Big Ten, SEC Face Contempt Motion Over NFL Player Ban

Attorney Ryan Downton plans to request a contempt ruling against the NCAA after the Big Ten and SEC banned players with NFL contracts from returning to college football. The move follows an injunction that allowed former Browns tight end Dae'Quan Wright to join LSU, potentially violating the court order. ipl-today.in

The legal team is considering 'the appropriate legal response to hold the Big Ten and SEC accountable for their cartel-like coordination with the NCAA.' The conferences may be leveraging the situation to build political support for the Protect College Sports Act, aiming to address what they call a 'corrupt system' in college athletics.
