For the second time this summer, a power conference has gone to court against one of its schools

The Southeastern Conference filed a lawsuit Thursday against LSU, one of its founding members nearly 100 years ago, to prevent the school from allowing players returning from NFL training camps to play on the Tigers' football team. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Birmingham, Alabama — the SEC's headquarters — and asks for a court injunction barring LSU from violating the SEC’s First Amendment rights by forcing it to “associate with conduct that is contrary to the conference’s purpose and mission.” Listed as defendants are LSU, its board of supervisors, school president Wade Rousse, athletic director Verge Ausberry and new coach Lane Kiffin. The filing came while SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey was testifying at a hearing in a Louisiana state court in Baton Rouge to defend the conference's ability to enforce its rules against professional athletes playing on its members teams.
