SEC Still Has Not Sanctioned LSU

TL;DR

SI filed no sanctions after Thursday's meeting; Sunday has no new vote.

MSM Perspective

SI filed no action and a lawsuit that remains. Sunday does not print cleared.

X Perspective

Tiger feeds treat silence as the feud ending.

The SEC did not sanction LSU after presidents met without a vote. [1] This paper printed no sanctions Friday. Sunday has no new conference action in fetched copy. No action is not a dismissal. Print no sanctions. Do not print cleared. No new presidents' call is in Sunday's conference copy.

No new presidents' call is in Sunday's conference copy, so no sanctions remains the SEC word and not a cleared LSU.
Sunday recap that pretends LSU was cleared is a feed, not SI.
No sanctions vote is in Sunday's SEC copy.
Sunday produced no SEC sanctions, and the archive keeps the last named one.
LSU remains unsanctioned.
Sunday is not a sanctions vote.
SI already named no action.
The feud is not over.
Birmingham's silence has stretched from Thursday's meeting through the weekend. Three quiet days do not equal exoneration. The lawsuit clock ticks independently of the conference one.

Independent clocks tick apart; conferences and courts keep different time. Sunday's clocks both tick. Neither strikes.

Neither clock strikes; Sunday's conference is still silent. Thursday met without voting. The lawsuit ticks on its own.

Sunday's conference is still silent. Thursday met without voting. The lawsuit ticks on its own.

Birmingham's presidents met Thursday and still have not voted sanctions. Unsanctioned is not the same as cleared. A silent weekend out of Alabama is not an acquittal. The lawsuit keeps its own time in another column.
The lawsuit ticks on its own. A silent weekend is not an acquittal. Unsanctioned is not cleared.

The lawsuit ticks on its own. A silent weekend is not an acquittal. Unsanctioned is not cleared.
