College Football Powerhouse May Be Expelled From Conference, Here’s Why

Uncategorized

The Southeastern Conference (SEC) filed an amended complaint Tuesday morning in an Alabama federal court, showing it’s prepared to take the extraordinary step of expelling LSU from the conference.

The conference presidents have scheduled a vote on whether to expel the Tigers from the league, stemming from the school’s potential to add former NFL players to its football roster.

The SEC amended the federal lawsuit it filed against LSU last week, asking a judge to issue a temporary restraining order to prevent the school from interfering with the scheduled meeting of university presidents and chancellors.

ESPN shared further:

The SEC is not expected to take such action, but the filing indicates the seriousness of the league as it attempts to affirm the legal right to enforce its own rules.

LSU has declined comment.

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 lawsuit argued that the school was preventing SEC officials from “exercising their First Amendment rights to govern the conference,” Fox News noted.

“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, according to ESPN.

“A commitment to those rules, and to the core principles of the Southeastern Conference, is an essential element of SEC membership,” it continued.

“Today’s filing is necessary to defend that right and preserve the Conference’s ability to govern competition among its members,” the statement added.

“The SEC does not bring this action to declare any student-athlete ineligible or to prevent any student-athlete from participating in any athletic competition. This action is directed solely at the state actors who have violated, continue to violate, and threaten to further violate the SEC’s rights under the First Amendment,” the complaint read, according to Fox News.

The fight is now moving beyond the courtroom.

On Thursday, SEC officials will hold a special meeting to determine whether LSU could face expulsion from the conference. The meeting centers on concerns that school officials have lost control of Kiffin and the football program.

In the filing, SEC presidents and chancellors made it clear during a Sept. 4 meeting that they feel as though LSU has let Lane Kiffin run the football program however he wants, without guidance from the athletic department.

“Expressed great concern that Defendants Rousse and Ausberry have no meaningful control over Defendant Kiffin or the football program at LSU…The consensus at the September 4 meeting was and continues to be that LSU’s demonstrated lack of institutional control at the University level—including complete lack of control over Defendant Kiffin’s actions.”

Simply put, the SEC feels as though the comments made by Kiffin over the past few weeks regarding this matter go against conference rules, and they feel as though the LSU athletic department has allowed Kiffin to run the football program without pressure from his own bosses.

Will this actually take place?

That’s up to the member institutions, though the likelihood of the SEC expelling LSU from the conference feels pretty slim in the grand scheme of things.

Sacred Scripture

Acts 28 ends abruptly and that’s never sat right with me. With the inclusion of Acts 29, we are given a nice well-rounded finale to Luke’s biography and some interesting closure to Pontius Pilate as well. Join me as I continue my Lost Books of the Bible series on YouTube, reading from Acts 29, 3 Corinthians, and the Phoenix of Tertullian.

You can read along with these texts and more on our Sacred Scripture page. 

IN the summer of 2019, I was seated in the wine cellar of a walled Medieval town high above the Dordogne Valley of France, not far from Sarlat-la-Canéda, making phone calls, writing reports. I have given this story in other places and it appears as though you’re about to hear it again. Rob Skiba is a name you that you might be familiar with. Though he had made a name for himself as a Nephilim researcher, more recently Rob had taken a dive into the deep end of the pool via flat earth research. The recorded interviews I conducted between he and Rick Hummer, a fellow flat earth investigator and close friend of his, was published while still occupying that very wine cellar. Read all about it. Chicago Is Not a Mirage.

Word quickly spread. Within a few short weeks, dozens of flat earth researchers began accepting my invite for a private interview, if not a series of interviews. From a 17th-century tower built by King Louis XIV, and with a stunning view of the Alps, I sat down with Robbie Davidson, founder of the Flat Earth International Conferences, conducting multiple sessions. While staying in Dumfries, Scotland, David Weiss agreed to take part in the interviews, as did Bob Knodel of Globebusters. There were others. But when I asked the interviewees to discuss the moments that shaped their lives, among the many PSYOPs, false flag attacks, and hoaxes that were discussed, only these men committed commentary to the false 9/11 narrative.

The resulting recordings ballooned into The Unexpected Cosmology, a book which became a website and was even intended as an anthology. And of course, the following discourse was originally a chapter. It was Walt Disney who stated, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” Those sentiments remain applicable here as well. American Sensationalism: The 9/11 Interviews was always intended to be expanded upon with the inclusion of new researchers. So I’m sorry to say the project became stagnant during the Covid-19 psychodrama. I took a break to tackle other projects. We lost Rob Skiba. Rob offered hours of private conversation regarding his life but we never got around to the big one. 9/11. It was in the cards. Sadly, Bob Knodel died soon afterwards. Voices are being squeezed from an entire generation. Gnosis passes with them.

In the aftermath, the FE community became fractured. People began going their separate ways. Robbie Davidson, among a noted few others who were interviewed for the project, got up and left the movement altogether. It is not my intent to erase his or the contributions of others if only brief. They came, they went, their testimonies remain.

The original vision may have hit roadblocks but it is not forgotten. I expanded this paper a few years later to include testimony from author Pauly Hart, a dear friend of mine. I had wanted to continue that trend every year thereafter but you know how it goes. For the 25th anniversary of the attack I have redirected my efforts to its first large scale expansion, including Andrew Hoy and Darrin Geisinger into the mix. Perhaps others will lend their experiences to the recorder in time.

The following is their report.
