SEC seguirá orden judicial que permite a escuelas fichar exjugadores de la NFL con elegibilidad extra

La SEC anunció que cumplirá una orden judicial que impide a la conferencia sancionar a las escuelas que firmen a exjugadores de la NFL que hayan obtenido un quinto año de elegibilidad, informó NBC Sports. Un juez de Luisiana emitió en agosto una orden de restricción temporal que permitió a antiguos atletas universitarios que habían firmado contratos con la NFL, incluidos exjugadores de Ole Miss, ingresar al portal de transferencias de la NCAA y buscar un quinto año de juego, informó CBS Sports. Un panel del Tribunal de Apelaciones del Décimo Circuito de EE.  UU. suspendió posteriormente una orden de distrito que habría concedido elegibilidad de quinto año a toda la clase de graduados de secundaria de 2022, según AP News.

La conferencia Big Ten adoptó una norma que prohíbe a los exjugadores de la NFL reincorporarse a sus equipos de fútbol, señaló ESPN. La NFL también confirmó que cualquier jugador que regrese al fútbol universitario será inelegible para la temporada 2026 de la NFL, informó NFL. com. La ACC está considerando una política similar, informó Yahoo Sports. El gobernador de Luisiana, Jeff Landry, respaldó públicamente el intento de LSU de reclutar a atletas liberados por los tribunales, informó Fox News.
