What happened: Speaking on his coaches show Thursday, Lane Kiffin warned that the potential residency requirement would prompt athletes to leave for other conferences. The current LSU roster features several prominent SEC additions, including edge rusher Princewill Umanmielen and wide receiver Eugene Wilson.

Why it matters: The transfer limitations surface as commissioner Greg Sankey explores self-governance approaches amid ongoing NCAA antitrust litigation. The conference previously threatened substantial penalties for programs involved in eligibility disputes regarding athletes who signed professional contracts.

What to watch: Conference presidents will discuss the proposed one-year residency requirement next week.
