LSU Athletes Face Legal Battle | New Orleans News

A Baton Rouge judge has issued a preliminary injunction allowing 43 former college athletes from the 2022 graduating class to potentially return to college sports, sparking a high-stakes legal and political firestorm. The NCAA’s post-COVID eligibility extensions were revoked for this group, prompting their lawsuit — which the SEC swiftly countered with its own federal suit against LSU, aiming to block former pros from playing. As LSU prepares for its season opener, the tension escalates: state attorneys, including Louisiana’s AG, weigh in, while other SEC schools threaten conference penalties if LSU proceeds. Though the injunction offers temporary relief, the ultimate outcome hinges on a full trial — and if LSU loses, it could face severe sanctions.
