The SEC has scheduled a meeting Thursday to "decide whether to terminate Louisiana State University (“LSU”) as an SEC member institution pursuant to Section 3.1.5 of the SEC Constitution and Bylaw."
The SEC's amended complaint in its federal lawsuit vs. LSU spells out the process of expelling a member school.
It should leave no doubt on the seriousness of the league's expulsion conversation, which @YahooSports detailed in a story a week ago here bit.ly/3T5HFGj

Remember, when you hear Nick Saban, Kirk Herbstreit, Rece Davis, & Desmond Howard agree with Lane Kiffin this morning, it's not because they actually believe him. They got firm marching orders from their agents and NO ONE crosses CAA & Jimmy Sexton.

Good history lesson on the creation of the USNTDP, which has played a massive role in the development of this generation of USA Hockey. 17 of the 25 players on the men's Olympic team came up through the NTDP.

#Illini Dick Butkus almost went to Notre Dame, his son Matt told me.
"On his on his recruiting trip to Notre Dame, he asked where the marriage dorms were, and they said, 'You play football here, you don't get married.'"
"Illinois was like, 'Oh, these are brand new dorms, and we'll get her a job at the bank!'"
Butkus played OL and LB for Illinois, and led them to a 1964 Rose Bowl championship. He finished 6th and 3rd in the Heisman in his last two seasons. He's one of two numbers retired at Illinois, and has a statue.
In 1962, they allowed 26 PPG. In 1963, it dropped to 9.9 PPG.
He was drafted by the Chicago Bears and became of the greatest linebackers to ever live.
On Saturday, the Butkus Award ceremony was held, and the top LBs in HS, College and NFL were presented.
Josh Rodriguez of Texas Tech, Jack Campbell of the Detroit Lions and Tyler Atkinson of Grayson High School in Georgia were the winners

Success is paying off. #illini athletics made a record $195 million in revenue in FY2025 (2024-25 academic year), boosted by the Big Ten's new media rights deal and record ticket sales.
Oh, and Illini operated in the black.
