What happened: The SEC's amended federal complaint seeks to protect its ability to consider expelling LSU, according to the [court filing](https://courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/sec-vs-lsu-amended-complaint.pdf).

Why it matters: The dispute also involves the conference's planned appeal of an injunction shielding LSU's ex-NFL additions. A suspension covering the Ole Miss game would prevent Kiffin from coaching against his former team.

What to watch: Watch for the conference's decision and the effective dates of any disciplinary action.
