The SEC will play an eight-game conference schedule for the 2024 football season, even though two schools are joining the league, Oklahoma and Texas. LSU and a few other schools wanted to see the league move to a nine-game schedule, but not everyone was on board, including Alabama. So the SEC will stay with an eight-game conference schedule, but eliminate divisions. On June 14th, the conference schedule for 2024 will be released.

The SEC has also announced higher fines for schools that allow their fans to storm the field after big victories. The first offense will cost a school 100-thousand dollars, the second offense 250-thousand dollars, and third offense 500-thousand dollars. Schools also must come up with a plan to prevent their fans from rushing the field and if they do get on the field, provide a safe path for the opposing team to get to their locker room without interaction with fans.

LSU is on its way to beating Tulane and advancing to the winner’s bracket of the Baton Rouge Regional. Coach Jay Johnson decided to start Paul Skenes this afternoon, instead of holding him for the winner of tonight’s game between Oregon State and Sam Houston State. It’s a decision most of the LSU fanbase disagrees with because you usually hold the ace of your pitching staff for the marble game of the regional.
