SEC Takes LSU to Federal Court | Huntsville News

The SEC is suing LSU in federal court to force a special vote on kicking the Tigers out of the conference, claiming they’ve violated longstanding professionalism rules by recruiting players who’ve already signed pro contracts — including at least two currently enrolled and practicing. The league accuses Coach Kiffin of leading a deliberate campaign targeting former players with ties to NFL teams like the Browns and Eagles. The SEC argues enforcing these rules infringes on their First Amendment rights, while Louisiana’s AG calls the lawsuit “legal garbage.” A state judge previously blocked enforcement, but the SEC now seeks a federal order to stop LSU and state officials from interfering with a September 10th vote that could expel the school — warning the dispute threatens the integrity of college sports. LSU and Kiffin remain silent on the latest filing as the legal battle escalates. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
