  "account": "The SEC is considering expelling LSU from the conference following a legal dispute over player eligibility, which could potentially affect Tennessee's upcoming game against the Tigers. The conference claims it has the power to remove LSU from the league in an amended complaint filed in U.S. District Court on September 8, per USA TODAY. A vote on LSU's membership is scheduled for September 10. Tennessee, ranked No. 18, will host LSU, ranked No. 8, at Neyland Stadium on November 21. This will be Lane Kiffin's first return to Neyland Stadium since 2021, when Tennessee fans clashed with him, throwing debris on the field. The SEC's lawsuit against LSU and Kiffin, filed on September 3, accuses LSU of lacking institutional control. The complaint highlights Kiffin's comments during LSU's matchup with Clemson, where he suggested the score would have been even more lopsided if the Tigers had played professional players. It is noted that 11 of the 16 SEC presidents must support expulsion for the vote to pass. Tennessee's women's athletics reporter, Cora Hall, provided additional details on the story.",
