commissioner on said stand admitted to not having read the 5/5 ruling (what began this mess) and then waffled about what defined a pro player. It seems he embarrassed himself. Is that the guy we want running the show?

Cheer up LSU friends. Just reminisce back a week to when you were telling everyone that LSU was going to do what LSU wants and the rest of the SEC couldn’t do a damn thing about it.

Don't be fooled. Sankey is instigating all of this.
It's really easy to convince a bunch of Academics someone is trying to take advantage of them.

You don’t think the SEC is acting like retards?
I have tried to debate both sides of this in long-form, and it turns into the same circle jerk with the same questions getting asked and answered, over and over, ad infinitum.
It also seems to me that LSU has better players on their roster already, so I'm not sure why they don't just capitulate (for now, even if they disagree).
In other words, I think both parties should accept what's already in place and chill – the football season is no time to be litigating significant outcomes.
And I don't actually think anything will happen here, but it's certainly more fun to pretend like it.
So, this isn't even "just" threatening to fine and/or suspend the university and coaches.
LSU has not rostered these players, Kiffin has gone on the record stating he would follow rules (he has poked the bear by saying the rules should be universally applied *cough Chambliss cough*). He made a smartass comment at halftime, which doesn't show intent, simply remarked "imagine if we played the pros", in regards to a game his team was up 31-3 at that point.
Expulsion from the SEC, for that?
