LSU, Players Gearing Up for Potential Battle With SEC Over Eligibility
The SEC wants to block players who went pro from returning.
Louisiana players facing SEC sanctions over professional football experience
Two LSU football players, Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, are preparing for a potential legal battle with the Southeastern Conference (SEC) after being granted a temporary restraining order by a Louisiana judge. The order allows the players, who have signed NFL contracts, to return to college programs despite the SEC's attempts to block them.
The SEC voted Tuesday to sanction teams that roster former professional athletes in football and basketball. LSU, which has supported players on this issue, is likely to do the same. The case could set a precedent for college sports conferences and their ability to enforce rules beyond what the NCAA can.
