Wasn't Trooper Taylor the coach involved? He must be right at home at Auburn.

I commend LSU for doing this. Not many programs would punish themselves for breaking the rules. Just goes to show how far apart, ethic wise, we are with some programs (cough..cough..Auburn).

the rant has such a selective memory.

this isn't a big deal at all. it's not like we paid 200K to an all world QB.

We penalized ourselves the same way for an academic tutor violation under Nicky. Also cost two scollies. The NCAA went along and took no action. It is not official unless the NCAA acts. This is a voluntary sanction.

Exactly. This is no big deal. We'll still take ~22 kids in this recruiting class.

Does this mean that our 2011 recruiting class is reduced by two scholarships?

Does the 22 we may take include greyshirts?
If not we can take 24-25 and greyshirt 2-3 raw prospects.

Relax. This simply all stems from when Lester Earl and Zeph Zinnsman took Amp Hill out to eat at Ruth's Chris.

Wow, kind of shitty indeed, but props to LSU with the self imposed sanctions. A lot more classy than Auburn, that's for sure!

The coach was also canned and the player never saw the field (as a JUCO)

IIRC the reason he received financial help was to pay his apartment bills while the slow-arse NCAA clearing house was jerking off instead of clearing him.

One assistant coach does not a staff make. His rougue actions were probably made with good intentions since the recruit in question moved to Baton Rouge only to find the NC2a clearinghouse was screwing around as usual and his scholly money was tied up. As soon as Les found out about it he took immediate action. The guy never saw the field and the coach got sacked. Case closed.
