Could Legal Action Get Devin White On The Field Against Alabama?
LSU says the SEC will not overturn Devin White's suspension for the first half of the Alabama game, because of targeting a Mississippi State player. So can legal action be taken? Legal analyst Tim Meche says LSU would have no problem finding a Baton Rouge judge to grant a temporary injunction, but it comes with a risk.
"The SEC, if he plays in the game, can impose severe penalties and sanctions on LSU and they may even ban them from a bowl game," said Meche.

Suspended Hahnville High School quarterback, Andrew Robison, received a court order to play football, but he's yet to take the field, because the LHSAA could hand down future penalties. Meche says the same thing could happen to LSU, if a judge ruled White can play Bama.
"If I was LSU, I wouldn't play him and risk the idea there could be sanctions and penalties if they decided to defy the SEC," said Meche.
Meche says it would be a stretch for a group of fans to file a lawsuit against the SEC and get a judge to grant a temporary injunction against the suspension and it's unlikely LSU or White will take legal action. Meche's advice as a legal mind and fan is that Tiger nation needs to move on.
"I worry it may distract the players from preparing for the game," said Meche.
