SEC issues statement on Thursday meeting about 'recent matters involving conference expectations'
Conference leaders discussed LSU’s roster dispute and federal litigation, with no vote taken after the school dropped plans to add former NFL players.
- The Southeastern Conference presidents and chancellors met Thursday by video conference without imposing punishment on Louisiana State University , discussing recent matters involving conference expectations and responsibilities.
- Tensions escalated after the SEC sued LSU in federal court last week, alleging violations regarding the signing of former NFL players Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, and threatening to terminate the university's membership.
- LSU finalized its 105-man roster for the 2026 season without including Wright or Harris, rendering the dispute moot; LSU President Wade Rousse confirmed the decision in a letter to SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey on Wednesday.
- Under head coach Lane Kiffin, the Tigers dominated Clemson 51-10 in the season opener, demonstrating strength without former pros and climbing to eighth in the AP poll.
- Discussions will continue as the SEC and its member universities work toward an appropriate resolution, while the federal court hearing in Alabama remains postponed to a date to be determined.
