SEC Roster Rules Under Fire | LSU Tigers Football News

Texas coach Steve Sarkisian is leading the charge against letting NFL players return to college rosters, calling it morally wrong to sideline committed student-athletes just to make room for pros. He backs the SEC’s unanimous stance, arguing it protects current players who’ve spent months preparing. But legal challenges from Louisiana and Texas courts are forcing the conference to reconsider — with a crucial hearing looming. LSU’s Lane Kiffin is navigating the chaos, exploring roster additions from released NFL players while SEC rules remain in flux. Coaches across the league are furious — Missouri’s Drinkwitz calls it a “clown show,” and A&M’s Elko questions why rules are being rewritten mid-season. This eligibility mess is now one of the most heated offseason debates in college football. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
