Big Ten, SEC Face Contempt Motion Over NFL Player Ban

Published August 26, 2026 · Updated August 26, 2026 · NBC Sports

Attorney Ryan Downton plans to request a contempt ruling against the NCAA after Big Ten and SEC banned players with NFL contracts from returning to college football.

The conferences' policy directly contradicts a court injunction that allowed former Browns tight end Dae'Quan Wright to join LSU. Downton accused the conferences of 'cartel-like coordination' with the NCAA.

The legal team is considering appropriate responses to hold the conferences accountable, which may be part of a larger effort to build political support for the Protect College Sports Act. blablasex.es
