Link should be to the actual article and not to a post on Xitter. Here's the actual article: https://www.on3.com/news/sec-files-lawsuit-against-lsu-lane-kiffin-in-wake-of-push-to-bring-back-former-nfl-players/

The Southeastern Conference has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama against Louisiana State University and head coach Lane Kiffin, according to documents obtained by On3. LSU president Wade Rousse, athletic director Verge Ausberry and Kiffin are named defendants.

The news comes the same day as a preliminary injunction hearing in Baton Rouge, where the judge is expected to decide whether the temporary restraining order would remain in place until a trial date is set. If the injunction is granted, it would give LSU legal standing to play former Ole Miss and NFL players Zxavian Harris and Dae'Quan Wright. LSU opens the 2026 season on Saturday night in a top-25 matchup against Clemson.

In its complaint, the SEC requests the court “enter a preliminary and permanent injunction prohibiting Defendants from violating the Conference’s First Amendment rights by compelling the Conference to associate with conduct that is contrary to the Conference’s purpose and mission.”
