Louisiana says LSU broke no SEC rules, asks court to end suit

(The Center Square) – Louisiana State University officials and Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill asked a federal judge Tuesday to dismiss the Southeastern Conference’s lawsuit, arguing the university complied with conference rules and no continuing dispute warrants court intervention. The reply challenges the SEC’s reliance on new allegations involving LSU’s basketball program to sustain a case that began over two football players. It follows the conference’s opposition to dismissal and comes more than a month after SEC leaders met without voting to consider expulsion of Louisiana’s publicly funded flagship university. The SEC maintains the dispute extends beyond individual players and concerns its authority to determine conference membership without interference from LSU or state officials. “Again, no rules were broken. If Greg Sankey won’t dismiss the case, the court should do it for him,” Murrill said in a statement, referring to the SEC commissioner. Murrill’s office said the parties now await the court’s decision.

From standouts like Keith and Dufrene to the many elite athletes he has coached on some of Louisiana’s biggest stages, Coach Curtis has consistently demonstrated his ability to develop talent and get the most out of his athletes.
