BATON ROUGE — A Louisiana judge delivered a profound ruling amid an ongoing legal fight that the NCAA, and in this case the Southeastern Conference, has found itself in all over the country.
East Baton Rouge 19th District Court Judge Will Jorden granted a preliminary injunction that allows 31 athletes a fifth year of eligibility in college after more than nine hours of court proceedings on Sept. 3. The court order paves the way for LSU football coach Lane Kiffin and his program to safely add ex-NFL players Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris to the roster.
It marks the first time that a court ruling has allowed for professional athletes to return to college, a notion that could send shockwaves throughout collegiate athletics.
