Clemson Warns LSU Eligibility Issues Could Breach Game Contract
- On Friday, Clemson warned LSU that fielding former professional players in Saturday's game could breach their contractual agreement, following a Louisiana judge's Thursday ruling permitting former pros to return to college competition.
- A Louisiana judge's Thursday preliminary injunction opened the door for former NFL players to return, prompting LSU to consider rostering them, while the SEC filed a federal lawsuit Thursday seeking to block this move.
- Clemson general counsel Chip Hood emailed LSU's counsel, citing "certain eligibility" issues and stating the schools' contractual obligations are "not relieved by the ongoing disputes," emphasizing Clemson "supports the position of the NCAA and our conferences."
- Despite the warning, Clemson confirmed it still intends to play Saturday's game at Tiger Stadium; according to Yahoo Sports, the university is not seeking financial damages and does not intend to cancel the matchup.
- Athletes like Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, who committed to play for head coach Lane Kiffin, are central to the dispute, as LSU President Wade Rousse stated Friday the university will respect the court's decision.
