SEC to meet Thursday on whether to expel LSU over former NFL player eligibility dispute
The Southeastern Conference amended its federal lawsuit against LSU on September 8, 2026, asking a court for a temporary restraining order to prevent LSU from blocking a Thursday meeting where conference leaders will vote on expelling the school. The dispute centers on LSU's intent to place two former NFL training camp participants, Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, on its football roster despite SEC rules prohibiting former professional players from competing in college athletics. A Louisiana court had barred the SEC from enforcing its rule on September 4, 2026.
