Big Ten, SEC Ban Draws Contempt Motion

The Big Ten and SEC's ban on players with NFL contracts may violate court orders, prompting a contempt-of-court motion against the NCAA.

The Big Ten and SEC's decision to ban players who have signed NFL contracts from returning to their member schools is facing legal challenges. Attorney Ryan Downton plans to request a contempt ruling against the NCAA, accusing the conferences of blatantly violating court orders that allow players like former Browns tight end Dae'Quan Wright to join LSU.

The conferences may be strategically leveraging the situation to build political will for the Protect College Sports Act, which would address what they describe as a corrupt system creating chaos in college athletics. betsport.cv
