SEC still undecided on LSU punishment after virtual presidents' meeting

The SEC presidents met virtually to discuss potential penalties for LSU over its pursuit of NFL-bound players but left without a decision, saying discussions will continue toward a resolution. LSU president Wade Rousse attended only briefly due to his status as a defendant in the SEC’s federal lawsuit. LSU also decided not to sign two former Ole Miss players, freeing roster spots for two injured players, and the league removed a vote to expel LSU from the agenda after LSU’s actions. The saga traces to an Aug. 19 TRO and SEC rules banning players with pro contracts, with ongoing litigation and implications for LSU basketball as well; no final punishment has been decided.
