SEC Seeks Legal Right to Expel LSU
The conference is seeking the authority to expel LSU.
The SEC has filed an amended lawsuit against LSU, seeking the legal right to expel the university from the conference. The filing comes after LSU did not roster two ex-NFL players for its opener against Clemson, prompting conference pressure. The SEC aims to establish its authority to remove LSU, which would require a two-thirds majority vote of conference leaders, or "CEOs," to take place.
The lawsuit also names LSU's Board of Supervisors and Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill as defendants. The SEC's statement emphasizes the conference's right to govern competition and uphold its principles, which members are expected to follow.
