LSU Faces SEC Fallout Over Pro Athletes | Huntsville News

Georgia’s Attorney General Chris Carr is demanding LSU be suspended or expelled from the SEC over plans to add former NFL players to its roster, calling it a direct violation of college sports principles. With a critical court hearing looming in Baton Rouge and Friday’s roster deadline fast approaching, the SEC faces mounting pressure as legal battles threaten to upend conference rules — especially after LSU’s move directly challenges new SEC policies and coincides with Louisiana state court rulings that could undermine them. The players involved — tight end Dae’Quan Wright and defensive lineman Zxavian Harris — were both previously coached by Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss and released by NFL teams. Carr’s urgent letter to SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey warns of severe consequences if LSU proceeds, framing this as a pivotal moment for the future of college athletics.
