Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
In the filing, the SEC said its presidents and chancellors will meet Thursday to decide whether to terminate LSU as an SEC member institution pursuant to Section 3.1.5 of the SEC Constitution and Bylaws, which gives the presidents the "plenary power and authority with respect to all affairs of the Conference of any type or nature whatsoever," including the power to "[t]ake all actions specified and contemplated in Article 3 [of the Constitution] in their sole discretion."
Under SEC rules, a vote of at least two-thirds of all the presidents is required to terminate a school's membership.
"The SEC and its member universities have the right to establish, through agreed-upon governance procedures, the rules under which they voluntarily compete and to expect those rules to be followed," the SEC said in a statement. "A commitment to those rules, and to the core principles of the Southeastern Conference, is an essential element of SEC membership.
"Today's filing is necessary to defend that right and preserve the Conference's ability to govern competition among its members."
LSU has declined comment.......

That's a lot of guys who know their own school has done some crazy shit and thinking to themselves "what if they all come after me next?"
I'm guessing this goes no where.
It's like politicians having the unspoken rule about not going after each other over graft. Dirty campaigns are one thing- hitting on where the money comes from is verboten.

No question this is a "shot across the bow". When your Head Coach openly mocks the conference, along with your AD / President not bitch slapping said coach, this is what you get. What are the odds that Lane can actually keep his mouth shut ? I'm betting NO.

i’m gonna need someone with a legal background to answer something for me.
part of the basis the SEC is for this is a CBS article citing “two unnamed sources”.
does that typically hold up in court?
and seriously?
a sentence spoken at the end of a halftime interview?

oh i know it’s usable.
i’m just not sure what “imagine if we had pro players” proves other than Lane is a colossal smart ass they loves trolling people.
and i don’t think that part of his personality is much of a secret anyway.
