I would assume the BIG would pay just as much money as the SEC?
Talking about the B1G who also has a rule against playing former NFL players?
I don’t think this results in LSU outside the SEC, but if it does they 100% won’t be in a P4 conference. It is basically athletic department suicide if pushed that far.

this time neither Conference USA nor the Sun Belt specifically prohibit pro players. So there is always hope
This makes no sense. LSU won’t have any professional players next year when they’re looking for a new conference, therefore they will qualify for all conferences.

You honestly believe that neither the 10 or 12 would offer LSU membership?

Spot on, I used AI to quickly pull the institutional data and here’s what it has to say: LSU to the Big Ten is an absolute myth. LSU fans think football money overrides everything, but the Big Ten is an academic alliance first and a sports league second. While the Big Ten distributes $1.37 billion in athletic revenue, its schools pull in over $19.6 billion in annual research funding, meaning academics bring in 14 times more money than sports. Big Ten presidents control expansion and won't admit a school that dilutes that research brand. LSU is a non-starter because its four-year graduation rate is just 50% (compared to 70–80% for most of the B1G), it lacks elite AAU research membership (which 17 of 18 B1G schools have), and it ranks #169 nationally (instantly making it the absolute academic basement of the conference behind #158 Nebraska). LSU is a powerhouse, but its institutional profile is dead on arrival for Big Ten presidents.

5 for 5 had no effect on him and he’d be out of eligibility based on the new rules too
Ok cool. It’s almost like I never mentioned that rule.

What I find amazing is that LSU is actually willing to die on this hill, if it ever comes to that.. even if it was Mahomes, it wouldn’t be worth it.. but here we are…
