The SEC did not sanction LSU after presidents met without a vote. [1] Sports Illustrated filed no action from that Thursday call. [1] This paper printed the meeting without a vote and no sanctions on Friday. Monday has no new conference action in fetched copy.

No action is not a dismissal. The lawsuit SI named as still live sits on the next page. A quiet Birmingham office is not a cleared program and not a withdrawn complaint. LSU's roster copy from earlier in the week is not this docket.

Birmingham's office issues statements sparingly, which is why SI's no-action note carried the week. The next presidents' session is the next possible news, whenever it is called. Nothing is decided before it.

Conference disputes of this era rarely end in expulsion; fines, probation, and scheduling pressure are the usual tools. None of those have appeared either. The file stays open because nobody has closed it.

Open files stay open; Monday's stays. Staying is the update. Sessions decide later.

Sessions decide later; Monday's file is still open. No expulsion, fine, or probation. Scheduling pressure hasn't appeared either.

Birmingham still has not voted. Thursday's presidents' call produced no sanctions, and Monday fetched no fine, probation, or expulsion to fill the gap. The live lawsuit belongs on the next page. A quiet office is not a cleared LSU.
Birmingham still has not voted. No expulsion, fine, or probation. Scheduling pressure hasn't appeared either.

Monday fetched no vote. Birmingham still has not voted. No expulsion, fine, or probation.
