In which the SEC says in court it is dealing with "a coordinated effort by Louisiana state actors, including the Governor and officials at LSU, to override the SEC's governance of its own association."
The SEC's amended complaint also takes aim at Louisiana AG Liz Murril, who's now named as a defendant. Last week, she called the lawsuit "garbage" nola.com/sports/lsu/football…
It looks like two sitting Louisiana district attorneys are about to face off in open court in this running legal battle over LSU potentially playing ex-pros. @alysepfeil and @Jon_Blau set the stage. nola.com/sports/lsu/new-orle…

A judge formally dismissed a coastal lawsuit against Exxon in Vermilion Parish, the one that could clear the way for SpaceX to build a launch site there.

I asked Gov. Jeff Landry how involved he was in bringing Will Wade back to LSU: "Let me just say, I helped wherever I could. Will and I are very close. I was sad that we didn't pick him up last year (in 2025). It was something that irritated me. LSU missed an opportunity. It’s why there was a big change in leadership over there (in the athletic department)."

Last night, Edwards brought the Baton Rouge Metro Council a 2026 budget that includes hundreds of layoffs and double digit % point cuts to almost every agency.
But BRPD and fire - who together account for about half the budget - are unscathed.

Can strongly recommend sitting down with a cup of coffee and really spending some time with this story.
Just absolutely essential reading if you care about LSU.
