Judge Issues Injunction Allowing LSU to Sign Former NFL Players
A judge has issued an injunction that permits Louisiana State University (LSU) to sign former NFL players, allowing them to join the team for the 2026 season. This decision follows a temporary restraining order and affects over 40 athletes who now possess both NCAA and SEC eligibility.
The ruling comes with a deadline for roster additions set for Friday. LSU's potential move to include these players may provoke a strong response from the Southeastern Conference (SEC), which has reportedly considered severe actions, including the possibility of expulsion from the conference. In anticipation of this situation, the SEC has filed a federal lawsuit aimed at blocking LSU from signing these former professional athletes.
