SEC-LSU Court Hearing Postponed As Both Sides Work To De-Escalate

The federal court hearing between the SEC and LSU scheduled for Wednesday has been continued and will be heard at a later date as tensions between the two sides appear to be cooling.

According to ESPN's Pete Thamel, the situation has "generally de-escalated" following LSU's decision to finalize its 105-man roster without former NFL players Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris. LSU filled its final two roster spots with Gabriel Reliford and Aidan Anding, effectively ending the possibility of adding Wright and Harris this season.

Court documents confirmed Wednesday's hearing has been continued and that a new date will be set in a separate order.

Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger added that LSU President Wade Rousse and SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey have recently held positive conversations as LSU works to de-escalate the situation.

The hearing had originally been scheduled for Wednesday afternoon in Birmingham, Alabama, as part of the SEC's federal lawsuit against LSU.

While legal issues between the two sides remain unresolved, Wednesday's developments appear to represent a significant cooling of what had become an increasingly contentious battle between LSU and the conference.

Haha they are backing off the federal suit. Wonder why? Wright and Harris are about to sue all 3, which will put the NCAA in direct violation of the already issued restraining order. Looks like Wright and Harris may yet still get paid.

Too bad, I wanted our day in court. Judge "Mr. Sankey, what evidence do you have" Sankey - "A CBS news article with anonymous sources" Judge: "Anything else" Sankey: "No your honor" Judge: "Case dismissed, next"

Wha flying under the radar is the fact that Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky and South Carolina all have players you participated in NFL camps. Why is this a non-issue?

The difference, supposedly Wright and Harris signed something while all the other players that went to NFL mini camps didn't. Indiana has 3 players that were in NFL mini camps. Indiana had the oldest team in CFB history last year and guess what? They are the oldest this year. Curt SNAKEnetti is a snake.

Relationship permanently damaged by Sankey. If he stays LSU should pursue other options

If this were a Saban coached team, the question would have been, are you sure you only want to add two pro players. You know there are several more you could sign to your roster Mr. Satan I mean Saban
