I had to order something for someone elsewhere.

Medium two topping
Parmesan Bites
Two dip cups
$17.99

Add in a lava cake dessert.

Delivery fee, tax, & tip and it turns into $44.


You left out a crucial piece of this - how much did the lava cake dessert cost? How much did you give for a tip?

You are acting like the fees, tax, and tip was $26 when it wasn't.

You're dancing around the issue of these players being on LSU's roster.


And you're dancing around the issue of whether LSU actually threatened to put them on the roster after the SEC clarified its rules on this matter.

You're dancing around the issue of whether it's possible for LSU to drop something that the SEC initiated (lawsuit, potential expulsion from the conference).

These guys were not on LSU's roster. That's the only fact that matters. LSU explored the possibility of adding them to their roster, and chose not to.

Even one the player's own agent said that LSU did everything right by his client.

quote:

If there was a scenario where LSU may roster them, then there was conflict between LSU and the SEC.



Interesting. So, you are saying that in any situation where a school may do something that is against the rules, they are in conflict with the SEC? That sounds a little ridiculous.

Conflict occurs when something happens. The SEC was acting as if something had happened, but you can't seem to articulate it other than saying LSU "threatened" to do something wrong (but you also can't produce the statement where LSU did this).

It also seems like LSU's President called Greg Sankey on Friday and told the SEC they were not going to put those players on the roster. Sounds like LSU did what it said it would do - follow the SEC rules.
quote:

Have you not followed this saga?

That's the driver of the conflict


I have followed it very closely. Did LSU say at any point in time that they planned to defy SEC rules and put these two guys on the roster? That's what I mean by my question.

The SEC generated this situation, essentially loading the gun and putting it to LSU's head and saying "you better not do this thing," without LSU taking any particular action that was against the rules.

Wright didn't "sign" with LSU. What is it that LSU did that warranted the gun being put to their head?

quote:

So you agree, there's no way these players can have any sort of damages against the SEC or LSU or anyone else right? They're just normal students who matriculated to LSU who were never going to play or be rostered by the team?


What? Man, you really are incapable of having a normal conversation. I didn't say or even remotely imply any of this.

The SEC created the conflict. You are a willing participant in acting like LSU, and LSU alone, created this problem. Congrats on being duped.

I'll add - plenty of players go to a school and then ultimately do not end up on the roster. Wright's own agent declared today that he never signed anything with LSU. Harris was injured and unable to play. These guys knew the situation they were encountering, and they know the business they are part of. It's hilarious you think they don't.
quote:

LSU could have done various things to bind themselves to never rostering the 2, and only did so last night.

And everything changed after that happened.


Was it a requirement that they fill the roster to 105 players at any point in the season?

Why would they need to bind themselves to never rostering certain players?

Again, this was manufactured BS and it sounds like you fell for it.
quote:

The threat of rostering the 2 players that the entire SEC told them not to


Seems like once the SEC released the rules, there was never a threat from LSU to roster those two players. They were interested in the result of the court case, but did they say after the SEC rules were released that they planned to roster those two players?

Did LSU state in any forum that they planned to defy the SEC rules?

Or was that just what was blown out of proportion by everyone else, including the other schools that were recruiting Harris and Wright?

And I didn't say you said that LSU should be punished or that they broke rules. You said that LSU "dropped" something. I am saying it's hard to "drop something" when you didn't do anything in the first place.

This whole thing was manufactured by the SEC and the media.
quote:

LSU dropped it officially last night.


LSU officially dropped what, exactly?

They didn't start this legal action.

They didn't do anything prohibited by the SEC rules that were "clarified" last week.

The SEC taking action against a coach, like suspending him for half the season, would be taking action to prevent the players from playing.

The SEC literally put "...a corporation based in Birmingham Alabama" in the heading of their lawsuit.....



Not to be nitpicky, but it actually says:

The Southeastern Conference
An Alabama unincorporated association

Either way, it's stupid.
