Rousse Recused From the Thursday Call

TL;DR

WAFB files Thursday's SEC call with no expulsion vote. Rousse recused as a named defendant is not a cleared Tigers.

MSM Perspective

Position 3 already named no vote. Recusal is the defendant sentence, not a penalty and not a pardon.

X Perspective

Tiger feeds treat a recusal as LSU already winning the lawsuit.

SEC presidents met Thursday and did not vote LSU out. [1] This paper already printed WAFB's no-vote statement. Wade Rousse recused as a named defendant in the conference lawsuit. Recusal is not a cleared Tigers. Print recused. Do not print expelled. Do not print cleared.

Fox Sports filed the same missing tally. [2] Continuing discussions are mush with a timestamp. The lawsuit remains the lawsuit. A later no-sanctions wrap belongs to a later edition. Thursday prints the recusal beside the missing vote.

Print recused. Print no vote. Recused remains a defendant sentence, not a win and not a membership vote.
A named defendant sitting out is still not a membership decision or a cleared Tigers.
Thursday is not a penalty night.
