So LSU friends, I would like to clear something up. This was brought to my attention last night.

This is not about players or eligibility. This is about much more.

Many voting members feel like Landry has been calling the shots at LSU since at least last fall. Kiffin, Ausberry, Wade, and Rousse were all his picks. The idea for the private equity deal was pushed by him. The SEC believes that Landry has weaponized the Louisiana justice system to fight the SEC. The judge who ruled Luis eligible? The judge who ruled Wright and Harris eligible? Both Louisiana judges. LSU fans themselves boasted and bragged that this is just how things are in Louisiana.

Even now that the shite has hit the fan, instead of being conciliatory the head of the Louisiana justice system, the Louisiana AG, made a public statement just yesterday promising to fight the SEC.

Many of the SEC voting members do not believe a member can be allowed to stay who has weaponized an entire state against the other 15 members.

Texas Tech made a test run. The Big 12 slapped them into place. Texas Tech waived the white flag.

LSU on the other hand has indicated they will fight. If so this will end so badly for them.


77 posts yesterday ladies and gents. That's seventy-seven like 10x7+7.

Captdalton is a TD intern. Full time.

On pace for even more today.

Did you click his profile and actually count the posts? I guess that makes you the TD auditor

Yes. Took me about 2 minutes. I'm just fascinated with this guy and cajunbama, AHM21 and some of these other people who have the time to do this.

craptondalton is no idiot. He writes well. His logic is fatally skewed by his complete inability to remain remotely neutral but he's obviously not an idiot.

Maybe he just made it big in PE or something and has time to do this from his boat. None of my business but I can't help but thinking that some of these personalities are Rant employees that are paid to stir up shite.

I just can't imagine how angry someone has to be to be so negative all the time toward another school and very curious how it turned out to be 100% focused on a single school.

I mean, I am certainly no Aggie fan and want to beat the hell out of them every year but I could never invest so much of my life into what essentially amounts to hate journaling into a computer all day. Maybe it's like one of those rage room type things.

I'd love to meet the guy. I want to know his backstory. It'd be a fascinating psychological study.

They also went before a Knoxville judge trying to an extra year for last year's starting QB Joey Aguilar and was shot down by their hometown courts...You failed to mention that....And name another hometown judge in the SEC that shot down one of their own the past several years?


I didn't "fail to mention" anything. What you said is irrelevant to the thread, which said LSU had "weaponized" the state of Louisiana. I pointed out that the state of Tennessee sued the NCAA for investigating UTk and wondered if the state of Tennessee was "weaponized" too.

As for Aguilar being "shot down", I don't think Tennessee even wanted Aguilar back. They had two young QB's on roster and wanted to move on to the future. But whether they did or didn't, the state wasn't a party involved in Aguilar's case and the state definitely wasn't shot down on the case that they cared enough to bring to court.

Coming from a bama fan that has had multiple players get away with several crimes due to their own justice system, this is hilarious.

This is so profound and yet so stupid.

FYI, that is how it works. The governor appoints these people and trustees and they always has had a hand in the running of the institution. You really think JBE did not pick Tate. if you do, then you are naive at best, stupid at worse.

It is not corruption because a governor made a decision you disagree with...

Let’s look at the actual math regarding the SEC/LSU drama. People are acting like John Kennedy, Mike Johnson, and Steve Scalise can just single-handedly dismantle the SEC. Louisiana only has 8 total members in Congress. When it comes down to a legislative fight, it’s Louisiana’s 8 reps against the combined political power of every other SEC state. Lawmakers from Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Tennessee aren't going to let Louisiana politicians burn down the conference or hurt their own flagship universities.Furthermore, the idea that Governor Landry has a golden ticket to the White House on this doesn't add up. The President has been highly vocal about NIL and wanting college sports to return to an amateur model, making him a major proponent of the Protect College Sports Act (PCSA). The executive branch isn't going to bail LSU out here.

So you’re scared?

Because LSU found loopholes?

Maybe you should ask your two. Ineligible “pro” players on your team…

“Why are you guys so upset? I was never going to punch you”
This is such a BS comparison. Here, I'll correct it for you.

NCAA/SEC - "You can't sign former pro players to your roster".

LSU and the rest of the SEC - "Okay, that's fine".

NCAA - "Oh no, we messed up and a bunch of students sued us for screwing them out of another year of eligibility!"

5for5 Students - "Hey, LSU, we want to play for you" (or, if you prefer, "Hey LSU, we selected your NIL bid from the pile of offers from other schools)..

SEC/Sankey - YOU CAN'T SIGN FORMER PRO PLAYERS.

LSU/Kiffin - "What do we do? We already told these kids they could play and the TRO is the law of the land right now".

SEC/Sankey - YOU CAN'T ROSTER OR PLAY FORMER PRO PLAYERS BECAUSE, uh, REASONS, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE LAW SAYS!

LSU/Kiffin - "This sucks. These kids already sued the NCAA and won for denying them their final year of eligibility. They'll probably sue us too if we retract our offer."

5for5 Students - "Hey, La Courts, doesn't the SEC have to follow the law since they're a part of the NCAA? What gives? Texas and SCe got to roster their 545 players, why not us?"

Other SEC schools - shhh, don't look at us and the players we rostered, look at LSU and all the terrible things they're doing!. And, oh, OUR players aren't the same under the SEC rules...."

La. Courts - "Get bent, Sankey. Enforce the rules evenly across all schools. And BTW, what, exactly, are those rules and how do you define a "professional"? Please remember you're under oath...."

Sankey - (sorry, no quotes just a bunch of mumbling and dissembling showing his absolute ignorance of the rules he says he's trying to enforce. Then queue the cloud of dust as he beats feet out of BR faster than an SR-71).

La Courts - "hey 545 students, here's your TRO against the SEC. You're clear to play".

LSU/Kiffin - "That's cool, I think? Are we sure about this? Maybe for now we follow the most current court ruling and see what happens."

LSU/Kiffin - "Hey, I have an idea: Let them enroll, hold two spots open just in case, but comply with the SEC rules for now".

Sankey - KNEEL BEFORE ZOD, PUNY LSU HUMANS, AND ACKNOWLEDGE MY RIGHT TO DICTATE YOUR EXISTANCE!

LSU/Kiffin - "Uh, okay. We won't roster or play the players in question, but don't expect us to appreciate your high-and-might tone. Have some snark for your trouble."

Sankey - LSU MUST PAY FOR THEIR CRIMES AGAINST ME, er, THE SEC! ASSEMBLE, SEC BRETHREN, AND CAST THEM FROM YOUR MIDST. THEY ARE A CANCER BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT ABOUT POSSIBLY, MAYBE, BREAKING THE RULES AT A FUTURE DATE!"

Other SEC schools: "Yeah, kick the bums out - pull 'yer hoods out of the dustbin and fire up those crosses, folks, we're gonna burn them out!"

Sankey - (snickering in the background, he can taste the blood now)

LSU - "Hey, what did we do? You said we couldn't roster or play those guys, and we didn't. We even said we'd abide by the SEC rules and bylaws, which we did. What's going on?"

Sankey - YOU WERE THINKING ABOUT BREAKING THE RULES, PUNY SCHOOL. HOW DARE YOU QUESTION MY DESIGNS UPON YOUR PROGRAM AND INSTITUTION!

La Gov. and others: "Hey Sankey, buzz off, and Geaux Tigers!"

Sankey - SEE, EVEN THEIR STATE GOVERNMENT IS BEHIND THE CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT THESE TERRIBLE THOUGHT CRIMES! KICK THEM OUT!

LSU - "Geez, WTF?"

Does that help?

Are you friggin' serious? You may want to go think about your comment and how that has applied to schools in other states!

Its about whether or not the SEC has a right to self governance outside the SEC or are they as toothless as the NCAA and that is pretty much it. This is to see where the SEC stands on its future bid to break from the NCAA

Didn’t Chambliss and Ole Miss do the same ?


Ole Miss people will try to tell you that Chambliss only sued the NCAA, not the SEC.

What they leave out is that the Louisiana players lawsuit was originally only against the NCAA. The plaintiffs' lawyers only amended the suit to add the SEC as a defendant because the SEC basically said they didn't give a frick about whatever the judge's ruling was going to be and that a school who added those players would face harsh penalties or expulsion, even if the court ruled the players eligible.

If the SEC had done the same thing while the Chambliss case was still in court and threatened Ole Miss with sanctions for keeping Chambliss on the roster, you can bet your arse that Chambliss' lawyers would have added the SEC to their lawsuit too.

Really? My sweet summer child.

Two things. 1). We are a land of laws, those things involve courts, not some despotic commish. If the commissioner of the SEC, which participates in NCAA athletics is ignorant to NCAA rulings…are you willing to just accept his judgement?

2.). If you think the 10 red state governors that have public institutions in the SEC haven’t already been contacted by Landry and subsequently decided to walk almost lock step, you are kidding yourself. Yeah 1 or 2 may deviate, but just to grandstand. Nothing is happening. The exposure to ridiculous legal action is not anything any of them want to deal with.

Scared of what? Losing a football game? I'm an Arkansas fan, I am not scared of losing sir. I expect it.

LSU is trying to find every loop hole they can and are pushing limits where the rules are obscure.

I dont give two shits about them. If the SEC says they cant play I am fine with that. Hell I think all the schools need to shitcan the "pro" players.
