- Although East Baton Rouge Parish Judge William Jorden ruled for the athletes Thursday, the SEC filed a separate federal lawsuit in Alabama alleging the school violated the league's 'First Amendment right of expressive association.'
- Both Wright and Harris remain enrolled at LSU, leaving the possibility of their addition to the team later this season as the legal battle continues.
