SEC Targets LSU Over Player Rules | Dayton News

The SEC is poised to oust LSU from the conference after accusing the school of lacking institutional control over its athletics program, citing a dispute over rules for players with professional experience. With 15 other SEC CEOs reportedly urging action, a special meeting is set for September 10, 2026, to vote on LSU’s removal — regardless of what LSU does next. Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill publicly backed the lawsuit, criticizing the SEC’s leadership. The fallout began when head coach Lane Kiffin defiantly opposed the SEC’s professionalism standards, prompting the league to argue that LSU’s conduct undermines the conference’s governance and integrity — a major blow for a founding member since 1933.
