Louisiana governor says SEC holds next steps in LSU roster dispute

Summary

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry stated that the ongoing standoff regarding the LSU football roster is now entirely in the hands of the SEC. LSU finalized its 105-man roster on Tuesday, omitting former Ole Miss players Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris after previous legal maneuvering. A Louisiana court had granted an injunction allowing the players to be rostered, but the SEC responded with a federal lawsuit in Alabama seeking authority to expel LSU from the conference. LSU President Wade Rousse confirmed in a letter to commissioner Greg Sankey that the school has complied with conference rules by locking its roster with other athletes. While the SEC continues to seek legal recourse, a federal hearing previously scheduled for Wednesday has been postponed with no new date set.
