SEC Threatens LSU Expulsion in Federal Lawsuit After 51-10 Clemson Rout

Summary
The SEC on Tuesday escalated its federal case against LSU by adding a threat to expel the school from the conference.
That move comes ahead of a Thursday meeting where SEC presidents and chancellors are set to consider expulsion, which would require a two-thirds vote.
The dispute centers on LSU's use and recruitment of NFL-experienced players, which the conference says violates its rules and reflects a lack of institutional control.
LSU's 51-10 season-opening win over Clemson sharpened the contrast, with the Tigers showing a stronger running game and dominant defense as the legal fight clouds the season.
