LSU Fills Roster to 105 Players While SEC Pursues Federal Court Protection
LSU added two players on September 8 to reach its 105-player roster limit, effectively blocking Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris from joining the team this season. The same day, the SEC filed an amended federal complaint in Alabama seeking a temporary restraining order to protect its ability to vote on LSU's membership at a September 10 meeting, framing the case around freedom of association rather than individual player eligibility. A Louisiana state court injunction already bars the SEC and NCAA from punishing schools that add former professional athletes, leaving the two proceedings in unresolved conflict.
