This isn't about riding elephant dick. It's about the facts of the matter. They're completely different situations.

These retards are incapable of understanding how when Lane Kiffin recruited people to sue the NCAA that he personally fricked up. LSU is not done paying for his frick up either. It won't matter how many whataboutisms you throw at the wall, none of them will stick. LSU will be hit with LoIC. The melt will be one for the record books.


I think you are leaving out the part that ESPN and the public want to see LSU/Kiffin play these teams on a weekly basis. Suspending Kiffin hurts the league and ESPN. If you are going to suspend a guy you had better be able to define a “Pro Player”.

Like I said, I think it's far more likely that Alabama was involved in that situation than LSU was involved in this one.

your attention seeking coach pretty much admitted to what LSU was doing in his interviews, then LSU tried to act like nobody could stop them while mocking the system itself while also trying to create new standards for the entire SEC via the court system.

Did Ole Miss do all that?

No. They didn't have to. They were treated fairly and the conference respected the court"s actions.

But, what Ole Miss did do is have a head coach threaten to burn down college football if anyone came after him or the school. He also basically admitted to the cheating in his statement.

Alabama actually did break the rules and put the player on the court for 5 games. Nothing happened to them. Neither the NCAA or SEC ever penalized them in any way.

LSU got virtually the same legal shield they did.

I get that the SEC decided to finally bone up and go nuclear. How convenient they showed little backbone when the school in their own backyard did some wild shite not even a year ago.

Longstanding rules, my arse.

It would actually be fun to see this get litigated so the SEC would have to defend how their completely toothless reaction to the Bediako situation while threatening the nuclear option with LSU.

I have a hunch today's continuance turns into this never getting to a courtroom. They don't want that mess playing out in a courtroom. The nuclear option worked as a deterrent and that's all anyone has really learned from this.

"Regardless of the legal enforceability of that agreement."

... and now we know why the NCAA is constantly losing these lawsuits.

We will enforce OUR rules, the law be damned.

It's pretty interesting that they let Bediako play for 5 games while only managing an affidavit as a response.

Yet, LSU was sued and threatened with expulsion, before even rostering a single player. Not only was the response different, BUT the SEC ALSO went completely nuclear at the possibility of LSU just rostering the players, much less playing them.

If this is the case where the SEC decided to end it once and for all, what keeps them from simply creating their new rule, stating the penalties, and then penalizing LSU if they break the rule? Those were very stiff penalties, and then there was the possibility of the CFP committee getting involved as well. I don't believe LSU rosters the players at that point.

The fact that SEC immediately sued and then jumped to expulsion talk, before the rule was even broken, makes me believe they aren't very confident that any of this would stand under actual scrutiny.

I do think Boared could be correct. I don't think LSU is out of the woods on potential penalties.

I agree with both of you, though not by merit of actual guilt. This conference desperately wants to punish LSU for something, although it isn't exactly clear what.

The question is whether LSU accepts penalties for seemingly violating no rules, or calls the SEC's bluff and forces them to expel the Tigers.

You mean like when they put in a request to the NCAA for eligibility before he filed?

Everyone likes Ole Miss and hates LSU is what it amounts to?

Ya for alot of us I think we could get behind the rules applying to everyone, instead of just us.

Chambliss is playing his 6th year right? Under a TRO for a medical reason when medical redshirts are no longer recognized? The NCAA says hes not eligible.

Sark has a guy that went to not one but two minicamps? Not playing him but hes actually rostered?

SC got a guy too.

I think all these guys should play or none of them should.

It either applies to all of us or none of us. Thats why they pulled the federal case. No leg to stand on when it comes to this shite when it gets down to the merits.

They are going to have to defend it in the case the players are going to file against them.

LSU was ordered by the BR judge to add the 2 players to the roster. They didn't. LSU is in violation of the judge's order, not SEC or NCAA.

Kiffin recruited people to sue the NCA


Serious question, "recruiting people to sue", ok sure, I totally get why why pissed Sankey off. I get the LOIC accusation.

What is genuinely don't understand, is how getting a guy to sue for eligibility is worse than actually playing that guy.

I mean, Ole Miss and Missouri and others are actually playing the guys.

And all those other lawsuits, are you telling me that those schools waited until the athletes got a TRO before they talked to them? No way, they had positions open, NIL money in place.

Their attorneys have already said they’re suing Sankey and the SEC for this. The judge called it collusion for a reason.
