The SEC has filed a lawsuit against LSU and Lane Kiffin that asks for an injunction overruling a recent decision in a Louisiana court that allowed more than a dozen former college athletes to return to college despite concluding their eligibility this past season.
Filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, the SEC lawsuit also names LSU President Wade Rouse and athletics director Verge Ausberry.
LSU and Kiffin have come under intense scrutiny after the latter welcomed into his program former athletes who had already participated in NFL training camps, including potentially key additions who played for Kiffin last season when he was the coach at Mississippi.
