REPORT: SEC Could KICK OUT Lane Kiffin, LSU Tigers over NCAA Eligibility Fights?! UCLA @ Cal is FUN Sep 01, 2026

Show notes

15 SEC schools have reportedly gotten together to discuss how to handle LSU bringing back players from the NFL training camps, including a potential boycott. Would that really happen?

On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin and 'Locked On UCLA' host Zach Anderson-Yoxsimer discuss this week's in-state matchup against Cal. Bob Chesney could make a huge statment this week, even against a first year HC in Tosh Lupoi.

Show notes

Big Ten sets the tone for college football as Tony Petitti leads a bold rule change, shutting out returning NFL players and prompting other power conferences to follow.
