Will this still be newsworthy if lsu gets upset this weekend?

If it’s obvious that lsu won’t be competing for a title this season by losing to a hapless Clemson squad, will this story lose all its steam? Seems most of the issue (according to the Tiger faithful) is everyone is scared or lsu winning the title and so has to find a reason to punish them? So if lsu loses that goes away.

It depends on if LSU plays any of the players in question. If they hold them out and lose, the pressure will be on for them to win and win big, so they will possibly press the former NFL guys into action and that would certainly bring thins to a head once more.

I'm sorry did we all of a sudden get Aaron Donald to come out of retirement to play on our defensive line? The players aren't even going to be starters. They're rotational pieces...I swear the narrative some of y'all are pushing is insane.

It's a mute point. Not an LSU fan, but they skull frick Clemson tomorrow night. Clemson might not even be a .500 team.

Y'all? What narrative am I pushing?

Losing a game is not going to put more pressure on Kiffin to play Wright or Harris. They are rotational pieces lmfao. They didn't bring back Start studded players. No offense to those players but they are to provide depth and be part of the rotation not be a starter like Cole Hutson.

Yes.

People will slowly start to realize what's going on soon. The court case will basically determine if conferences have any autonomy.

It's not an eligibility case; it was only triggered by them.

Here's what AI has to say about it.

If the SEC loses its federal lawsuit against LSU, it would trigger a massive shift in how college sports are governed, effectively creating a "Wild West" for player eligibility

Because the SEC’s legal strategy relies on its First Amendment right of expressive association—arguing that a conference cannot be forced to associate with conduct (playing ex-pros) that violates its core values—a loss would have immediate and long-term consequences:

1. LSU Can Legally Field Ex-NFL Players

The most immediate outcome is that LSU (and potentially other Louisiana schools) would be legally cleared to play former professional athletes, such as players cut from NFL training camps. Players like Zxavian Harris and Dae'Quan Wright

2. SEC Penalties Against LSU Become Unenforceable

The SEC recently enacted heavy internal penalties for schools that roster ex-pros, including suspending coaches like Lane Kiffin for half a season and stripping 50% of the athletic department's budget. If the SEC loses the federal case, a judge would grant a permanent injunction prohibiting the conference from levying these massive financial and competitive punishments against LSU.

3. Total Loss of Conference Rule Enforcement

A loss would set a dangerous precedent: state laws and local court injunctions would officially trump conference bylaws.

Conferences would lose the power to enforce uniform roster limits, academic standards, or transfer rules.

If a conference tries to punish a member school, that school can simply run to a friendly local state judge to get an injunction blocking the punishment.

At which point, the only thing that could remotely save college football would be congress passing a bill giving the NCAA exemptions.

I dont want you guys to lose. It’ll make the conference look bad
