this is in response to LSU filing a motion to dismiss in court today
Twitter Link

key takeaway is that the conference is still seeking its pound of flesh and the two sides are not yet in agreement

The SEC included the Governor as a defendant. Did they not expect the Attorney General to seek a dismissal? This isn't about football. This is about Tennessee and Georgia being pissed off that LSU was ahead of the game when it came to private equity.

They just need to throw them out already. It's clear they have no interest in playing even by the loosest of rules that the conference sets. Let LSU go and they can do whatever they want to as an independent. Win win for everyone.

Correct.

It's also about basketball and LSU in general.

The SEC can't name the school or the state as a defendant so they have to go after officials directly.

I'm surprised to see the SEC issue such a statement today because Louisiana's Senators hold the ultimate veto since the SEC cares so much about their Protect College Sports Act. Conference is going to have to choose. Either they can get that legislation passed or they can go after LSU. They can't do both and they know it.

Finebaum spouts a lot of emotional nonsense and clearly is all ate up with Kiffin but he did correctly observe that the real power in this negotiation lies with Senator Kennedy.

Odds are good the suit will get thrown out, either now or down the road on appeal. This is all just grandstanding.

Yet, somehow, no rules have been broken.

Is anyone still pretending to care about this?


All this does is enable people like Jeff Landry. You keep suing him with baseless lawsuits and he keeps picking up free wins.


Sankey is a moron. If this was any other school the sec rant would crucify Greg.

But some people's feelings got hurt so LSU must be punished. Some of these SEC schools officials are soft as hell.

I'm sure LSU and the state of LA are deeply disappointed the SEC didn't file their own to dismiss after LSU didn't roster the players and lowered the temperature.

Never thought I'd see an ugly divorce between LSU & the SEC, but man if that's not what's starting to unfold...
