SEC agrees to court order on eligibility for former NFL players

The SEC will comply with a court order that prevents teams from facing penalties for signing former NFL players seeking a fifth year of eligibility. LSU is among the teams that can now add multiple players released by professional teams. The ongoing legal disputes regarding the NCAA's decision to extend eligibility to these players will likely continue, as the SEC and NCAA aim for Congress to pass the Protect College Sports Act, which would grant an antitrust exemption.
