It's why the conference is moving forward with the lawsuit now.
The amount of delusion at LSU is mind blowing.
You are in a conference. The conference has rules. You either be a member of the conference, or you frick off.
Very simple.

It's odd that you keep talking about penalties for actions, when no rules were broken.
Why do you insist LSU should be penalized for intent? Why even have rules if we're just going to penalize for intent?
Is this the freaking Minority Report?
Read the lawsuit or my first post in this thread.
In a nutshell, you can either be a member of the SEC or you can frick off.

Again, you’ve arrived at the conclusion that Sankey is better for Alabama than LSU is
Congratulations
The fact LSU fans think this is Sankey and not the rest of the conference only highlights the amount of extreme delusion you guys have.

The British were kicked out in 1812, so there is precedent for LSU to kick the SEC out of the Sugar Bowl.

OMG this OP is so stupid and you clearly didn't read my thread on this topic. TLDR - the SEC has essentially no case because their rules are contrary to what multiple courts across the country have ruled. LSU has not done anything wrong and the SEC is just trying to use public pressure to browbeat LSU into submitting to something that's in contempt of courts. The problem for the SEC is that LSU/Louisiana is not intimidated. They want the federal case to sit out there as a threat to LSU but Murrill is rightfully seeking to have it dismissed because it's laughable.
For someone calling everyone else stupid, you seem to have missed the central issue entirely. A court ruling against an eligibility restriction doesn't automatically invalidate every conference rule or eliminate the SEC's authority over its membership. Those are separate legal questions.
You keep insisting LSU did nothing wrong as though that settles whether the SEC has the right to enforce its membership agreements, including expulsion when warranted. It doesn't.
And citing unspecified court rulings while declaring the SEC has no case isn't much of a legal argument. Which rulings, and how exactly do they eliminate the SEC's contractual and associational rights?
You can dislike Sankey, defend LSU, and disagree with the eligibility rules all you want. None of that establishes that LSU can disregard its conference obligations without consequences.
The irony of calling everyone else stupid while failing to distinguish player eligibility from conference membership authority is pretty remarkable.

Of which, none were broken.
Yet LSU is still committing "wrong doings", in your mind.
So are we going by the rules or not?

I worry that Sankey, league officials, and member presidents may have a paper trail that could bring criminal charges of conspiracy and collusion against the players and possibly LSU.
Wow. Talk about jumping to the far end of the spectrum. None of that is a concern at all.

If LSU somehow has the authority to kick the SEC out of the Sugar Bowl, I'd love to hear how that works. Last I checked, LSU doesn't own the Sugar Bowl or decide which conferences participate. Apparently LSU fans think their school gets to dictate the rules for everybody else, even for a bowl game they don't control.

Reducing a federal lawsuit between a conference and one of its members to Sankey's hurt feelings is certainly one way to avoid addressing the actual legal questions. Sankey doesn't own the SEC, and this isn't his personal dispute. The conference has governing agreements and membership standards.
Whether LSU violated them is one question. Whether the SEC has the authority to enforce them, including expulsion is another. Apparently that's a distinction some of you are determined not to understand.

All of this is discoverable in the contempt filing from the players. If there are specific emails from university presidents stating that they specifically do not want these players rostered/playing, that opens them up personally to definite civil penalties if not criminal.

You do understand this is the conferences complaint against LSU to start with right?
That rather than you following the rules of the conference you think it should be up to the courts and that you can use the courts to prevent the SEC from enforcing it's own rules and standards.

Interesting choice of quotes, considering Dawson's whole point was that believing you did nothing wrong doesn't necessarily mean you fulfilled your obligations. That's pretty much the distinction I've been trying to explain throughout this thread. Thanks for making it for me.
