On Thursday the SEC sued LSU in federal court in Alabama, alleging the school waged what the conference calls a deliberate and coordinated campaign to recruit professional athletes in violation of league rules. A conference suing its own member school is not a normal week. The Ole Miss angle nobody is writing: three of the former Rebels — Dae'Quan Wright, Zxavian Harris and Wydett Williams Jr. — are inside the underlying eligibility case. Ole Miss could have brought any of them back and declined. Pete Golding: "some of these guys who have become available don't necessarily fit a need." Commissioner Greg Sankey testified the same day in East Baton Rouge Parish. His affidavit says league presidents voted 15-0 for the new rules with LSU abstaining. The honest counterweight: LSU is the defendant, not Ole Miss, and the accounts of what the judge actually did Thursday do not yet agree with one another. No ruling is stated here. Then: the most useful thing said about Ole Miss this week came from a national voice who is not putting them in the Playoff — new OC, a head coach in his first full year, a harder schedule. He is describing risk, not decline, and that is why it is worth hearing. Does that scare you or motivate you? Tell me in the comments.
