Big Ten, SEC Face Contempt Motion Over NFL Player Ban

Attorney Ryan Downton plans to request a contempt ruling against the NCAA after Big Ten and SEC banned NFL-contracted players, allegedly violating court orders.

With an injunction allowing former NFL players like Dae'Quan Wright to join LSU, the legal team claims the conferences are violating court orders. Downton specifically mentions 'cartel-like coordination with the NCAA' as grounds for holding the conferences accountable.

The conferences' ban may be part of a broader strategy to leverage the situation for political support of the Protect College Sports Act, aimed at cleaning up what they describe as a corrupt system. afsport.lat
