BATON ROUGE, La. — Clemson has notified LSU that the participation of former professional football players may breach the game’s contract between the two schools, this according to Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger.

In an email sent Friday to LSU’s general counsel, Clemson’s lawyers made it clear that the Tigers intend to travel to Baton Rouge and play in the season opener for both schools. However, Clemson counsel Chip Hood addressed that “certain eligibility” issues may break “contractual obligations between the two parties.

The obligations are “not relieved by the ongoing disputes,” according to the email, obtained by Yahoo Sports.

According to Dellenger, Clemson is not seeking financial damages or in no way suggests filing legally against LSU. However, Clemson emphasizes that it “supports the position of the NCAA and our conferences regarding the eligibility of professional athletes returning to play college sports.”

The Clemson Insider learned earlier this week that Clemson officials spent days examining the contract. TCI also learned that Clemson spoke with not only LSU, but officials from the ACC and the SEC as well. The contract between Clemson and LSU includes an article prohibiting the participation of ineligible players.

As of this report, LSU has not added any former pro players to its roster, though it has until 7:30 p.m., tonight to do so. However, Thursday’s court ruling in Louisiana paved the way for such a possibility, as a judge granted a group of athletes a preliminary injunction for a fifth season of eligibility, including players who signed pro contracts and have committed to join the LSU football team.
