'The SEC tries to villainize LSU:' Gov. Jeff Landry speaks about LSU, SEC dispute
- On Thursday, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry appeared on Fox News to criticize the Southeastern Conference for its federal lawsuit against LSU, arguing the league lacks legal grounds to sue on First Amendment grounds.
- The Southeastern Conference filed suit after LSU attempted to add two former NFL players, Dae'Quan Weight and Zxavian Harris, to its roster, though the university later elected not to roster them.
- Landry called the Southeastern Conference's actions 'ridiculous,' arguing it is 'extremely dangerous' for Greg Sankey to continue this legal strategy, and warned that litigation could cost universities 'hundreds if not billions of dollars' in liabilities.
- Although threats to expel LSU have dissipated, the Southeastern Conference may still impose sanctions, with Landry noting the matter remains 'in the SEC's hands right now.'
- By the time the LSU Tigers play the Aggies on September 26 at Tiger Stadium, the league's final decisions regarding potential punishments for the university will likely be handed down.
