In the SEC’s federal court filing against LSU, the institution and its named defendants, President Wade Rousse, AD Verge Ausberry, LSU Board of Supervisors members and Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, filed a motion to dismiss, citing no personal jurisdiction over the defendants, while noting the complaint “fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted,” per Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger, who adds: “SEC and LSU legal teams have been in negotiations this week in an attempt to strike a mutual resolution that would end the legal battle, sources tell Yahoo Sports. A resolution has not yet been reached.” Full motion. (link, link)
The FBS Oversight Committee is asking the DI Cabinet to amend a July Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee proposal to also expand scouting restrictions to FBS football staff. Originally designed to prohibit men’s basketball staff members from attending other DI preseason, regular-season or conference tournament games, with limited exceptions, the revised measure would prohibit FBS football staff from scouting other DI contests in person, including those involving teams that aren’t future opponents.

Feeding athletes doesn’t end when the order is placed. Orderers also have to manage budgets, receipts, reimbursements, and tax-exempt purchasing across trips.
ezCater streamlines the administrative side of team meals by keeping ordering, receipts, reporting, and tax-exempt information in one place. Tax-exempt details can be uploaded once and automatically applied to eligible orders, reducing paperwork and cutting out manual follow-up.
For Jacksonville State, that means less time spent dealing with expense reporting and fewer headaches after the meal is over.
“I don’t like to hold on to paper receipts and get in trouble for not turning them in. ezCater has e-receipts, and having that PDF is way better than a crumpled receipt.”
– Matthew Boone, Head Coach of Track & Field, Jacksonville State University
