Clemson just dropped a bombshell on LSU ahead of their Saturday night season opener, sending an email Friday that screams “contractual obligations” could be busted wide open. We’re talking about “certain eligibility” issues, according to Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger, and Clemson general counsel Chip Hood isn’t messing around, hitting up LSU’s general counsel directly.
This whole mess blew up because a Louisiana judge granted an injunction on Thursday. It lets players who spent time in NFL training camps return for a fifth year of college ball. Guess who’s looking to suit up for Lane Kiffin’s LSU squad? Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, both ex-NFL camp guys.
But here’s the kicker: the SEC, LSU’s own conference, has rules against former NFL players returning to the college game. So, yeah, it’s a huge potential clash of rules and a judge’s ruling, all while these two powerhouses are about to kick off their season. LSU and Clemson face off tomorrow night, and this eligibility drama is hanging heavy in the air. You gotta wonder if those guys will even see the field.
