The attorneys representing ex-NFL commits Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavien Harris plan to fight the SEC’s new rule banning schools from signing former pro players. The SEC approved the ban after a Baton Rouge judge granted 33 athletes a temporary restraining order against the NCAA to return for a fifth season. Attorney Tony Clayton says that ruling also prohibits the SEC from punishing schools and players.
There will be a hearing on Monday and Clayton is confident Judge William Jorden will clear Wright and Harris to play this season.
