LSU Police Department officers arrested a member of the LSU baseball team Feb. 14 for shoplifting in the Student Union.

Officers responded to a shoplifting complaint from the Union at 10:41 a.m., according to Sgt. Jason

Bettencourtt, LSUPD spokesman. When officers arrived, Tyler Jones, 21, of 1514 North 57th St. in Milwaukee, was detained in the shop manager's office.

Bettencourtt said the manager saw Jones grab a drink and a bag of chips before leaving the area without paying. He said the manager approached Jones about the stolen merchandise, and Jones replied he stole them because he had no money. Bettencourtt said Jones was transported to the LSUPD office before being released with a misdemeanor summons.

Jones was suspended for LSU's opening baseball weekend against Wake Forest.

Does LSU baseball provide jobs to players? Thought I read at least in football it's against NCAA rules.

THIS. The football team gets 85 scholarships and the baseball team only gets like 13 to spread around the whole team. All these kids are on partial scholarships (1/4 or 1/3, etc.) and a lot probably don't have the money to buy what we all take for granted. It is a damn shame the NCAA doesn't allow us to be more generous with our athletes. But lets all make fun of the poor kid after a great performance yesterday.

Not sure about baseball, but in football they def get jobs in the offseason, don't think they can have them during the year. I worked with a few football players. Though worked would be a foreign term to them.

11.7 for a roster of how many?

ESPN The Magazine just did a big story about NCAA sports that split 'em up. Paul Maneiri & the LSU Beisbol program are mentioned prominently as folks who have lived-and died-by the draft & the scholarship splitting and divvying.

You basically have to be a capologist to work it all out.
