ESPN issued an apology Saturday after political commentator James Carville alleged on College GameDay there was a conspiracy by the SEC to help Alabama.
Carville, an LSU alum, was asked about the first-half suspension for Tigers linebacker Devin White, who was ejected for targeting in the second half of his team's previous game against Mississippi State.
The controversial call left the home team without one of its top players against No. 1 Alabama for the first 30 minutes.
Carville, who was wearing a shirt referencing SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, offered this:
"Tennessee’s best defensive player couldn’t play against Alabama because of the SEC, Missouri’s best defensive player couldn’t play against Alabama because the SEC kicked him out," Carville said. "A&M’s best defensive player couldn’t play against Alabama because he was taken out.
"And now, the best defensive player in the conference is not going to play the first half for nothing, he did nothing wrong."
