LSU Self Imposes Football Recruiting and Scholarship Restrictions

LSU has self-imposed restrictions on its football program as a result of an internal investigation that revealed violations of NCAA rules, as announced earlier this year.
The self-imposed restrictions include a reduction in official visits for the 2010-11 academic year, a reduction of initial scholarship recipients by two for the 2011-12 incoming class, a reduction of the overall scholarship counters by two for the 2011-12 academic year and a reduction of the total number of National Letter of Intent/SEC scholarship papers that can be offered to prospective student-athletes by two for the February 2011 signing date.
"LSU took quick and thorough action when we discovered these violations, and we are hopeful the NCAA will ultimately agree with our assessment of this case," Chancellor Michael Martin says. "The reports to the NCAA and SEC and our decision to self-impose penalties are the culmination of many months of arduous work by our compliance office. and I am confident their thorough examination of this case has produced appropriate sanctions for the football program."
LSU reported the violations to the NCAA and SEC in two reports. The first report was delivered to the NCAA and SEC in March 2010, and focused on recruiting activities involving one assistant coach and one student-athlete. Before that report was submitted, the two involved individuals both left the University, and the student-athlete never participated in a game for the Tiger football team.
In addition, during the course of the investigation, LSU discovered other violations pertaining to improper telephone calls between non-coach administrative football staff members at LSU and prospective student-athletes, their parents or their high school coaches. Those violations are detailed in a report submitted to the NCAA and SEC in October 2010.

I'm skimming through the report, and it all seems to be minor stuff. The prohibited conversations/phone calls all look like they involved administrative type stuff, like applying for admission, getting a dorm room, getting high school transcripts from the school, scheduling official visits, etc. I understand the need for some of the rules, but none of this seems all that big of a deal.

Seems to be more self-imposed penalties than necessary given what it was.

It is kind of a big deal. But since we punished ourselves..the NCAA should leave us alone.
We took care of the coach who gave him the free housing..and removed the kid from the university.
We did everything we were supposed to do..and now we gave our self some hefty penalties. It happens..but it could be worse.

Well, LSU has now officially become an Unclean Program under Les Miles.
That taint will never be erased. It is now part of our permanent history.
Just Wonderful ...
