Good luck suing the conference. Surely there wouldn’t be repercussions for doing so


You are incredibly naive.

How do you think the conference will explain enforcement of its rules selectively, especially if there's a lawsuit?


No one is forcing LSU to be in the conference. If they don't like the conference's ruling then they can forfeit their league games.

They really just need to shut this bullshite down.

The couple players lsu got aren't good enough to ruin a season over.

Or option B, they're going to file for injunctions and make the SEC decide if it's going to enforce rules or not.

the NCAA comes after LSU and Kiffin. We need some positive PR


This wouldn't be a good thing.

This is going to turn into the entire conference vs lsu.

Who cares? None of them were even starters here. They were nice depth, but it'll save us a little $ anyway.

It's laughable though that Chambliss gets to simplely file a TRO AFTER being ruled ineligible by the NCAA

Again, what would they do? You can’t answer the question so keep deflecting.

I don’t give a damned whether these players play at LSU or any other school, but to insinuate you know the legal ramifications of a case that’s never been tried before shows how ignorant you are.

Which they would lose.

The universities agreed to the conditions.

They'd look like complete idiots if they backed a lawsuit suing them for what they agreed to.

Well Lane was just complaining that there wasn’t clarity and everyone else was doing it.

So maybe this will provide the clarity he desires. Time will tell.

You mean like when they agreed to the NCAA's conditions and are now taking the NCAA to the cleaners on literally anything?

What part of this statement are you not comprehending?

quote:

SEC presidents granted Greg Sankey "full and unlimited authority," which includes suspending a school from competition, sources tell @YahooSports.

In addition to that, league bylaws grant the commissioner powers to deem a player ineligible, suspend coaches/administrators, etc.


LSU's president is included in this statement.

In case you haven’t been here in awhile, that’s been the case since Kiffin was hired.

LSU has invested too much money in Kiffin, his staff and a $40,000,000 roster to simply lay down.
