SEC finalizes harsh penalties for schools who roster former ‘pro’ athletes

The SEC has finalized severe penalties for schools that roster former professional athletes. These harsh measures are implemented as the league maintains the right to levy additional penalties against violating institutions. Amidst these strict regulations, LSU is currently attempting to sign at least two players who were recently released by NFL teams. The league's decision emphasizes a rigorous approach to maintaining eligibility standards and penalizing programs that integrate former pro athletes into their rosters.
