Here’s when judge will rule on SEC vs. LSU temporary injunction
SEC commissioner was on the stand for two hours.
The SEC will have a chance to rule on a temporary injunction preventing the NCAA from barring former pros or fifth-year college athletes from returning to college football Thursday night, according to Trey Wallace. This comes after several athletes testified in Baton Rouge, defending their right to compete in college despite previously playing professionally.
SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey defended the league's authority to enforce its rules, emphasizing the need to maintain a line between professional and college sports. The SEC has also filed a lawsuit against LSU, alleging the school has been recruiting professional athletes in defiance of league rules. Former NFL and NFL players, Zxavian Harris and Dae'Quan Wright, testified that they would not have turned pro if they knew they might have another year in college.
Both athletes earned about $1 million in college. The case has raised questions about the league's actions and whether it is engaging in potential collusion with other U.S. sports leagues.
