Overview
- The SEC's presidents and chancellors met by videoconference on Thursday and concluded discussions without voting to expel LSU or announcing penalties, saying talks will continue.
- LSU finalized its 105-man roster without former NFL signees Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, a move LSU president Wade Rousse said on Tuesday made the conference's case moot.
- The SEC has an active federal lawsuit it amended to seek authority to enforce its rule banning former pros and to pursue the option of expelling LSU, with a federal hearing postponed.
- The conference recently expanded enforcement powers to allow the commissioner to suspend coaches, impose fines up to half a sport's budget, and restrict a member school's voting rights.
- State-court injunctions that restored eligibility for some 2022-class athletes plus the SEC's federal case have created a fragmented legal fight that will play out case by case and could shape who sets eligibility rules going forward.
