Lawyers for RJ Luis Jr. ask judge to block SEC from intervening to keep him off LSU's roster

Lawyers for RJ Luis Jr. ask judge to block SEC from intervening to keep him off LSU's roster Lawyers for RJ Luis Jr. are asking a Louisiana judge to block the Southeastern Conference (SEC) from intervening to keep him off LSU's roster if he is added to the Tigers' roster. The request was part of a petition filed in state district court in East Baton Rouge Parish, where Judge Ronald R. Johnson recently granted a preliminary injunction against the NCAA, which argues that Luis is ineligible to play. The SEC has accused LSU of violating its professionalism rules by trying to add Luis to its roster, a rule which prohibits teams from adding players with major professional experience to their rosters. The conference has updated enforcement provisions to clarify these rules, stating that the commissioner has the power to suspend coaches, fine universities up to half of a sport's budget and restrict a member university’s voting privileges on conference matters. Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill has criticized the SEC's stance, calling its federal case "garbage."
