The SEC included expulsion language in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-art-dealer-served-jail-time-and-allegedly-defrauded-investor\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Art Dealer Served Jail Time and Allegedly Defrauded Investor\">federal court filing<\/a>, highlighting concerns about LSU&#8217;s actions that may violate league rules and values.The conference argues it needs legal authority to prevent professional athletes from competing in college sports and claims LSU&#8217;s efforts to activate two NFL-signed players, who did not make the league, threaten the league\u2019s standards. LSU&#8217;s coach lane Kiffin has avoided adding these players to the roster, despite ongoing efforts by LSU and Kiffin to find ways around SEC restrictions. The SEC has scheduled a meeting to decide whether to remove LSU, which is a founding member of the conference. The case involves LSU players Dae\u2019Quan Wright and zxavian Harris, who signed NFL contracts but were granted a court injunction to play. The SEC maintains it has the right to enforce its rules, and multiple sources suggest there is enough support within the conference to oust LSU if necessary.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Southeastern Conference is seeking the legal authority to expel Louisiana State University as the fight over former professional players continues to play out.<\/p>\n<p>According to a Tuesday morning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/college-football\/news\/sec-legal-authority-expel-lsu-court\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> from CBS Sports\u2019 Brandon Marcello, the SEC added the expulsion language to an amended federal court filing.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">SEC statement on its amended complaint in its federal lawsuit against LSU, in which it reveals the conference CEOs will meet Thursday to decide whether to expel LSU from the conference. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MsH9isKGxq\">pic.twitter.com\/MsH9isKGxq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Brandon Marcello (@bmarcello) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/bmarcello\/status\/2097349109321494903?\">September 8, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The conference says it needs legal protection to enforce rules that bar professional athletes from returning to college sports.<\/p>\n<p>The SEC\u2019s filing argues that keeping LSU in the conference could violate the league\u2019s rights and values as the school looks to activate two former college players who signed NFL contracts but didn\u2019t make the cut in the league, according to CBS Sports.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/bmarcello?\">@bmarcello<\/a> with the latest surrounding the amendment the SEC filed today against LSU &#038;
