Big Ten, SEC Ban Faces Court Challenge

The conferences' decision to ban players who have signed NFL contracts from playing for their member schools may be in violation of a court order. Attorney Ryan Downton, who secured an injunction allowing players like former Browns tight end Dae'Quan Wright to join LSU, plans to request a contempt ruling against the NCAA "for permitting conferences under its purview to blatantly violate court orders."

The conferences may be using the situation to push for the Protect College Sports Act, leveraging what they perceive as chaos to fuel political will for congressional action to address what they call a "corrupt system." truewildgame.com
