I believe from this point forward any and all SEC commissioner meetings should be televised.

This should certainly be the case in the event of any vote on an expulsion from the conference and each committee member should be required to support their vote no matter which way they vote.

I have learned more about the SEC and how it operates behind closed doors during this little scuffle than I have in my entire life, and I do not like what I see.

Explain.

Let’s be intellectually honest. LSU did in fact blink when even though the two players in question obtained a court order permitting them to play LSU still did not roster those players. LSU then went on to fill the roster without those two players. Call it what you will, but that was a blink. I do not fault LSU for that in any way shape or form because the program has to come first.

You’re depending on referees to win your game for you now? At least you acknowledge it. Kudos for that.

Like most of us here, I remember the events of that day. Had the US government shot down flight 93, it would’ve been highly unfortunate but understandable.

I choose to believe they died as heroes on that day. Despite what might have transpired and based on audio, that was their intent; that is their legacy; and I for one will in no way attempt to disturb it.

So Rousse told Sankey the day after the SEC filed suit it had complied on the players issue and told him LSU would not be interfering in a meeting ….

Interesting how the lawsuit, when amended, did not mention these facts - or maybe it did and I missed it.

Exactly.

Grok says this is:

This is a Legend Fitness commercial plate-loaded Standing Leg Curl machine (most likely model 3175 or a very similar variant).
You stand on the octagonal diamond-plate platform, brace against the padded section, and use the green foam rollers to perform single-leg hamstring curls. The side handles give you stability, and plates load onto a peg on the machine.

It’s built for gyms, schools, or athletic facilities (heavy-duty welded steel frame, made in the USA). The photo is from a Public Surplus auction listing (inventory #824521), so this particular unit is used/surplus equipment.

No. This has to be resolved.

It should be but it is not …. One good emergency can wipe most of that out in a heartbeat.

I do not pretend to understand how it got to this point. However, to answer your question, what the SEC has done is the equivalent of someone holding a pew pew to the head of LSU (or insert any other university name). That is not okay.

At this point, the SEC has pushed this too far.

1. The issues need to be clearly defined.

2. The issues need clear resolution so this does not happen again to any other university or any other conference.

3. If the SEC has abused its position and perceived authority that needs to be determined.

4. If LSU or any other university has violated SEC rules that needs to be addressed also.

5. Most importantly, rules need to be applied equally across the board. That has not happened during the entirety of the SEC history.

My $.02. Keep the change.
