Georgia urges SEC to suspend LSU over NFL-linked roster moves

Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr sent a letter to SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey urging the conference to suspend and potentially remove LSU if the Tigers roster former NFL players, arguing college sports should be for college athletes and vowing to pursue all measures in court. The move comes as LSU faces a preliminary injunction hearing in Baton Rouge and follows SEC rules restricting pro-player rosters, which Carr says LSU has signaled plans to follow by bringing on players who spent time on NFL rosters this summer. The situation unfolds amid legal questions raised by a Louisiana judge’s ruling on SEC punishment limits for players returning from NFL rosters.
