The SEC is weighing LSU’s conference membership as a federal court fight over players with NFL experience threatens a founding member’s place. The SEC’s school presidents and chancellors will meet Thursday to discuss whether LSU should remain in the conference. The dispute centers on a league rule that bars teams from returning players with NFL experience to their rosters. LSU helped found the Southeastern Conference in 1933, but that history does not end the dispute. Removing the school would require support from at least two-thirds of the conference’s CEOs. No final vote or removal has taken place. But the SEC has already taken the fight to federal court, raising the stakes well beyond a routine roster disagreement. Two LSU…Open

Dabo Swinney's Clemson program hit its lowest point in nearly three decades Saturday night, falling 51-10 to LSU in a season opener that now forces the university to confront a $57 million question about its head coach's future.

LSU’s 51-10 thrashing of Clemson in Baton Rouge has reignited debate about whether Dabo Swinney can still deliver for the Tigers after years of declining results and costly decisions. LSU didn’t just beat Clemson on a stormy Saturday night in Baton Rouge, they steamrolled them. The 51-10 rout wasn’t close, and the box score paints an even grimmer picture for a program that once stood atop college football. Swinney’s Tigers managed just eight first downs to LSU’s 38 and a paltry 40 rushing yards. By halftime, Clemson had already switched quarterbacks. Christopher Vizzina, who started, threw for only 83 yards on 16 attempts and gave up a pick-six. Freshman Tait Reynolds relieved him, tallying just 22 passing yards and…Open
