Seriously? The SEC is not LSU’s parent via its own dubious 1st Amendment filing stating it is a free association of members.

But the SEC's concern goes beyond the final outcome. It's also about how LSU responded to the rules and the conference's authority to enforce them. That's why eventual compliance doesn't necessarily settle the larger issue.
A court cannot rule based on conjecture or possible future behavior.

Sankey screwed all of this up when he allowed Chambliss to play via court order. It opened the door for other players to use the court system over rule the NCAA and SEC.

That is an accusation. It is not a fact.
Prove it.
It doesn't have to be been proven without a doubt, it only has to be proven to be probable.
And your coach telling people that's what you were going to do because "if you don't someone else will", then bringing the players on campus, leaving spots open for them and all the other actions makes it pretty damn probable.
But we'll see. I wouldn't be very confident if I was an LSU fan.
Every day it goes on the more I start leaning towards kicking LSU out. Which is fricking crazy to say, but then it's fricking crazy LSU is trying to pull this shite to start with.
Straight up lying to peoples face like that's not what you intended the whole time. You can all go frick off.
But sure, pretend this is all randomly happening to LSU if it makes you feel better.

I think you're overlooking the distinction between eventually complying and respecting the authority of the conference. I used a simple analogy a few weeks ago. When your parents tell you to do something, the expectation is that you do it when you're told, not after arguing about it and facing consequences. LSU ultimately complied, and that's fair to acknowledge. But the SEC's concern goes beyond the final outcome. It's also about how LSU responded to the rules and the conference's authority to enforce them. That's why eventual compliance doesn't necessarily settle the larger issue.
There's a rule in place, the SEC didn't have to do anything other than enforce their rule.

The entire post of the OP is based on misinformation…either ignorance or intentional dishonesty.
But it doesn’t matter. I know I can’t convince him by using the truth. And if that’s the case, then there’s no reason to argue. So I won’t.
Just kick LSU out. We dare you. We believe you won’t. We believe you are afraid of the consequences if you do. Your false pride has made you write a check that you can’t cash. You are holding a losing hand, you know it, but instead of cutting your losses you keep making the same impotent threats.
Of course LSUnis going to sue the SEC if it is expelled. It will win. The SEC has operated in an inequitable manner compared to other similar / worse events.
The Arkansas coach had two titles forfeited.
The Ole Miss coach is a domestic abuser.
The Alabama coach PLAYED a player in SEC games that was actually a professional.
If the member institutions want to defend the application of its bylaws against that civil suit then just do it. LSU can’t stop it. What are you waiting for?
You drew a line in the sand with a made up never before meaningful distinction between a player in training camp vs. one who just attended tryouts. It was an empty complaint. It was shortsighted. And it contradicts how the conference has operated in many, many other situations.
Do it.
You won’t. We know it. And we are laughing at you.

Then why are you so concerned if you think the SEC has no case?
Posted on 10/14/26 at 1:29 pm to theballguy
Not concerned in the least bit. Would love to see this go to discovery. Things would get very interesting.

The problem here is the parents are telling one kid to act right and letting the others do whatever they want.

The dishonesty is hilarious. The SEC sued LSU…not vice versa.

The conference can kick LSU out any time it wants to, they just need two thirds of the remaining members to vote them out.
The SEC seems to be seeking the authority to kick members out without that vote, why is that? Certainly, the SEC isn't using this case to seize more authority from the member institutions, that definitely isn't it.
Do you even read the lawsuit?

Oof. That Missouri ruling is going to complicate the SEC’s argument.

So we're back to throwing people in jail because the officer "thinks" they intended to speed.
Never mind we already have an entire structure in place to handle people who actually do speed, with penalties for doing so.

You're still focusing on whether LSU actually broke a rule. The larger legal question is whether the SEC has the authority to remove a member that violates its rules. Those are two separate issues.
LSU's eventual compliance doesn't settle the question of conference authority. The SEC is seeking to establish its right to enforce membership standards, including expulsion when warranted. Whether LSU has done enough to justify expulsion is a separate matter.

LSU attempted to bring former NFL players back into college football despite SEC rules prohibiting it
Cool. Now let's look at Alabama basketball
At least the LSU / NFL player situation had legit questions about it because of the NCAA's 5-for-5 rule change. The LSU players argued that they never would have tried to go pro if they had another year of NCAA eligibility. And it was a judge in Colorado who initially granted a TRO for a group of players from the 2022 class.
Now lets look at Bama basketball. They roster a player who left college early to declare for the NBA draft, played 2 full seasons in the NBA G-League, and signed contracts with multiple NBA teams in that span. When has there EVER been a situation where a player could do any of that and then try to come back to play college ball 2 years later? There was no NCAA eligibility rule change that made this even questionable....yet Bama still rostered him and played him in 5 or 6 games before his TRO got overturned. If LSU deserves to get kicked out, then Bama should be right there with us.
