Here's Mandel's response to that.

"We get that some players will inevitably run into academic or disciplinary troubles, and that a coach is well within his rights to cut such players loose. What we don't get is how Saban is magically able to project exactly how many such players will run amok each year so he knows how many scholarships he can afford to give out to recruits."

Want to know why LSU oversigned last year? Because they believed Brad Wing would not qualify. Want to know why they thought that? Because the NCAA friggin' told LSU he wouldn't qualify.

The argument that LSU is "immoral" starts with the school standing by Brad Wing and trying to reverse an NCAA decision that would have barred him from getting into school. The more "moral" act would have been to ditch Wing and not have the extra player. What a crock.

So use Saban's name in the article and leave Les and LSU out. It seems like Les is one of the coaches that limits the oversigning. Isn't Porter the only example of a greyshirt offer being required since Les has been here? And is it that big of a deal that Porter was asked to wait one semester for his scholarship?
