Except that the engineering department and faculty was never involved in building the bonfire - which was a huge part of the problem
I know of no engineering grad students or faculty who were involved in bonfire. However, the last time I saw 30 people in the back of a pickup in the US were A&M students heading to cut down trees. Though I have seen 10 people on a motorcycle in the Philippines.

I was an engineer while down there during the 90s and remember actually talking with people about how dangerous it was. I never participated in that, though the Engineering building was near the bonfire site. The only negative experiences I had at A&M was actually with the Engineering faculty.
Just a few of the protests at University of Texas.

Whoever downvoted your comment needs to rethink their life and gain some empathy. It's alarming that it has to be used 800 times but at the same time, it's a great initiative they took to put a free Narcan vending machine there.
A lot of this is coming from China suppliers through the cartels. At what point is them purposely addicting our youth and killing them grounds for us to send in troops? We're talking 48,000 to 73,000 deaths per year.
Crimson and Maroon are only 12 degree apart. Pretty close!
With numbers like these, I'm going to have to get my grandkids on the football field when I have them. My kids got National Merit Scholars and they don't really get much from that. The money looks to be in football.
Shouldn't "Motorcycle wreck" be in quotes?

I'm not amazed it was pulled off. Texas A&M students do a lot of volunteering and are good with organization. And patriotism and duty is an important core of A&M values. I left in 1998. When my son was choosing a college, I told him Texas A&M in part because of this. He's now a freshman. College Station looks very little like the small town it did in 1998. Freebird's is still there, burrito is on my list for the next visit.
re: How does the rest of the SEC feel about Sankey acting in direct defiance of NCAA rules?
Posted by tpatten on 9/10/26 at 12:48 pm to SEC Doctor
The real issue is that everything is changing in college football faster than the NCAA and conferences are reacting. The Southeastern Conference adopted strict policies prohibiting athletes who signed professional contracts or joined pro rosters from playing in the conference, threatening severe penalties for non-compliance. But that left the loophole nation-wide for players in minicamps.
LSU blatantly took it a step further and got an exception just for them.
Previously we were talking about the conferences replacing the NCAA. Now, are we also planning to get rid of the conferences and have every team for itself? Is that what LSU really wants?

You played a former NFL player after the rule was passed knowing full well what the penalties can be.
You just arent getting attention because Lane Kiffin is stealing it for his antics, doesn't mean you don't have a reckoning coming when that settles down.
Rules weren't broken. Rules should be changed to address it. Missouri's situation is still at the discretion of the SEC on whether to levy any penalties.
Remember Alabama played a former 3 year pro player before LSU and Missouri ever did.

Rookie camp player played 7 snaps. He’s ineligible based on the SEC’s own wording.
While I agree this should be against SEC's rules, playing him was not against SEC rules. SEC and NCAA both need to address this. Mizzou is still party to SEC penalties, while LSU made sure to go to court to make sure they could get around SEC rules which they knew they were breaking. Big difference.
quote:
Missouri just played an NFL player in direct violation of the rules LSU is being taken to the shed over even though they didn’t roster or play them, your program needs to answer for that.
Missouri isn't in violation of SEC rules with their roster. They also didn't go into a court in Missouri to override SEC rules. If Missouri breaks the rules, SEC can still levy heavy penalties on Missouri. Thus SEC is still the organization that they answer to. For LSU, they used the courts to be able to break SEC rules, signed players from other SEC teams, and there's not a darn thing SEC can do about it without another court order. That's a big difference.
Now, if you compare this to Kentucky going to court to get Mitchell, that is more comparable, but Kentucky judge didn't take away all the power of the SEC. SEC said Mitchell cannot play for Kentucky and thus he's going back to Missouri. Now, if Missouri had done that and he ended up at Missouri, I'd consider that dirty tactics. But they did not.
An Alabama judge will rule in favor of the SEC.
Because the SEC’s federal suit focuses on its First Amendment right of "expressive association," a victory would legally establish that a state court cannot force a private association to violate its own rules
1. The Immediate "Banning" of Former NFL Players: The SEC is asking for a preliminary and permanent injunction to block LSU from rostering or playing athletes who signed NFL contracts. If the SEC wins, Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris will be permanently ineligible to play for LSU. Lane Kiffin would be forced to permanently close the two roster spots he has been holding open for them.
2. Implementation of Enormous Financial Penalties: A federal victory grants the SEC the legal right to enforce its newly established bylaws without state interference. The SEC could immediately dock LSU up to 50% of its entire football operating budget as a fine for defying the league's rules and attempting to roster professional players. Doubtful it will be that much.
I highly doubt SEC would kick LSU out.

LSU forced the SEC's hand on this one. They sued in Louisiana court and got the judge to rule that the SEC couldn't administer any penalties on LSU for breaking SEC rules on the matter thus giving LSU special treatment. LSU not playing the players doesn't undo the damage that was done. If you notice, they expanded the lawsuit to include Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill as a defendant.
At what point do you ever allow one university to use courts in their jurisdiction in order to get favorable treatment? The only way to undo that is to use the courts elsewhere and you have to stop it right when it starts.
