Texas A&M coach Mike Elko compares the LSU-SEC standoff to parenting, as the conference weighs a historic move against the Tigers.

LSU's decision to back down gives the SEC a major victory in the first real test of the league's self-regulation authority

In what appears to be a de-escalation, LSU president Wade Rousse told Greg Sankey that the Tigers have "complied" with SEC rules and that the "issue is moot."

In defiance of conference rules, LSU and Kiffin tried to add two professional football players, Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, to the Tigers, citing recent conflicting court rulings about an extra year of eligibility for players in the 2022 recruiting class.

Louisiana State University could still face penalties as the Southeastern Conference prepares for a conference call Thursday to discuss the player eligibility saga.

LSU president Wade Rousse sent SEC commissioner Greg Sankey a letter, dated Wednesday, to “clear up the allegations against LSU.”

SEC schools are meeting today and could vote to suspend LSU football coach Lane Kiffin before his return to Ole Miss, according to USA TODAY.

The SEC's injunction hearing against LSU was postponed just hours after the Tigers filled their final roster spots and ended a key dispute.
