Mike Scarborough of Tiger Bait shared that the family will seek legal means in order to get Emery reinstated with the school:

Emery was reportedly ruled ineligible by the school because he registered in the wrong class. Emery, who was supposed to be the starting running back for the Tigers, ran for almost 400 yards last season with 3 touchdowns.
So far this season, Emery hasn’t played against UCLA or McNeese State. Head coach Ed Orgeron had described the situation as day-to-day.
