SEC Backs Down on LSU Expulsion Threat

LSU Daily

About this episode

The SEC will not vote to expel LSU from the conference, ending one of the wildest standoffs in recent college sports history. Matt reacts to the SEC backing down and explains why LSU never “caved” in the eligibility fight—the Tigers never definitively said they would roster the disputed players and consistently maintained they would wait for the courts. Plus, what Wade Rousse’s message to Greg Sankey revealed about LSU’s position, the misinformation surrounding the lawsuit and a look ahead to LSU’s matchup with Louisiana Tech.

Okay, what's up everybody? Good morning. Welcome to a Thursday edition of Morning Scone presented by Brock the badgers or the clinic parish construction. Whoops. Whoo, Whoo, Whoo, Whoo, Whoo, Whoo. You got me. All right, hang on. We little power out of the last night. Oh. Oh. There. All right. I'm on my mic. Come on in just a second. I'm going to bypass the intro song today. It's a few minutes late. So don't want to spend two and a half minutes of our time together playing the intro song. So we'll just jump right into it today. My power out of last night. So my audio board here is resetting. Let's see. It's a good there now. Hang on. There we go. Should be good now. Okay. Yep. Okay. Good morning everybody.

So the SEC is it turns out is not going to vote to expel LSU from the southeastern conference. Stunning development, right? Who possibly could have seen that coming? Who could have possibly seen that coming that the SEC isn't actually going to vote to expel LSU from the conference? Who possibly? Oh, all right. Gigantic bluff. And the funniest part is not funny. Ha ha. I guess kind of but the letter Wade Roos sent to Greg Sanky yesterday. The last line of the letter is basically we're not stopping. We're not stopping you from having your vote. I'm just trying to stop you from having your meeting. Here's the letter. To be clear, LSU will not challenge disrupt or seek to cancel or postpone this meeting.

That's the meeting to vote LSU out of the conference. Any saying we're not trying to disrupt that? You know what he's saying? Have your vote. Good. Have your vote. That's what that's what that's what that's what. You know what I'm saying? Have your vote. No, go ahead. We're not we're not getting the way. Go ahead. Call your vote. I want to vote anymore. You showed them. Hey, Michael. I feel your frustration. You were right. Your determination in providing the truth of this process. Appreciate it. Thank you, Matt. I'm sure. Hey, Nathan. Good morning. Incredible. Locked on last night. Excellent work. Any idea when this meeting is supposed to happen today? How many seasons will they give it? I do not know what time the meeting is today. So remember it was a previously scheduled meeting in the university. The first time I did court document is when they repurposed the meeting to be a vote to expel LSU, which now that vote won't happen.

Right. But but the meeting is still happening. So just a regular schedule meeting of the University presents. Hey, Mike. I'm going to go to the New York City Hall. I'm going to go to the New York City Hall. Louisiana. Let's get out of the last night. I would have come back. We had on auto locks. We had Seattle minus the three. We had. The under for the game, which hit and the Patriots team total under which hit. So. Two and one on auto locks last night on on the NFL game. Thank you. Good morning. Thanks for all you do. Your name is being well represented nationally. We're lucky to have you. Thank you, man. Appreciate that. Very kind. Steven Sherpas will less rain today. Any legal lane change. More Matt shout out to my mother live birthday. Me me. Okay. Happy birthday to me. Me. Me. Hope it's a great day.

Shout out shout out. Hey, Tommy. Good morning. When was the S? I'm not a bad guy. Matt. Matt. What up, scone business booming. Am I right? LOL. I blame Terry. This is what he wanted. Hawkeye came. Morning, scone. Happy voting day. I know the whole thing was ridiculous, but does LSU and other schools have emergency plans? Casey there is like any expelled actually happens. Well, I can tell you. One thing that I was told. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. And I have no. Detail on this whatsoever. I'll try to find some but. That with all that happened in the last two weeks. Apparently and it makes sense, right? Sometimes opportunity is spread out of uncomfortable circumstances. That apparently. I think that's actually a lot of things that we do. Maybe some different types of. Interesting structures and things like that popped up.

So. But LSU wants to be in the SEC. And the SEC wants LSU in the conference. I mean, they're both better together. So could the SEC exist without LSU? Yes. Is the SEC better with LSU? Of course. Could LSU exist without the SEC? Yes. Would it be an uncomfortable. Stand there. But if LSU Justice kick that along, I was. Understand. So really. What the. And there's sage Kang a tough one, great place to meet. Successful. So we're a good place. we can. Confirm it. And there's good place to του Camp. I wouldn't have di a. gre Hedbruk just improvements. I think the wins match. That could be something a very critical. From the St', or maybe the force ikke. blocking the interstate by Dow Ripple yesterday. So yes, I mean, everything was blocked and everyone was late, but school had sent out of text that was like, we get it, everyone's late,

just get here when you can. So we're not too late. I need some back roads to take. Morning, Matt. Lot don't set the premier 10 minutes after I was going to bed. I had to prioritize the sleep after being sick, but I don't know if you'll hear you go off live. Listen this morning. Thanks for catching up. I appreciate it. Hear you loud and clear. Thank you, man. Black connection. Good morning, SPC. Good morning. Can you do a Russ? Can you and Russ do whiskey in line? That'd be fun. I miss my fix. We're like addicts. Well, as it turns out, I am not going to Oxford. So the, I don't know what above it, man. It looked like I was going to be going all each of the first three games and the sick last week. And we're going this weekend for tech. And then, and then next week, I'm not going to make it to Oxford because the location for my show on Friday fell through. So, and my, it's a most stuff I fell through too. So, not going to make it to Oxford. So I'll be home. So, maybe it will fire up a whiskey in line for Ole Miss.

See. Adam's smart move by the SEC. Mooted to the sip. Good morning. Thomas Moot is the word. Love it. He dropped two moots in that letter. Tiger diver, kind of bummed out of Hanukkah. I wish him all the best. Yeah. Charles and I talked about that during the summer. It was, it was a few things. Some sponsor stuff, but primarily Richard Dixon. It's just, it's coaching his kids and they would record that like on Tuesday nights, Monday or Tuesday nights. And it was just a little difficult. So, just took one thing off their plate. Hey, Rooney, good morning. Thomas, how's all this going to affect Will Wade and his roster? Will RJ Lewis be allowed to play? Yeah. No. According to the new rules that the president's passed

two weeks ago. And I'm actually in favor of that. I've told you all that all along. I'm not just unapologetically purple and gold homer. Like, RJ Lewis should not play. RJ Lewis is a guy who had eligibility. He's basically Charles Betty Acko. He had eligibility. He left, signed a two-way deal, tried to come back. Like, I'm not good with that. He should not play. I don't care that he's the former big east player of the year. I don't care that he's really good point guard. Hey, you want your tired of lawlessness? You want rules? Here's rules. Follow them. Hey, trivia. So, we're not going to get the big 10 and the additional 20 million payout and have an amazing away schedule. We're not going to get that trivia. Hey, Kelly, good morning. Farmer Brown, good morning. Gonna be a good day. Steven, good morning. Fine, Bob Machanel, his inner skipalus, weasel in his way into the story and screaming from the pulpit. Thank you, his mood.

Hey, Jacob, good morning, football question. Do you think Lottaqu will put up a little fight plus he still can play the score in 80 last week? We got to remember this score in 80 against Northwestern State. In Northwestern State, became the first Division I program ever to lose to an NIA school when they lost the Louisiana Christian. So, Northwestern State is really having a rough go of it as a program. So, I'm not, I'm a tech school in the first play of the game. All my Canadian art pass. I think tech's a good program. I think Sonny Cumbi's done a great job. Very happy for him. He's always been very nice to me. Met him right when he took that job. We had lunch with some people over at TJ Ribs. I got to meet him and he's, every time I've ever asked but come on the show, he's always been willing, had him yesterday on AFR. You know, so I wish him well. It's just not a favorable matchup for them at all. Hey, Juan, good morning, Shane. I don't find bomb. Also, these nerd presidents passed the rule at the direction of Sanky. Shouldn't Sanky be voted out. It'll cost SEC millions.

He will cost the SEC millions, but I don't think they passed that the best of Sanky, I think. They were all on board with it as well. They could have told him to stand down. Hey, Matt, good morning. How are we gonna do against tech? They put up points. TechScore 7 against LSU last year was 23 to 7. And this defense is better than last year. Hey, Matt, that was MBS yesterday. Good, yes, so yesterday I went and spoke to the good timers meeting at MBS. So I think what is it? The get to be 60, I think it's for parishioners that are 65 and older. It's, so they do launch and have a speaker. So usually once a year, they ask me to go by and speak. So guys are gonna do that. It's parish I grew up in and it was a fun time. So I got to go speak tech, that group for about an hour yesterday, good day. Let's see, glad this is all over. Glad Lane's wallet is probably never rostered the players.

I think it's important to remember that ultimately was not going to be Lane's final decision. So and the other thing to remember too, and this is the thing I keep hearing over and over again from some people is LSU cave, they didn't roster the players. Here's one of the challenge, and this is something I should have included in a lot done episode yesterday. Here's one of the challenge you, anybody, sir, anyone. Fine for me, anyone associated with LSU, literally anyone who said unequivocally, we're rostering the players. See, no one at LSU ever said, we're putting those players on the roster. They took commitment from those players when they were in the portal that reopened. And time and again, they said, we're going to wait and see what the court decides. Let's wait. Let's wait and be patient and see what the court says. Because if you have a court order like every other player

that's ever had a court order, you can just disobey the court. So that's all LSU ever said, they never said definitively, we're rostering the players. But they said, we're going to wait and be patient while the court order. And that just made the SEC more and says, now you have to vote, you have to vote, you have to vote, you have to vote. So no one ever said at LSU, not Lane, not Ferg, not Roos, not anybody. Never said we are rostering the players. And remember that lawsuit didn't involve LSU. Those were players suing the NCAA who then enjoined the SEC to gain their eligibility. That lawsuit had not keeps the LSU wins a lot. LSU didn't win a lawsuit. LSU was not involved in that lawsuit. Those were players suing for their eligibility. Dray, any good bets? Yeah, man, you need to check out our locks on Louisiana Sports side net every day. Above a good morning. Mac. Mac Tizino back to Zeno,

the vote is out so we can be independent. Mark Allen, I've learned the hard way to use it to listen to you. The thing is, Mark, if I don't know what I'm talking about, I'm going to tell you I don't know. But when I know, I know. Could have saved you a lot of heartache. If you already just listen to me, hand a griff throughout the possibility of Kelly going to Rutgers, just Tate and Kelly's in or there. Do you see that happening? Maybe I don't know why Brian would want that job. Unless he's just desperate to coach. Now he has said that if you took a job, you'd want it to be one where it's academic in nature and all that sort of stuff. I don't know if I believe that, but Rutgers would feel more like that. And I don't know what type of relationship. Kelly, Brian Kelly and Kelly's in have.

I'm not saying it's bad. I just don't know. I just don't know that it's if it's good. I don't know. I'm saying like, I don't know what type of relationship to do with them. But Kelly's in is great. Hey, Sean, good morning. Appreciate the job you do now more than ever. Thought you're locked on last night was one of the best. Appreciate the way you took down all those falls national narratives. Thanks for following along, man. Hey, Steven, good morning. I was really looking forward to playing in the Southland. It'll be interesting to find by never interviews, roots or verge. Yeah. I did take exception with him calling verge, puppet, that's just unnecessary and disrespectful. He was also wrong because he said then President brought in his own guy, which didn't verge has been the AD since then. And fine bombs been the one pound of the drum the most about Jeff Langer's calling all the shots, which is also not true, but whatever.

That's, I guess that's not only problem is like if, if you do have a platform with a big audience and he does, then there's a certain responsibility that goes along with that for being fair and accurate and credible. And because people listen to what you say. And he was wrong a lot in that the comments he made yesterday. At parish, we got you covered from the top of your roof. All way down. parish construction and moving. parish built. Harris built. Harris built. From your hometown. All right. parish construction and roofing remember, if you need North Peters, you go to Brock and it roof you call parish unique physique, unique aesthetics

and wellness restored motions restored motions.com boatcock brothers, premium cigars, code mat 15, mat 15, mat one five for 15% off your order and F M O L health, our related lake, championship health partner of L L. Sheathletics. We got to stay on time today guys because I do have to get you up, get into school because that's the Dr. New Orleans doing interview on the Mark Roaming show this morning. So I need to get down to the interview and get back. So we got to get, get cooking today. Hey Tyler, Matt, keep it real. How tired are you have explained this whole lawsuit over and over again? Well, the it's just, it's more of a, it's annoying when you have to keep repeating yourself. And, and you feel like you're fighting against so much misinformation. And, but I get it because most people don't spend all day, every day, like enveloped in this. What I wish is people who had a platform that didn't actually, I can't tell you how many interviews I've done over the last two weeks, 30 maybe across different

markets and stations and platforms and TV and radio and national and local all over. And to be asked the same questions with the same misunderstanding over and over again, just tells you how much the narrative has been spun incorrectly. What about will you ever have that pathetic swine Greg the Yankee Sankee on your shoulder and media days? We can't give him any peace and rewarding competence. Yeah, I'll have them on next week, next year, media days. Thankfully, that LSU will be at SEC Media days because I'll still be in the SEC. So that'll be good. So many to check. Find by Mesa and band from the San Felicia. TJ. And a little Matt's the everydayer, Matt the everydayers. We've known for weeks. Thanks for keeping us updated. Hey Chris sports personnel as I find Bob on the show and how responsible they become Leon Tiger Poppy. Good morning. Adam. Thank you, man.

Survive man, your empathetic on your lockdown. Obsessed morning, but again, you mean emphatic? It'd be emphatic. trivia. Leslie, good morning. Thanks for the clarity. Hold the box. And thanks for following along. Squirrel, what up, man? You got it, man. Thanks for watching Squirrel Tiger diver. It's safe to say we'll wait. Won't play RJ Luis. I can't imagine a path where they do. Unless if the president's changed that rule. Matthew, how bad is the disclosure going to be on the SEC with this legal battle that is all about take place? I don't know. My guess is it never goes to court. My guess is they settle the civil suit. So it'll be an undisclosed amount.

My guess. How does Greg Sanky-Menderleyshire moving forward that matters? They'll figure it out. You know, 2016 with the hurricane thing was ugly. They figured it out. They figured out. Hey, Brian, sit back and think about everything. The only rule LSU didn't follow was the one from the judge Ross the players. TJ, I take news from your pods and sound like LSU guru Ramon Abraham. Adam RIP Barry Melrose saw that last night, man. Like to me, Barry Melrose, the most famous hockey guy ever because he's the only hockey guy ever saw an ESPN. 70 years old. Did I see that right? Yeah, man, shout out to Barry Melrose. Danny, good morning. Ever going to happen? Thank you. It was flexing his muscles and Alabama because he was mad about sitting in the courtroom for three hours to get personally.

A lot of BS in the SEC. Robbie, I see the on standards. The next head coach of Florida State when Norville gets fired. I think that's a real possibility. Cole, good morning. Two days to football. Rocky locked on has been awesome. Thank you, Matt. Thank you for following along. Hey, Corey. Way definitely left them with egg on their face to my weight. Ruse, yes. It's just so funny. How people spend narratives to think like LSU back down when number one LSU never said once they were definitively rostering the players. All they ever said was we want to wait for the court order and make an informed decision. But the other side just kept getting louder and angrier and and as silly as it was for them to threaten to vote LSU out of the SEC.

Liz Merrill and Wade Ruse both said, have you vote? What's stopping you? I would not have fallen any injunction. No temporary restraining order shot block this vote. Go ahead and vote. Have your meeting. What's stopping your meeting? Have your meeting. Have your vote. We're not going to vote anymore. That'll show them. Survive. Why do failure of institutional control penalty coming from for ATM? So lack of institutional control and I don't know why tech say them would get that you'd have to tell me I there's something. I guess I'm missing there. Now, what is the status of two LSU girl soccer players part of the TRO? They're playing still. So basically everyone that's gotten their court order is allowed to play, including junior to a holamaca. It's specifically those two former Ole Miss players because they signed pro contracts. As ridiculous as it is. I mean, Xavier Harris never so much as to partner practice.

Let alone a game. But because he got $190 in gas money put his name on a piece of paper. He's a former NFL player. It's it is I'll say it again is intellectually dishonest the conversation people are having about this. What how you look if you want to say all of them get out. Okay. Like Colton, Texas, the kicker at South Carolina, the players at Arkansas roster like all you want to get kick all of them out? Okay. You want to work your mid-a-camp out? Okay. That's all I'm asking for is consistently apply the rule black and white. What you can't do is introduce areas of gray because when you do, then you create a mess because how do you distinguish areas of gray? Hey, Stevie, why has it been no discussion over placing Sanky? There's been clear personal feelings present unacceptable for later of our conference. Similar to Roger Gidell, the commissioner's job is to grow the conference revenues and lead the conference forward and he's done a really good job of that over his tenure as commissioner.

It's on the nipple. Let me go share the new TV deal with the SPN, add a Texas, no, Coloma, I mean. They moved media days around to get the permanent location for the basketball tournament in Nashville. Like he's done a lot of good things he has. Rosemary, Mence, are these the only two players assigned a contract in the way that they're phrasing it. Yes, which is why they're preventing them from playing, which is they, they're, they basically painted this big, big, broad brush and then put this little bit of circle around those two guys. And that was it, which is just ridiculous. They move the goalposts. Hughes, more than that. Your boy, Neil McCready said he knows you and knows you're too smart to believe what you've been saying about S&Sanky. I'm more than happy to talk to Neil about anything. Pam, you can more Matt.

Coach Joe's health, okay. Yeah, he, nothing going on with Coach Joe is, is life threat and just some stuff he's got to take care of. Tyrone, it's locked on LSU. Let's get it. What's up, football as well. More Matt, my favorite cause football team, LSU is awesome and only get better. Can't wait. And my favorite video game is coming out. I'm going to be playing with a, a carina of time, which came out in 1998 on the 64. Okay, I remember the original, like the NES Zelda, the gold Zelda game on Nintendo used to play that all the time. Hey, Jason, good morning. May just do another pick. How about that interception at the end of the game? I mean, I'm not sad to see it because I had Seattle minus the three. So we pushed, but I mean, brutal. You're in a position to force over time. It works. Maybe get the win. You force that brutal pass. I mean, that's a terrible. More Matt and Drew, not going to lie. Miss whiskey line. A lot of people do. Mason, good morning from sulfur. Hellendic, good morning.

Scooby much respect. Everything you stayed with spot all with all this. I mean, that's the thing. Like, I don't, I didn't hear what Neil said, whoever just mentioned that a bit ago. I think he was missing that a bit ago. I don't know what Neil said, but. Go back and go back and point out where I'm wrong. Please point out where I've been wrong. I mean, I've been right every step of the way on this. This year's going to be the best year of my life. I love that. It's great, man. Sucks, Cam Jordan, start the new season. Yep. So Cam will miss this game for the second time in his career. It's a bummer. Franco Nation. Let's see. They all the most frustrating part of all this lack of information. The national media. Trust me, someone has done a lot of national media interviews over the last two weeks. The same questions I keep getting asked. And then to hear the people who are asking me those questions and I explained to them what's going on. Then still go off and spout off their nonsense. If I were Dr. Rousse, how would demand they take the vote today?

And then I would cast my own vote as a yes just to see the crybabies are. If they did have that vote, I would love for that vote to have been public. Guy Brooks, good morning. Somebody else you got voted out. I bet Big Ten of me to try to get them. Probably not the Big Ten. It's weird, but Big Ten. I don't know exactly what it's called. I'll tell you if I don't know some of them. I'll tell you. But there's some like academic standing standard that like the Big Ten maintains for all of its members. You have to be a whatever level school. That's what I'm going to do. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but I don't think they would recruit Ella Schu in the Big Ten. Great info, no BS. Thanks, man. Appreciate it. All right, set 15. I got a bound, Joe, because I got to get through. I'll get them. Trust I got to get to New Orleans. Go to the interview on the mark. I'm going to show.
