Hearing in SEC's lawsuit against LSU and Lane Kiffin delayed after LSU doesn't roster former pro players
The conference filed its suit ahead of Week 1 as LSU flirted with the idea of signing two players who were on NFL training camp rosters.
A court hearing in the SEC's lawsuit against LSU and coach Lane Kiffin has been delayed after LSU completed its roster for the 2026 season. The hearing, originally scheduled for Wednesday, has been pushed back to a later date. LSU filled the final two roster spots with former professional players, Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, who were not permitted to play in the conference due to the SEC's rules.
Sources report that the decision to delay the hearing came after conversations between LSU president Wade Rouse and SEC commissioner Greg Sankey. Despite the roster completion, there is still a chance for Wright and Harris to join the team later in the 2026 season, but their current lack of roster spots eliminates their participation for that year.
The SEC's membership of LSU in the league remains under scrutiny, with a Thursday meeting of SEC schools set to discuss the situation.
