Georgia attorney general urges SEC to punish LSU over former NFL players
Chris Carr is pressing the Southeastern Conference to act against LSU as a Georgia judge prepares to rule on whether ex-NFL players may play for the Tigers.
Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr has asked Southeastern Conference commissioner Greg Sankey to use any available authority against LSU if the school fields former NFL players, according to reports from ESPN and CBS Sports. The request comes as a Georgia judge is due to rule Thursday on the eligibility dispute.
Carr said Sankey should consider suspending LSU or removing the school from the conference if the Tigers roster those players. The issue centers on whether former NFL athletes can suit up for LSU this season.
The legal fight has drawn in conference officials because the ruling could affect who is allowed to play in college football games. LSU has not been reported to have made a public response in the source material.
The case is set to continue in Georgia this week, with the judge's decision expected to shape the next steps for LSU and the SEC.
