Big Ten, SEC Ban Faces Court Challenge

Big Ten and SEC's ban on former NFL players from returning to college football may violate a court injunction, prompting a contempt-of-court motion against the NCAA.

The Big Ten and SEC's decision to ban players who have signed NFL contracts from playing for their member schools could face legal challenges. Attorney Ryan Downton, who secured an injunction allowing players like former Browns tight end Dae'Quan Wright to join LSU, plans to request a contempt ruling against the NCAA for permitting conferences to violate court orders.

The legal team is considering "the appropriate legal response to hold the Big Ten and SEC accountable for their cartel-like coordination with the NCAA." The conferences may be leveraging the situation to create political will for the Protect College Sports Act, which aims to address what they see as a corrupt system. livefromquarantine.club
