U.S. Senator John Kennedy expressed his frustration with the SEC's decision regarding LSU Football, calling it 'bone deep down to the marrow stupid,' according to WAFB and Yardbarker reports.

The controversy arises after a Louisiana judge allowed the university to add two former NFL players to its roster, despite the SEC's prohibition.

Attorney Ryan Downton, representing the players, secured an injunction and is considering holding LSU in contempt of court if it does not comply with the ruling, as reported by tsn.ca.

Wright and Harris are exploring legal options, with Downton stating his intention to pursue further action if LSU fails to add the players to its roster.
