That’s the difference between LSU and A&M. They shite their pants after beating a bad LSU team. Most LSU fans seem content to win but aren’t overly excited.

The SEC seems offended that LSU responded to a lawsuit with the standard legal response to a lawsuit. That’s like complaining that someone brought a glove to a baseball game. SEC uses legal finagling to sidestep prohibitions to file a lawsuit against a member. A suit that most legal experts agree has little likelihood of success. Now, the SEC cries about the defendants motion to dismiss. This motion to dismiss is a routine first response in civil litigation, especially when the defendants believe the plaintiff lacks jurisdiction, standing, a live controversy, proper venue, or a legally valid claim, this is common and strategically sensible. the conference says the filing came while the parties were negotiating a possible resolution, this is also an infantile response. If dismissal is the most likely outcome, a legal team would be remiss not to file. LSU files a routine first response to a suit that was brought by novel and probably illegitimate means. Remember, the suit is about damages the SEC may suffer if LSU does something LSU has announced it does not intend to do.



Mothafricking this.


The SEC filed a lawsuit… and is upset when LSU has the gall to defend themselves with fairly standard pleadings. Honestly frick the SEC. Bitches of the whiniest order, along with anyone who supports them.
Texas dickriding 2025 Indiana… in September of 2026. Weird but ok.
Then yall should have been happy when he left, right?

Again, only a shyster, low rent attorney would make a claim like this with no evidence to back it up. Do you think the SEC, with its immense wealth, hires low rent attorneys?


You tell me. They were too dumb to realize you can’t bring 1983 claims against state entities. And every independent analysis I’ve seen of the SEC’s “first amendment” claims have NOT been favorable.
Yep. I’ve posted a few times about it. Lost the little I had in the Great Recession of 2008.

Was living out west in a town that was hit HARD. I literally didn’t have me enough money to move. I strung together part time jobs, was finally able to get a full time job (kept the part time one) after a couple of years. Took another year or two to save up enough money and make a plan to move back to Louisiana.

Once I got here I was starting from scratch with zero connections. Also had my savings stolen during the move. I was going to try and find something decent, but I took a backup job with family. It paid low but hours weren’t bad gave me time to heal mentally.

Finally got to point where I was ready to go to law school, which was always plan. Worked full time and went to night school. Between work and school I was putting in 70-100 hours/week for 4 years. Did well in school and got hired quickly. Pay is ok but experience is unbeatable.

The worst part for me was the lost years. It cost me about 10 years. I’m in my mid-40s now and have a shitload of student debt and zero assets.
Hilarious that the SEC thinks they’re above the law. Holy fricking hubris. They aren’t done losing either.

Also where’d everyone go???

Continued by plaintiff? I thought the judge was gonna rule the Sec had a federal right to kick lsu out of the conference…
quote:

LSU's roster is full. There is no case or controversy. And no longer any standing.


Agreed, I was only addressing the prohibition on advisory opinions since I hadn’t seen it addressed.
Federal courts are constitutionally prohibited from issuing advisory opinions. For a court to rule, there has to be a real controversy between parties. A “party” is a person or entity who is properly included in the suit.

Since the SEC dismissed LSU and the Board from the lawsuit, LSU as an entity is no longer officially a part of the lawsuit.

Therefore it’s likely the SEC no longer has grounds to obtain their declaratory judgment that they have the “first amendment right” to remove LSU from the conference.

The SEC had to amend their original complaint because they brought 1983 claims against an entity, which is prohibited. Now it’s likely the new claim is prohibited because they dismissed LSU. But tell me again how the SEC knows what they’re doing.
Yeah LSU wouldn’t want to be independent. Although they may not have a choice if the SEC boots them. I think the chance of LSU going independent on purpose is near zero. The ACC or Big 12 would be the obvious landing spots.

Or y’all backed down and got in line. If the SEC has federal authority to kick teams out, all Sankey has to do is say “this is your one warning. Do it again and you’re fricked”.


Holy shite no… the amount of yall who don’t understand the pathetic federal lawsuit.

There’s no blanket “federal” right to terminate a business relationship without being subject to potential damages. Nothing in the SEC’s suit would “grant” them any authority they don’t already have. It’s a pr stunt to manipulate the masses and grab headlines, and it’s working.

You think the $17b enterprise is just winging this lol


Ummm yeah. As evidenced by the shitty federal petition. That’s why they had to amend - so many errors in the first one. And it’s still shite.

Yall are playing an ACTUAL INELIGIBLE PLAYER. You might want to take your hurt feelings and sit this one out.

We don’t know what kind of evidence they have. But it stands to reason it’s something that hasn’t been released to the public if every damn program is willing to go behind LSU’s back and orchestrate a meeting to determine the future existence of a founding member in this conference.


You’re giving the SEC waaaaaay too much credit. The sec’s federal complaint was full of errors. It’s a poorly run organization and even if peace is made by the end of the week, they’ve done damage with their hysterics.

It’s hilarious watching LSU fans bitch about a Chambliss lawsuit then turn around and say they will sue the SEC into oblivion. Complete hypocrites.


Ole Miss fan thinks LSU fans are the hypocrites??? Wow.

The SEC screwed up the original by filing 1983 claims against state entities - namely, LSU and the Board of Supervisors (LSU isn’t even a juridical entity).

Which is odd since I’ve been told that the SEC is perfect and has tons of money to pay brilliant lawyers… anyways.

They needed to amend their complaint, so along with naming the LSU Board members and AG in their individual capacities, they added the ridiculous headline-grabbing claim about seeking the right to dismiss LSU from the SEC. Since the press is primarily composed of idiots, it worked like a charm and that’s your headline.

It’s still a pig of a lawsuit, but it serves as fodder for the idiots. And hey, given the judge is a double-Alabama grad, it might work in some capacity.
quote:

This isn't about kicking LSU out of the league in so much as it's about the SEC having the ability to sanction a member so they can become the future governing body in college athletics. They stated it explicitly in the filing.


In part. It’s about the SEC believing they are above the law. In what world do they think they are the final judge?? This will end poorly for Sankey and the SEC. It might take a few years, but they are in WAY over their heads.

There is no exit fee for teams in the SEC. If it's such a great deal for LSU to not be in the conference, you don't have to wait to be kicked out, LSU can just self-remove. But they won't, because your argument is stupid.



Really? What does this mean:

3.2 WITHDRAWAL FEE
*3.2.1 Obligation to Pay Withdrawal Fee. A member that provides notice of withdrawal from the Conference as required by
Section 3.1.4 shall pay a withdrawal fee to the Conference of $30 million on or before the effective date of the withdrawal.
[Adopted: 1/14/21]
*3.2.2 Additional Withdrawal Fee. A member that withdraws from the Conference without providing notice of withdrawal as
required by Section 3.1.4 shall pay a withdrawal fee of $40 million to the Conference immediately upon providing notice of
withdrawal (or if no notice is provided, as of the effective date of such withdrawal). [Adopted: 1/14/21]

The numbers are right there buddy, sixth in the SEC for viewership, surpassed by both new additions that the SEC hasn't gotten paid for under the previous media deal.


Way to quote one season - and a historically bad one by LSU standard.

10.4 million watched LSU vs Clemson. Highest number of the season by far.
