SEC LSU Fallout and Senator Kennedy's Push | New Orleans News

LSU’s potential expulsion from the SEC is sparking outrage, especially after Senator John Kennedy called the idea “bone deep down to the marrow stupid,” vowing Congress will push back if the conference moves forward. The controversy erupted when a Louisiana judge allowed LSU to add two undrafted NFL players to its roster — men who never played a pro game — defying SEC rules. Critics argue this is a double standard, since the SEC permits athletes with overseas pro experience to compete immediately. Meanwhile, a new bipartisan bill, the Protect College Sports Act, aims to shield sports organizations from lawsuits and prevent players with pro experience from returning to college — a move Senator Kennedy supports, but with a twist: he wants to add a cap on ticket price increases at just 4% annually. The bill’s future remains uncertain, but the debate is heating up. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
