How would they even think they can forfeit if the conference complies with the court order.

Says a poster named wadewilson. You are a loser just reading your username. Please, continue to push. I’d love to see the rest of the members put LSU back in line.
The entire CFB universe hates you. And you idiots revel in it

You didn’t answer my question. If an injunction is given on Thursday, what can a member of the SEC do besides forfeit? The SEC has already expressed they will comply with the court order. Now the SEC members are being asked to take action? What can they do outside of forfeiting?
Disney wouldn’t be excited about losing four games, but in the big scheme of things, that’s a drop in the bucket and not something they would want to get crossways with the SEC over.

They conceded all power to Sankey. It would be a meaningless vote.

Good luck, after you just blew it up in bad faith and dropped one of your biggest brands, which you will be facing lawsuits over and dragging any potential media partners in with you.
You think ESPN would risk letting the SEC go because they dropped their 5th most watched team in the conference last year? Bless your heart.

You think this is a realistic scenario AFTER an injunction, when multiple other similar injunctions have been filed that the SEC has not fought, and you're a lawyer?
Yikes.

And you know for certain that would not be considered a breach of contract in the tv rights deal?

You think the SEC can actually drop LSU.
Bless your retarded heart.

This is hilariously ironic considering I only spoke on the TV deal, not on whether the SEC would/could drop LSU.
Given how low your comprehension skills are, you just might’ve actually graduated from LSU.

As state entities, they can only be sued if immunity is waived by the Texas legislature (or there is some statutory waiver in place, but none of those apply here).
And you know for certain that would not be considered a breach of contract in the tv rights deal?
Disney could sue the SEC, but they won’t do that because they like the sweet deal they have with the SEC and want to keep it that way in the future.

I would bet one kajillion trillion dollars that LSU isn't getting expelled from the conference for this lol
holy hyperbole
I wouldn't bet on it, but teams and conferences have to nut up at some point before the people tuning in decide it's not worth it anymore

ESPN/ABC contract with conference would be adversely affected.
This is nothing more than posturing
This. Removing 9 sec games would put the sec in breach of contract costing billions with a b. No one is doing any of that dumb shite

The SEC can't expel LSU over this. They'd lose the television deal.
So you are saying all it will take to renegotiate the TV contract is voting LSU out of the SEC?

Buddy...........the TV deal would only change BECAUSE the SEC voted to kick LSU out in this ridiculous scenario. So there's no conversation about the television deal without first acknowledging that the SEC has the ability to just drop LSU immediately.

As a public state university, Texas A&M has sovereign immunity under Texas law, which generally protects it from various lawsuits, but immunity does not specifically grant them an exemption or special status regarding ESPN broadcasts, media contracts, or journalistic reporting

Keep making yourself look silly. It’s been pretty entertaining from y’all melting all day.
