The ongoing legal feud between the SEC and LSU will take longer than expected.
Nearly two hours after the videoconference between the two, the Southeastern Conference announce both entities have not reached a resolution.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, the SEC writes: “Those discussions will continue as the conference and its member universities work toward an appropriate resolution.”
Sources previously told WDSU that LSU President Wade Rousse and SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey have been in contact since Tuesday, working to de-escalate the situation and reach some sort of common ground.
Sources indicate to WDSU that a vote to terminate LSU as an SEC member is no longer on the table.
Paul Finebaum told reporters Wednesday, Lane Kiffin was “on the brink of being expelled,” before the team roster was finalized, adding: “He saved his program for now.”
The Tigers Athletics Department could still face potential penalties tied to the back-and-forth over player eligibility.
SEC presidents “are deadly serious,” and “angry” at Lane Kiffin and LSU, Paul Finebaum said.
This comes after the SEC filed a lawsuit last week against Louisiana State University, head football coach Lane Kiffin and LSU athletic director Verge Ausberry over what the conference calls the deliberate recruitment of pro football athletes.
