LSU’s Bold Move Amid SEC Fallout | LSU Tigers Football News

LSU’s head coach Lane Kiffin made a bold move by leaving two former NFL players—Wright and Harris—off the roster, despite a judge ruling them eligible, to avoid jeopardizing the team and university amid a brewing SEC showdown. The conference, which bans players who signed pro contracts, is threatening severe penalties—including game boycotts—and even sued LSU for allegedly recruiting pros. Both athletes, cut before training camp after going undrafted, followed their ex-coach to Baton Rouge. This clash underscores the chaos of NCAA’s new five-year eligibility rule and the growing legal battles over college sports. Kiffin remains unfazed, calling the situation “not distracting” and embracing his polarizing reputation, hinting that greatness often comes with being hated.
