About as well as Saban prior to arriving at LSU.

Such a touching story.

It’s not comparable, even in down years for LSU and Bama, they are always in the talks of making runs for championships. Add Texas to the list now and the rest of the programs are second tier. That’s just the gods honest truth. The others may not like it but it is what it is.

We can hire Bobby Bouche and we will ride that

The University of Alabama’s history with major NCAA infractions spans nearly two decades of overlapping probations, leading the NCAA to once label the school a "serial repeat offender" with an "abysmal" track record. [1] (LINK
1995: The Antonio Langham & Gene Jelks CaseThe NCAA handed Alabama its first-ever major sanctions following an investigation into rules violations under coach Gene Stallings. [1] (LINK Infractions: Cornerback Antonio Langham signed with a sports agent in 1993 but continued to play. Separately, player Gene Jelks received $24,400 in impermissible deferred-payment loans from boosters. [1] (LINK [2] (LINK of Institutional Control: The NCAA cited a lack of institutional control for allowing Langham to play while ineligible. [1] (LINK Penalties: Three years of probation (later reduced to two on appeal), a one-year postseason ban for the 1995 season, a loss of 26 scholarships, and the forfeiture of 8 wins and 1 tie from the 1993 season.

1999: Secondary Violations & WarningThe Tide narrowly avoided major penalties but remained firmly on the NCAA's radar.The Infractions: Investigation into an assistant basketball coach who attempted to create a recruiting slush fund.The Penalties: The NCAA officially warned Alabama that any further violations within the next five years would result in catastrophic "repeat The Albert Means Recruiting ScandalThis is widely considered one of the worst recruiting scandals in college football history, bringing Alabama to the brink of the NCAA "death penalty". [1] (LINK [2] (LINK Infractions: Boosters, most notably Logan Young, paid $150,000 to a high school coach to steer blue-chip defensive lineman Albert Means to sign with Alabama. It also involved arranging proxy test-takers to falsify his academic test scores. [1] (LINK Penalties: A massive five-year probation, a two-year postseason bowl ban (2002 and 2003), and the stripping of 21 scholarships over three years. [1] (LINK [2] (LINK The Textbook ScandalBefore its five-year window from the 2002 infractions completely closed, Alabama triggered the "repeat violator" status. [1] (LINK [2] (LINK Infractions: Over 200 student-athletes across 16 different sports misused the university’s textbook system. Athletes on scholarship used their accounts to obtain free textbooks for friends and other non-athlete students. [1] (LINK [2] (LINK to Monitor: The NCAA hit Alabama with a "failure to monitor" charge for inadequate oversight of the textbook disbursement process. [1] (LINK Penalties: Three years of probation (ending in 2012), a $43,900 fine, and the vacation of 21 football wins achieved during the 2005–2007 seasons under coaches Mike Shula and Nick Saban. [1] (LINK [2] (LINK Era (2010–Present)Since the textbook scandal, the University of Alabama has not faced another major Level I "lack of institutional control" case. In 2016, wide receivers coach Bo Davis resigned following an internal investigation into impermissible recruiting contacts, allowing the school to handle the issue proactively with the NCAA. The athletic department continues to routinely self-report minor Level III and IV operational infractions—such as inadvertent phone calls, minor social media rules breaks, or student-worker violations—which are considered standard for major athletic programs and do not carry institutional penalties.

Let this sink in, SMU in the days of the SWC were penalized heavily, what followed was the end of the SWC. If you don’t think blood thirsty Lawyers would line up to sue the SEC then you brain is less than a peanut. Those law suits would not even have to come from the LSU side. Sponsors, tv rights, advertisement, etc. the burden of proof would have then sifted to the SEC.
I am sure Tennessee, Ole Miss, and Alabama have goods of LK, however not reporting those irregularities makes them complicit. The SEC stalled today no matter how you want to look at it from your point of view.
I was hoping they would can LSU to see the downfall of the conference that would have followed.

I believe this is what’s going to happen if the judge acts on the motion. The conference will be forced to apply the ruling across the board.

Assuming the federal case today grants the SEC the rights to enforce its rules, bylaws, penalties, and the rulings of the NCAA, are you prepared for Trinidad Chambliss to potentially removed from the playing field. The ruling can almost force the SEC to enforce those rules across the board evenly. That would include not allowing former players to suit up for the practice squad to help a team prepare for an upcoming opponent.
I am sure this ruining is highly likely to go against LSU, but the ruling also will have huge impacts to all member institutions. Sankey has opened a can of worms he is not prepared to fish.

Just out of curiosity, assuming the court favors the SEC, will Chamblis become in eligible since he has exceeded the 5 for 5?

Was it not long ago that former Alabama players, who played in the NFL, were allowed to be on the practice squad to help the team prepare for an opponent.
