LSU vs SEC: Players Battle Eligibility | New Orleans News

Two former Ole Miss stars, DaeQuan Wright and Zxavian Harris, are suing to get a fifth year of college eligibility after signing NFL contracts — a move that’s turned into a legal showdown with the SEC. Wright is already at LSU practicing, while Harris is on their radar, and a Louisiana judge has granted temporary permission for them to play while the courts decide. The SEC’s rule barring pro-signed players from returning to conference schools is now on hold for these schools, sparking a high-stakes court battle in Baton Rouge. With LSU’s coach Kiffin having mentored both players, their return could be a game-changer — especially as LSU faces Clemson this weekend. The SEC is fighting back, arguing schools can still be penalized even if the court allows the players back. This isn’t just about eligibility — it’s a direct clash between the conference and a team trying to win now. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
