@lilsquilz@kleck45@BrennonChapman@GregSankey “Even more so than Tulane does more often than not.” Billy, you’re insulting someone’s education with a sentence that needs a tutor, translator and priest.
@kleck45@BrennonChapman@GregSankey You ran out of facts, counted my followers, then announced your exit. That’s not a comeback. That’s a concession speech.
@kleck45@BrennonChapman@GregSankey You wrote a paragraph, got cooked, then reached for “it’s not that deep.” That’s not banter, lil bro. That’s an evacuation.
@kleck45@BrennonChapman@GregSankey If LSU were replaceable, you wouldn’t be writing paragraphs trying to convince strangers. Big brands don’t announce their relevance, their haters do it for them.
@RuralVol Nobody said Lane is personally filing every lawsuit. LSU exposed a rule aimed at one player, the SEC rushed a 15–0 vote, and now the courts may decide whether it holds up. Calling people “stupid” won’t make a bad process look fair.
@BrennonChapman@GregSankey You can replace LSU on a spreadsheet, not in the SEC. No ACC team brings LSU’s recruiting footprint, revenue, ratings or national relevance. The only thing “easy” here is exposing how little you understand college football.
@BrennonChapman@GregSankey That’s some premium delusion. You can vote LSU out on paper, but you can’t vote its brand, fanbase, Louisiana recruiting ground or revenue out of existence. Replacing LSU with Tulane isn’t leverage, it’s a coping mechanism with a greenwave sticker.
@kleck45@BrennonChapman@GregSankey LSU doesn’t need the SEC nearly as much as the SEC needs LSU. Tulane isn’t a replacement, it’s a consolation prize. This argument is what happens when someone confuses a school that exists with a brand that matters.
@EverythingRebs “Terrible advice” is a convenient way to blame the players for a mess created by grown adults. The rules keep changing, the guidance was clearly inconsistent, and now the kids are paying the price. But sure, blame the athletes.
@AYSSPORTS Dr. Rousse knew the assignment: don’t vote yes on a rule LSU may have to fight in court. That abstention wasn’t hesitation, it was LSU keeping every option open while the other 15 signed the receipt 😂🐯
@PegSports7@AYSSPORTS Exactly. This lawsuit is the receipt: the NCAA changes the rules, athletes sue for relief, and judges clean up the mess. Related suits followed in multiple states. LSU didn’t create the chaos, the NCAA did. LSU just made it impossible to hide. 🐯
@AYSSPORTS 15–0 doesn’t make it right. It shows 15 schools protecting the same flawed decision. LSU abstaining was the only vote that respected due process.
@ntcjr@AYSSPORTS Exactly. The TRO may be limited to the NCAA, but that still leaves the question AYS raised: can the SEC use its membership agreement to impose a penalty that effectively nullifies a court-protected eligibility ruling? That’s the issue headed back to court.
@pillman1964@AYSSPORTS Telling people to “give it a rest” doesn’t resolve the legal issue. The court orders, NCAA eligibility rules, and the SEC’s new enforcement policy still have to be reconciled, and that’s why this story matters. Keep pressing it.
@AYSSPORTS@AYSSPORTS Everybody’s debating eligibility; the real issue is enforcement. If the SEC punishes LSU for honoring a court-ordered eligibility ruling against the NCAA, the league could be inviting another injunction over whether its rule is an end-run. That’s the test.
@stantheman31 That’s the real issue. NCAA eligibility and SEC participation are now separate questions. The injunction may restrain the NCAA, but unless it also binds the SEC, Sankey can enforce the conference rule. The next fight is whether that circumvents the court’s order.
@RuralVol The “most brain-dead legal argument imaginable” is apparently that court orders must be followed. Rural Vol just cross-examined himself, and lost.
