MAC Commissioner is a bigger wimp than Sankey

Not long enough for Clemson

You still think this is about LSU.

No, never did but the media has certainly portrayed LSU as the villain

The real villain is the NCAA with their idiotic timing for granting blanket 5th year eligibility over the summer

This should have been resolved prior to the NFL draft so athletes could have all relevant information to make an educated decision regarding their path forward

Don't see how this hurts Louisiana

The LSU Tigers will replace the downtrodden New Orleans Saints in week one and assume the Saints' schedule

Goodell 'allegedly' said, "the state's not big enough to support two professional football franchises and with LSU/Baton Rouge having demonstrated a stronger desire to field a competitive product, the decision was simple"

The Bayou Bengals provide a larger fanbase, bigger stadium and a higher long-term upside due to enhanced revenue streams

The Tigers will need to waive approximately 60 players to get down to the 53-man active roster limit

Additionally, they will to have to restructure and negotiate down existing contracts to comply with the NFL's salary cap

It is anticipated that LSU head coach, Lane Kiffin will file a motion for a temporary restraining order (in Louisiana) on behalf of Tiger's players against the NFL to 'grandfather in' the Tiger's existing salary structure/cap for 2026 due to the timing and severity of the reductions

As of today, the Tiger's are estimated to be approximately $55-60 million over the cap ... and that's before rumored potential signings of Joe Burrow, Will Campbell, Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase

As eligible NFL players (class of 2022) clear waivers and sign with SEC teams, please provide updates for your respective schools

Don't blame the players or coaches, they're just trying to color inside the lines and follow the rules

The issue is that the lines are blurred and the rules change on a daily basis

As long as we're rewriting history, guess we'll start seeing schools claiming Heisman winners who weren't even invited to New York

The only thing worse than a history of football irrelevance is playing make believe

The IRS considers income.

Thus the IRS doesn't make a distinction between 500k paid to John Doe regardless if he's compensated by the Dallas Cowboys or Texas Longhorns ... correct?

If John Doe is traded from the Cowboys to the Saints, the IRS will still consider income earned ... correct?

If John Doe transfers from Texas to LSU, the IRS will still consider income earned ... correct?

If John Doe goes from the Cowboys to the Longhorns, the IRS will still consider income earned ... correct?

Once a professional, always a professional regardless of the employer

Do they alter their definition if someone changes employers?

The NCAA, affiliate conferences and member institutions have dug a deep hole

Under his (lack of) leadership

The once dominant SEC has been passed by the Big 10 both on the field and in revenue generation

Now it appears he's going to be a named plaintiff in multiple lawsuits along with the conference

Sad that Mike Slive isn't alive

Hope they collapse this entire charade
