NCAA Lawsuit: Players Fight for Final College Season
6 Sep
Summary
- Two players cleared to play are not on LSU's roster for Saturday's game.
- Players are suing the NCAA in Louisiana for a fifth final college season.
- A judge granted a preliminary injunction allowing schools to play named athletes.
Tight end Dae'Quan Wright and defensive tackle Zxavian Harris, recently cleared for college football after NFL tryouts, have not been added to LSU's roster for Saturday's game. Sources indicate neither player was expected to participate even if rostered, due to limited recent practice.
The former Ole Miss players are part of a lawsuit filed in Louisiana, where 42 athletes across various sports are seeking a fifth and final season of eligibility. Their former coach, Lane Kiffin, is now at LSU, and they expressed intent to join him there.
This legal challenge is aimed at the NCAA, SEC, and various universities. However, a judge has granted a preliminary injunction, preventing the NCAA and SEC from penalizing schools that allow these specific plaintiffs to play. This ruling offers protection only to those named in the lawsuit.
