Texas Tech Invokes The Name Of LSU In Hopes Of Shifting The Blame... | Can Jay get Steven Milam to RETURN to LSU? Jun 11, 2026

Show notes

Texas Tech Shifting Blame to LSU
The phrase "Texas Tech Invokes The Name Of LSU In Hopes Of Shifting The Blame" stems from comments made by Texas Tech booster Cody Campbell. [1]

The Drama: Following a fierce, high-dollar battle over former Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby (who committed to Texas Tech over LSU), Texas Tech has found itself under intense scrutiny for its aggressive NIL spending. [1]
The Deflection: Defending the school's aggressive transfer portal strategy, Campbell complained that Texas Tech is unfairly targeted by critics. He claimed that if a powerhouse program like LSU had pulled off the same moves, the public would shrug it off as "just LSU," but because it happened in Lubbock, rivals are making excuses to avoid playing them. [1]

Can Coach Jay Johnson Keep Steven Milam?
LSU fans have been passionately holding out hope that NIL and revenue sharing can convince "Monster" Milam to stay for his senior season. However, the reality of the draft metrics points toward his departure. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Draft Leverage and Slot Value: As a draft-eligible junior, Milam can leverage signing bonus offers. If he falls past the top 150 into rounds 4–6, his slot value sits between $300,000 and $575,000. If he returns for a senior year, he loses that professional leverage next year and would likely sign for far less (around $40,000 to $60,000). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

LSU Baseball Bino Watters To LSU! NC State Suing LSU over Will Wade | LSU Football W Jacques Doucet Jun 10, 2026

Show notes

NC State has launched an investigation into LSU regarding its hiring of men's basketball coach Will Wade, refusing to release the Tigers from potential legal action. As reported by WRAL and the News & Observer, the dispute centers around whether LSU committed illegal trade practices when luring Wade back to Baton Rouge in March 2026. Core Allegations Contractual Interference: NC State General Counsel Allison B. Newhart stated they are investigating if LSU improperly induced Wade to breach and terminate his employment agreement. Buyout Manipulation: The Wolfpack believes LSU and Wade colluded to delay notice of his departure to manipulate the buyout fee. Wade's contract dictated a $5 million buyout if he left before April 1, dropping to $3 million after that date. While the schools ultimately settled on a $4 million payment paid on May 8, NC State claims it never agreed to release LSU from liability.Statutory Violations: NC State is exploring a lawsuit under the North Carolina Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act, a law that permits plaintiffs to pursue triple damages and recover attorney fees.

LSU Football Adds Two More Commits w/ Glen West | The NCAA is Officially Broken w/ Rohan Davey Jun 09, 2026

Show notes

LSU Football Recruiting Surge LSU analyst Glen West joined the program to break down Lane Kiffin's white-hot streak on the recruiting trail. Over a single weekend, the Tigers doubled their 2027 class commitments by picking up four pledges in 48 hours: Cade Cooper: A 3-star wide receiver from Texas who committed on Monday.Markez Davis: A 3-star cornerback who also pledged his commitment on Monday. KJ Green & Brennen Lacey: High-profile prospects who committed right before them on Sunday following massive official visits. Why Davey Cites This as the "Death" of the NCAA On the broadcast, Davey used the Sorsby ruling to illustrate how the NCAA has become completely powerless:The Death of Enforceability: Davey and regional sports analysts point out that if a local state judge can instantly wipe away a federal infraction as severe as betting on your own locker room, the NCAA effectively retains zero governing power over college athletics.The "Broken" Infrastructure: The case perfectly highlights Davey's critique of a hyper-monetized system where $5 million athlete valuations collide with an absolute vacuum of centralized authority, legal gridlock, and state-by-state judicial rules.
