Attorney Tony Clayton plans legal action against the SEC and Greg Sankey

Attorney Tony Clayton intends to initiate legal proceedings against the SEC and commissioner Greg Sankey. The move follows an amended federal lawsuit filed Tuesday by the SEC, which threatened to expel LSU from the conference. This dispute centers on the conference's current bylaws that prohibit players from the NFL, NBA, and WNBA from participating in collegiate competition. LSU has faced pressure to reconcile its roster policies with existing SEC regulations regarding professional athletes. Clayton represents former NFL players who were previously recruited by or bound for LSU. The potential legal action serves as a response to the conference's ultimatum regarding the school's defiance of these rules.
