Steve Sarkisian Weighs in on Dae'Quan Wright's Return to College Football
The league said athletes who signed pro contracts should not return, as judges granted eligibility relief for Dae'Quan Wright and RJ Luis Jr.
- On Monday, the Southeastern Conference issued a statement opposing athletes who sign professional contracts from returning to college, arguing the practice blurs the line between amateur and professional sports.
- Recent eligibility cases involving former Ole Miss tight end Dae'Quan Wright and defensive lineman Zxavian Harris seeking LSU rosters, alongside basketball player RJ Luis receiving an injunction, have intensified the debate.
- Presidents and athletic directors from the 18 SEC institutions meet in Birmingham, Alabama, on Tuesday and Wednesday to discuss creating independent rules if federal legislation stalls.
- The Protect College Sports Act failed to secure a floor vote before the Congressional recess on August 7, leaving Congress absent from Washington, D.C. until September 14.
- Athletes pursuing a fifth year of eligibility challenge the NCAA in court; the NCAA's June rule change permits five seasons but did not grandfather in outgoing athletes from the 2022 class like Wright.
