- The Big Ten, SEC, ACC, and Big 12 have banned former NFL players from competing, but LSU plans to continue signing them, relying on legal protections.
- Other SEC schools are considering strong measures against LSU, including boycotting games, imposing probation, expulsion from the conference, or legal action.
- Discussions among SEC university presidents and lawyers are ongoing, with some stakeholders describing expulsion talks as "serious" due to mounting frustrations.
