SEC member schools will hold a vote on September 10 to determine whether to expel LSU from the conference. The move follows a lawsuit filed by the SEC on September 3 against LSU and coach Lane Kiffin. The legal action stems from the inclusion of two former Ole Miss players, Zxavian Harris and Dae'Quan Wright, on the LSU roster following a court order. While the Ole Miss and LSU football game is currently scheduled for September 19 in Oxford, its status remains uncertain should the expulsion proceed. If the game is cancelled, it would no longer be considered a conference matchup and would likely result in the loss of a scheduled appearance by ESPN's College GameDay. Expulsion requires approval from 11 of the 16 SEC presidents, with Ole Miss Chancellor Glenn Boyce included in the voting group.
