The SEC hopes to grab the Tigers by the tail.
Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports reports that the conference is exploring various ways to address LSU's plan to add former NFL players to its team, including "extreme measures."
The possibilities reportedly include boycotting competition against the school, probation, or expulsion. The SEC also is considering filing a federal lawsuit on the issue.
It was a federal lawsuit against Texas Tech from the Big 12 that prompted the Red Raiders to abandon the plan to allow quarterback Brendan Sorsby to play this year, after he won an injunction against the NCAA's gambling suspension.
No decision is expected before Thursday's hearing on whether the pending TRO will become a preliminary injunction.

The adoption of a new college eligibility system — an age-based, five-year model designed to eliminate waivers, redshirts and roster logjams created by a surge of athletes in their mid-20s sticking in school — has been furiously challenged in the courts by members of the 2022 high school class who want a fifth year of eligibility, too.
The new eligibility system, which is replacing one that allowed four seasons of competition over five years with no age restrictions, excludes student-athletes who exhausted their eligibility during the 2025-26 academic year.
That bucket is filled with athletes who first enrolled in 2022, following high school graduation. As of an Aug. 21 report from Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger, more than 150 athletes had filed a total of 18 lawsuits across 15 states. Wins against the NCAA in state courts have allowed athletes to return to college, including football players who were in NFL camps this offseason.
The phenomenon has bewildered NFL coaches, and, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the league is clarifying its eligibility rules on Wednesday.
Here's what Schefter outlined in his report: If a player signed to an NFL contract is cut, they are a free agent, meaning they can sign with another NFL team, a CFL team or return to college. But even if a player cut by an NFL team returns to college this year, they won't be subject to a future NFL Draft because they will still be considered a free agent. Plus, any player who goes back to college this year won't be able to sign with an NFL team this season.

A report surfaced Tuesday from ESPN's Adam Schefter that former Cleveland Browns tight end Dae'Quan Wright was expected to become the first player to go from an NFL roster back to the collegiate ranks on Wednesday. Wright cleared waivers, per Schefter, and reportedly was poised to reunite with his old Ole Miss head coach, Lane Kiffin, at LSU.
Hours later, the SEC joined other conferences in adopting timely policy to prevent, among other things, a member institution from rostering an athlete who has previously declared for the NFL Draft and didn't appropriately withdraw.
Wright is one of several athletes from the 2022 high school class trying to capitalize on the NCAA's new five-year eligibility model. The age-based system, which eliminates redshirts and waivers, was unanimously approved by the NCAA Division I Cabinet in June but excluded student-athletes who exhausted their eligibility during the 2025-26 academic year, a group that includes many athletes who first enrolled in 2022. Essentially, the NCAA drew a line in the sand, much to the dismay of more than 150 athletes who have filed eligibility lawsuits across 15 different states, according to Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger. Put simply, they want in on another season of eligibility like their peers.
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay was asked about the controversy on Tuesday during training camp, and before the question was done being asked, he blurted out, "Yeah, I can't even comprehend this stuff."
"It's wild. I don't know enough about it other than the fact that guys that can be in NFL camps, if it doesn't go down for them, they can go back to college."

The college football season is approaching, with Week Zero set to kick off in a matter of weeks. However, the ongoing debates surrounding the sport have not ceased. That includes discussions about College Football Playoff expansion and the Protect College Sports Act.
The bill failed to receive a vote in a timely manner and is now being pushed to a later date in 2026. However, another issue could be on the horizon that would directly impact the way college football conferences are structured. If the Protect College Sports Act passes, conference alignment could descend into another round of chaos.
According to a Yahoo Sports report, the bill would provide a 180-day grace period from the date it is signed into law. What would that grace period allow? Schools could leave their conference without being subjected to a five-year probationary period.

"According to the amendment, if a power league school wants to move to another power conference, the school can avoid the five-year probationary period of operating as an independent if it withdraws from its league within 180 days of the bill's enactment. The expansion provision in the bill is one of the most hotly debated and divisive concepts. Multiple ACC schools are against the concept and have lobbied their lawmakers for changes to it." Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports reported.

The so-called "Protect College Sports Act" had stalled, thanks in large part to lingering objections from the Big Ten and the SEC. On Friday, it all changed.
Via Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports, the Big Ten and SEC reached an agreement with lawmakers regarding the bill that would ostensibly restore some order to the chaos flowing from decades of rampant antitrust violations. While also picking the pockets of those who play the most profitable sports.
President Trump got directly involved in the effort to smooth out the lingering issues. Senator Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) told Dellenger that a vote of the full Senate is expected next week. With a one-month recess looming, the Senate was running out of time to get something done before the midterm elections in November.
The bill, if passed by the Senate, would still need to be passed by the House of Representatives. If passed, it would give the NCAA and the various conferences a limited antitrust exemption, allowing the one-time transfer rule to be implemented and create a stricter revenue-sharing cap.
It would also prevent coaches from leaving their teams before a season ends — a/k/a "the Lane Kiffin Rule."

It may seem like a natural fit for Notre Dame football to join the Big Ten, top academics and athletics with a Midwest home and national reach, but the Irish have no current reason for make a move.
The conference is leaving the door open for Notre Dame to enter, along with the SEC and lawmakers who are proposing a league cap at nineteen teams, but there's a bit of a caveat. There would be a provision that would allow a team to join but would have "to operate as an independent for five years" as reported by Yahoo Sports Ross Dellenger.
That is a very specific clause that the two power conferences have added, as the most obvious team that the rule is targeting is Notre Dame. As with many of these idea, this one just doesn't make any sense for the Irish to do. With the NBC TV deal, all of the revenue is heading to the school, along with bowl games. Having to split that with other schools in a conference wouldn't help Notre Dame's athletic department, as the funds would be significantly cut.
Not only that, the Irish would lose its flexibility to schedule whoever they please, as there already is a solid Big Ten presence, and more SEC teams will be adding Notre Dame to their future slates. It does make sense for the conferences to leave an avenue for the Irish to join, but at this current moment, with the way college football is heading, there is no need for Notre Dame to deviate from how the football team operates right now.

Presidents from four Big Ten schools – Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State and USC – met with Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) Tuesday about the Protect College Sports Act, they said in a statement. The talks were “productive.”
Tuesday’s conversations are notable, given the Big Ten’s stance against the bipartisan legislation in its current state. The Big Ten and SEC have both said they do not currently support the bill, which is on track for the Senate floor after a Commerce Committee vote last month. Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) holds the authority to call the bill to a full floor vote.

The meetings come amid “movement” regarding revisions to the bill submitted by the two conferences, Yahoo! Sports’ Ross Dellenger reported. While not yet formalized, it remains to be seen if the submissions can help get the two conferences on board with their support.
In their statement, the four Big Ten schools acknowledged issues the bill addresses that they support. They also noted the conference’s priorities, including NIL and rev-share framework.

Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel's time in Ann Arbor might be coming to an end. Manuel's future with the school is in doubt in the wake of an internal investigation into the saga around football head coach Sherrone Moore's firing in December, sources told Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger.
Manuel, who was hired as the school's AD in 2016, has overseen a number of recent scandals, but signed a five-year extension in 2024. That extension, which currently runs through 2030, earns him more than $2 million per year; a buyout would require 36 months of severance pay unless a settlement is reached.
An announcement on Manuel's future is expected later this week, with the Michigan Regents set to meet for a board meeting on Thursday.
In December, Moore was arrested by police and fired by Michigan for an "inappropriate relationship" with a staff member. He was later charged with felony home invasion.
Moore's lawyers reached a plea deal in March, with the former coach set to serve no jail time as part of the deal. The staffer, Paige Shiver, told Good Morning America in April that the other coaches knew about their relationship, and that she was tasked with keeping Moore's emotions in check.

Former Kansas defensive end Dean Miller has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA seeking an additional year of eligibility, which he hopes to use to transfer to UCF.
The lawsuit, first reported by Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports, was filed in the Orange County Ninth Circuit Court on Monday.
Miller is not currently enrolled at UCF and the school is awaiting the results of the lawsuit before finishing the enrollment process.
He's seeking an injunction similar to the one former Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia received that challenged eligibility rules that counted seasons played at a junior college against a player's four years of eligibility at a Division I school.
The Los Angeles native began his career at the College of the Canyons, a junior college in Santa Clarita, Calif., in 2021. He enrolled at Arkansas in 2022 before transferring to Kansas in 2023, where he appeared in 36 games, totaling 65 tackles, including 13.5 for a loss with seven sacks for the Jayhawks.

On Wednesday morning, agent Ron Slavin suggested that Texas Tech gave quarterback Brendan Sorsby a nudge toward the NFL supplemental draft. The official paperwork dismissing Sorsby's lawsuit against the NCAA describes it as something much more than a nudge.
In the two-page voluntary dismissal of Sorsby's lawsuit, as posted by Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports, Sorsby's lawyers stated this: "On June 15, 2026, Plaintiff was informed by Texas Tech that, notwithstanding the Temporary Injunction Order, the University would not permit Plaintiff to play for his football team during the 2026-27 football season, thereby rendered the relief afforded by the Temporary Injunction Order moot."
In English, Texas Tech told Sorsby on Monday that the school would not allow him to play. Period. End of discussion.
It didn't matter if Sorsby was willing to hold firm with the injunction and bypass the supplemental draft. Texas Tech, per Sorsby's lawyer, told Sorsby he would not be allowed to play.
The timing is important. On Monday, the Big 12 sued Texas Tech in federal court in Dallas. The Big 12 wanted to have the ability to sanction Texas Tech, if/when it played Sorsby in a game.

Colorado's athletic director, Fernando Lovo, condemned the ruling that would allow Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby to play this season in a statement issued Monday night.
Lovo, who was hired by Colorado last winter, called the injunction a "clear affront to the competitive principles" of college sports and said the school would be working with the Big 12 Conference and its fellow Big 12 peers on the issue. The Buffs are set to host the Red Raiders on Oct. 3 at Folsom Field for Colorado's homecoming game.
Lovo did not mention the game's future in his statement. A report by Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger states that Big 12 athletic directors were considering not playing Texas Tech in any sport.
"The injunction issued today regarding Brendan Sorsby is doubling as his admitted actions are a clear violation of long-held standards of integrity in college athletics," Lovo said in his statement.
Sorsby admitted to gambling on his own team during his time at Indiana, but was made eligible by a ruling by Lubbock County Judge Ken Curry, who granted the quarterback an injunction against the NCAA. Sorsby played at Cincinnati last year and was one of Texas Tech's most significant additions in the transfer portal this offseason.

Are the Big Ten and SEC under attack? That is what it looked like on Wednesday at the Senate hearing for the Protect College Sports Act. One thing that was made very clear was the that parts of the bill that are aimed directly at the SEC and the Big Ten are not going to be changed. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss the hearing and what the fallout may be. Could this be another nudge for the Big Ten and SEC to separate from the NCAA?
Then, the guys discuss another prominent figure who was at Wednesday's hearing. Notre Dame Athletic Director Pete Bevacqua. Bevacqua openly spoke about the idea of a super league and what that would actually look like. He discussed how the pooling of rights would really only involve the top brand-name programs getting together and the schedules would be stacked with huge matchups. Andy and Ross discuss the enticing aspect of this and what would happen in the world of this specific type of super league.
Later, the guys shift to the feud between Texas and Texas Tech. Recently, Texas Head Coach Steve Sarkisian called out Texas Tech's weak schedule. Tech responded by offering to buy out both teams' Week 1 opponents so they could play each other. Texas did not accept this offer. As a response, Texas Tech Head Coach Joey McGuire called Texas scared and said in 2027 and 2028 they will be scheduling a big non-conference opponent. Andy and Ross discuss all of the drama going on in the state of Texas.

As per Ross Dellenger, Yahoo Sports, below are key points of a House college sports bill being worked thru Judiciary Committee. I’m more encouraged in the bi-partisan work being done by Senators Ted Cruz and Cory Booker. But at least it has the attention of both chambers.
