Louisiana judge rules against NCAA, clearing path for ex-NFL players to join
LSU roster

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) --- LSU coach Lane Kiffin's chances of fielding former
NFL players improved Thursday night when a Louisiana judge issued a preliminary
injunction against the NCAA in a high-profile eligibility case.
East Baton Rouge Parish Judge William Jorden issued his ruling the night before
LSU was due to submit its 105-man roster to the Southeastern Conference, which
last week announced heavy potential punishment for football and basketball
teams that bring in ex-pros.
The ruling clears the way for LSU to list some former NFL players on its
roster. How many games they might be eligible to play remains to be seen as the
matter continues working its way through the courts.
