The LSU Tigers have been in the process of adding players who have signed professional contracts, according to recent reports. The SEC is contemplating expelling LSU from the conference if this situation continues. Despite the NCAA and SEC rules prohibiting players from joining after signing a professional contract and intraconference moves, a Louisiana court has ruled in favor of the players, granting them an extra year of eligibility and preventing the NCAA and SEC from enforcing their restrictions.
While the SEC is complying with the court order, it is exploring extreme measures, such as expulsion, to address LSU's plans. Several high-ranking officials within the SEC are considering boycotting competitions against the Tigers, imposing sanctions like probation or expulsion, and even filing a federal legal challenge. One SEC stakeholder expressed frustration, stating that "enough is enough" and questioning if other schools would take LSU's place. This unexpected turn of events comes just days before the start of the season.
