re: The SEC Should Seriously Consider Kicking LSU Out

You're confusing the fact that LSU never rostered the players with the larger issue of the SEC's authority to enforce its eligibility rules. Those are two separate questions.

---

Probably because your title is talking about kicking LSU out for.....reasons, while you're also admitting they never broke any rules.

I hope LSU request a motion to have the schools vote on either kicking LSU out or not kicking them out. if voted to remain a member all this is dropped. If not then cya.

Put their money where their mouth is.

Sigh. How many times can people keep saying wrong stuff? What's the o/u

You're bringing on yourself by being obstinate

Sigh ..... another response, another opportunity to explain what I've supposedly gotten wrong, and another failure to do so.

Does the SEC have the authority to establish and enforce eligibility rules for its member institutions, subject to applicable law, or doesn't it? That's a straightforward question.

If you believe a Louisiana court ruling permanently eliminated that authority, cite the language establishing it. Otherwise, you're arguing against a position I never took.

And blaming someone else for your inability to disagree without personal insults says considerably more about your argument than mine.

Sure, me and the other posters on tRant will get right on that.

Let me know when Mizzou & Ole Miss get enjoined in the federal suit.

Did you know Bediako never got an injunction?

Did you know the only reason Oats did not face consequences after the fact (even after the NCAA won)… was the fact Bediako played under a TRO?

Did you know the players who wanted to join LSU were granted an injunction?

Did you know an injunction is a step further than a TRO?

Did you know the SEC writing a new bylaw doesn’t change the law law?

Well, now you know. Try to stop being a dipshit for 5 seconds.

So LSU did nothing wrong, got dragged to court, followed the SECs rules and got dragged into another lawsuit, is getting dragged into federal court by the conference despite following the rules and you're saying this is all somehow LSUs fault. Explain it to me infidel

AGAIN, at no point did LSU do this. Not one bit

Why wont he reply to that?

Interesting isn’t it? He certainly found time to reply quite a bit to almost every other post in the thread… Let’s try posting it again.

The SEC filed the lawsuit when it became apparent LSU was going to move on with rostering and playing those players.

LSU balked at the last minute as a result and now LSU is trying to convince the world it was their intent the entire time.

Everything you just said is wrong

to "do something about it".

Wait, who is telling the SEC to do something about it?

quote:

You're contradicting yourself. You acknowledge the SEC has the authority to expel a member, then declare it powerless because it hasn't done so.

---

You just don't understand. There's nothing stopping the SEC other than ramifications of doing it.

First of all, if it held a vote, the vote would fail. The SEC knows this so it won't do it because the egg on its face would be too much.

Also, if it did, LSU would rightfully sue in civil court to protect its rights as a member of the SEC. You think of organizations like the SEC as top down as if the headquarters hold all of the power. In truth, the bylaws are written very specifically, and members have tons of rights. This suit would probably be in the multi-billion dollar range.

The SEC would have to defend its acts up until now and justify it's impartial acts. It would have to acknowledge it's public campaign on the subject, it's communications on what its intent was in some of these acts, in particular how it relates to the Protect College Sports Act.

You want to know how to take down a conference? That's how. The SEC doesn't want any of that attention.

Choosing not to exercise that authority isn't the same as lacking it. And whether those players were properly classified as professionals is a separate eligibility question.

You can divorce your wife because she doesn't put the toilet seat down the way you like...but you won't because she's taking half your shite. You have the authority. But, you don't have the power. The classification of the players is only relevant to point out how absolutely dumb of a hill this was for the SEC to play the expulsion card. The players in question NEVER PLAYED A SINGLE GAME...and one of them NEVER EVEN PRACTICED A SINGLE PRACTICE.

But, as you said, the authority for the SEC still remains. It should expel LSU anyway...inspite of the facts...inspite of the monetary fallout of doing it...inspite of the weak strategic position it puts you in relative to the Super Conference reorganization.

It won't. And, I'm laughing at you because I know it won't.
