This talk was going to start sooner or later...

Edited... They just doubled down on the argument.. even attacking Michael Bonnette...

Look away, LSU fans. You’re not going to like what you see below. Because no college football fans want to see any of the guys playing for room, board, and snacks consider the possibility of paying for their own room, board, and snacks.

Fournette argument strikes a nerve in Baton Rouge

But good luck making a business decision when employees of LSU will attack even mere question of whether a business decision should be made as an “insult” to the player.

He would never do that to the team, so you might as well delete this.

Too bad for them, Fournette is an alpha, compared to their beta opinions.

It's really worked out well for the other guys that have done it 
Posted on 9/30/15 at 10:04 am to yaherrdme
That's idiotic

Worked out for JaDaveon Clowney
Posted on 9/30/15 at 10:04 am to yaherrdme
I wouldn't blame him that much but he doesn't seem like the type and it wouldn't look like a very good attitude going into the draft after the whole Clowney situation.

Only bitches do this

Florio should definitely log off.

TM7 did it, kinda. He's just fine.
But that's completely different.

I could see someone doing this if they were an out of state kid
Fournette likely grew up his entire life being an LSU fan and a Saints fan. It's not likely that he'll get drafted by the Saints (because the Saints would be dumb enough to pass on him) so this is his one opportunity to play for a team that he grew up loving. I'm sure he'd rather play next season than do nothing. He's a competitor.

What else would you expect from the cesspool that is NBC and Mike Florio
Posted on 9/30/15 at 10:07 am to yaherrdme
The 3 year rule is not the problem, people like this are the problem.
Clearly this guy thinks money is the only important part of football.

Clowney is from South Carolina.

Weren't there always concerns about him taking plays off though?

He's a 49ers fan fwiw. "Not a Saints fan at all" is what he said in an interview.

Serious question. How would taking the year off effect endorsements? He could potentially make more on endorsements than his rookie contract right? If he took the year off, he'd be out of the spotlight for an entire year. While currently, he's the most talked about player in the nation. Keep the spotlight for endorsements.

well, Lattimmore would advisee LF to take some time off. if LF get Lattimore type injury, then will this board say too bad that's football. this is a reasonable business decision for LF to consider.
