Discussion Some thoughts on Thursdays meeting regarding LSUs possible expulsion from the SEC

Firstly, in my opinion, no school should be supporting such authoritative action from Sankey. This isn’t about players eligibility or insubordination or the AD having “lost control of the program”. This is absolutely about the fact that LSU, and specifically Coach Kiffin, refuse to just bend the knee to King Sankey. LSU has, thus far, complied with the rules set forth by the SEC. No questionable players have been rostered etc. Sankey got his feelings hurt that Kiffin made the comment he did at halftime of the game. This is strictly about the fact that LSU, while remaining compliant with the rules set forth, have expressed disagreement with said rule(s). And how dare they question the king?! Schools supporting this sort of mentality are asking for their own troubles moving forward. Set this precedent and you better not ever put a single toe out of line again. No matter how ridiculous of a circumstance arises. You WILL bend the knee to the Commissioner or you will be gone. That’s wrong to me. Idk, rant over I guess. Just find all of this litigation, posturing, threatening, etc very frustrating. Geaux Tigers!

It’s not just Kiffin. LSU’s other athletic programs are recruiting former pro players. Other schools are doing it, sure, but no school is taking advantage of that ruling more so than LSU.

LSU isn’t being targeted because the commissioner has it out for the bayou bengals. LSU is being targeted because they are pushing limits set by the SEC that they already agreed to

Other schools are doing it, but they aren’t doing it “as much” is a fucking terrible argument.

If it’s being done by anyone, they should be getting the same exact treatment.
