The SEC plans an appeal against LSU regarding roster injunction

The SEC announced Thursday that it intends to appeal a Louisiana state-court injunction that permits former NFL players to sign with LSU. This legal action follows a federal lawsuit filed by the conference earlier on the same day in Alabama against LSU and coach Lane Kiffin. The court ruling currently allows LSU to add players to its roster, with the team expected to include Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris for the upcoming game against Clemson. Friday serves as the final deadline for teams to add new players for the current period. Wright has indicated he expects to join the team and participate in Saturday night’s game. The ongoing legal conflict between the conference and the university stems from disputes regarding roster eligibility and the involvement of former professional athletes in college sports programs.
