LSU Gets Stunning Lane Kiffin Punishment Prediction Ahead of SEC Decision
Yahoo Sports • • general
Key Points:
- The SEC is considering terminating LSU's membership due to the university's pursuit of former NFL players seeking to return to college football, with a vote scheduled among SEC presidents and chancellors.
- Despite the possibility of expulsion, USA Today's Matt Hayes predicts LSU will survive the vote but face severe penalties, including a multi-game suspension for coach Lane Kiffin and a substantial fine for the university.
- The dispute centers on LSU's attempt to add former Ole Miss players Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, who had signed NFL contracts, violating an SEC rule barring such players from conference rosters.
- LSU abstained from voting on penalties for this rule, and Kiffin's public comments about having professional players on the team intensified the conflict, leading the SEC to accuse LSU of lacking institutional control.
- LSU has been a founding SEC member since 1933, making the potential expulsion a significant and unprecedented move, with the conference warning that any further violations could lead to removal.
