SEC Coach Has Hilarious Comparison for LSU Controversy
The LSU Tigers have been the subject of much controversy recently, and a rival SEC coach had jokes.
Coach Lane Kiffin and LSU officials recently abandoned their attempt to bring former NFL players onto the Tigers' roster, after facing backlash from the Southeastern Conference. The SEC threatened to expel LSU from the conference, though a decision on that matter awaits a Thursday vote. School president Wade Rousse dismissed the controversy, deeming it moot.
Nonetheless, rival LSU fans continued to revel in the attention their team received. Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko remained confident that LSU would persist in the SEC, noting the team's spirit was unbroken for their upcoming matchup. Elko playfully likened the SEC's role in this situation to that of a parent disciplining a misbehaving child.
The situation arose due to conflicting court rulings regarding an extra year of eligibility for players in the 2022 recruiting class, with LSU's Dae Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris seeking to join the team.
