Hour 1: What Will Happen if Lane Kiffin adds his Pro Players to LSU's Roster?

A Louisiana judge cleared Dayquan Wright and Xavier Harris to return to college football after being on an NFL roster. The SEC is suing Lane Kiffin and LSU and feels they have the right to punish schools who bring professional players back to their team roster.

The SEC disagrees with the court's decision and maintains that member universities should not place former professional athletes on their roster.

Per the rules from the SEC, Lane would be then suspended half the season, and potentially 50% of the budget there for the LSU football team would then be taken away.

The SEC and the NCAA can't actually make their own rules or enforce the rules, and if a player feels slighted they can go to the courts and win.

The ripple effects extend beyond LSU, potentially affecting college basketball and women's basketball players who might try to return after brief pro stints.

Lane Kiffin is trying to escape a mess he created by entertaining a loophole to exploit for headlines and attention. Kiffin will have to look the players in the face and tell them they aren't going to play because no program would sacrifice a coach's suspension and half the budget for one or two players.

Lane Kiffin can be blamed because the due diligence necessary on his part was something he clearly didn't do.

Lane Kiffin was willing to exploit the loophole because the mentality was if he didn't do it, somebody else was going to beat him to it. I don't think they believed that it would develop into this kind of steam, and the momentum of the entire Big Four speaking out against this was not anticipated.

There was inconsistent application throughout college sports regarding the fifth-year rule, with examples at Texas, Indiana, and UCLA. What Lane learned through the last couple of weeks is that this particular instance, DaQuan Wright, was a bridge too far.

Colorado only gave up 51 yards rushing last night, whereas last year they gave up an average of 225 yards on the ground. The defense didn't give up a touchdown, which is a strong step in the right direction.

Deion Sanders said last November that if it's the last thing he's ever going to do, he's going to rebuild this program, and he showed he was right. The team was full of hits from the portal, and Dion was able to rebuild a program on the fly in just one offseason.

The first half was rough for Julian Lewis, but the second half was much better as he started to calm down. Offensive coordinator Brennan Marion did an excellent job of calling the game to what Julian was comfortable with. Deion Sanders instilled confidence by grabbing Lewis by the helmet and telling him he's going to be okay.

Colorado dominated on both lines of scrimmage, featuring a 17-play drive where 16 plays were runs. This is a deviation from what we've expected to see at Colorado under Deion's stewardship, which previously relied on a passing attack. They still had three sacks and eight tackles for a loss, and rushed for 183 yards, indicating he got some hogs on both sides.

It would be Louisville, because Louisville has quietly been one of the ACC's best teams and has a case to be made for a playoff berth.

I don't think Clemson has the talent to be in that conversation, and it would be more of a fluke if they won this weekend. Louisville has more at stake this weekend, and beating Ole Miss is more important and more impressive because Ole Miss is better than LSU.

Clearly, the answer to this question is Clemson, because Dabo Swinney is coming off a six-loss season and people are accusing Clemson of having fallen off the map. If Clemson beats LSU, it returns Dabo Swinney back on the map and reminds the world of who he is and who Clemson is. If Clemson gets their ass kicked on national television, nobody is going to be thinking about Clemson the rest of the year.
