Kiffin Defies Conference Rules on NFL Players | Huntsville News

College football just got a whole lot hotter — and messier. The SEC and Big Ten have slapped new rules banning players who’ve played in the NFL, NBA, or WNBA from returning to college, sparking fire after LSU signed tight end Dae’Quan Wright, a former Cleveland Browns player. Lane Kiffin, Ole Miss’s fiery coach, is not buying it — he slammed the conferences for ignoring court orders that cleared over 100 athletes to play, calling it a “tough spot” they’re putting themselves in. While Kiffin admits he’s not thrilled about NFL stars coming back to college, he sees Wright’s case as an exception — and his team’s ready for the spotlight. He even revealed other schools, including his own alma mater, tried to lure Wright with big money, but he chose LSU. Now Kiffin’s being painted as the face of this controversy — even though he’s not alone in the recruiting race. This clash between courts and conference power could reshape college sports forever.
