The SEC spring meetings have brought about lots of talk — although thus far little tangible action — about sweeping changes in college sports, particularly college football. Advocate sports columnist Scott Rabalais is there in Destin, Fla., following it all and trying to make sense of it. Today's LSU Sports Insider focuses on the changes, where we think the College Football Playoff and SEC football schedules are headed and where it all leaves LSU. And of course the existential question: Is all of this actually good for college sports? And will the SEC and other conferences ever stop their power play? #lsu #lsufootball #geauxtigers #collegefootball #sec #secfootball #secmeetings #cfp

The LSU baseball team returned to No. 1 in the national rankings after taking two of three from Arkansas over the weekend.

Our LSU Insiders — beat writer Koki Riley and columnist Scott Rabalais — join Zach Ewing to discuss, with an eye on a resurgent offense, a pitching staff that may have found another ace and much more. #lsu #lsubaseball #geauxtigers #collegebaseball #collegeworldseries #secbaseball #sec
