SEC seeks expulsion of LSU as conference files lawsuit against university

The SEC filed an amended federal lawsuit against LSU to seek authority to expel the university from the conference following a dispute regarding player eligibility. This legal action coincides with the continued involvement of head coach Lane Kiffin, who has faced criticism for his recruitment of former NFL players. Although LSU maintains the option to roster Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, the school left both players off the roster in their recent 51-10 victory over the Clemson Tigers. A Baton Rouge judge recently granted a preliminary injunction that prevents the SEC and the NCAA from punishing schools for fielding former professional athletes. As the legal battle between the conference and the university intensifies, the status of LSU’s eligibility and future roster remains a central point of contention for the league.
