Judge Rules In Favor Of Athletes In LSU-SEC Eligibility Battle

LSU received a major victory in its ongoing eligibility battle with the SEC and NCAA on Thursday night.

Judge William Jorden granted a preliminary injunction to several athletes seeking an additional year of college eligibility, including Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris.

According to The Advocate's Wilson Alexander, Wright and Harris are currently eligible to play for LSU if the Tigers decide to add them to the roster.

This sets up a monstrous decision for LSU: whether to add them to the roster, which is due tomorrow.

The ruling came after a lengthy hearing Thursday in Baton Rouge that included testimony from SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, Wright, Harris, and other athletes.

The SEC also filed a separate federal lawsuit against LSU, Lane Kiffin, and university leadership in Alabama on Thursday as the legal battle continues.
