A Baton Rouge, Louisiana , judge is set to rule on the eligibility of several athletes at a hearing on Thursday, including Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, both of whom participated in NFL preseason games. "If LSU does in fact roster one or more pro athletes or demonstrates concrete plans to do so, we would strongly encourage the SEC to take all measures available to address this conduct, up to and including suspending and/or removing LSU from the Conference," Carr wrote.

"Conference members have the freedom to associate with institutions committed to following NCAA and conference rules. No institution should be allowed to ignore the obligations of conference membership while continuing to receive the benefits of membership."

The judge ruled on Friday that the SEC could not enforce its new rule that would block eligibility, but a final decision will be made at the hearing.
