Greg Sankey advises SEC schools on athlete eligibility amid ruling

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey has issued a memo to member schools urging caution regarding athlete eligibility following a federal judge's injunction in Colorado. The ruling allows all athletes from the class of 2022 to pursue an additional season. Noting the situation as 'highly dynamic', Sankey advised teams to adhere to NCAA rules and consult with compliance offices before adding affected players. He highlighted that current SEC eligibility rules remain in force pending further clarification. Several SEC institutions, including Tennessee and LSU, have started bolstering their rosters with players who can benefit from the ruling.
