Supposedly multiple sports but not including football. Why would you systematically not report NIL deals across multiple sports but report them all in football?
Because crippling the women’s volleyball team with sanctions will give the appearance of accountability, and allow the CSC to somehow justify its existence.
Theoretically, that would also would set a soft precedent on what type of teeth the CSC has legally. If they levy huge sanctions on a non-revenue sport, the onus is then on LSU to invest millions into defending it to prevent the old slippery slope from coming into play….because there isn’t much other reason to actually spend that money.
I do, however, expect them to fight it tooth and nail, the CSC will be rendered toothless by a higher court at some point, and that will fully open the kimono all the way.
