What happened: RGIII argued jersey retirement is an honor that should not be demanded or used to pressure a school. Attorney Adam Kenner sent the cease-and-desist, ordering LSU to stop using Jayden Daniels' name, image and likeness.
Why it matters: LSU rules allow a retired jersey number to return at the head coach's discretion, separating ceremonial recognition from permanent retirement. The criticism adds scrutiny to how schools honor former stars while retaining control over roster numbers.
By the numbers: Daniels' LSU license extended 180 days beyond his final college game; Kenner's letter was dated Aug. 5.
What to watch: LSU's response and its future use of Daniels' likeness are the next developments.
