re: Was the "witchhunt" LSU's own doing?

How exactly is it stupid to think LSU might be extremely concerned, to the point of paranoia, that any more trouble during our current probation will land the program in a world of hurt? That rather than try to make it all hush-hush, they encouraged the whole public investigation, and certainly made it clear that the starting QB wasn't going to get cut any slack?

If there been NO investigation, it wouldn't have surprised anyone, but with JJ's name being dropped in a police report and the blurry iphone video (which proves nothing) popping up, we'd pretty likely have been flagged for some serious further NCAA investigation.

So while it sure seems like BRPD is going overboard with this all, it may be to protect the university. Again, nobody with any sense can claim LSU is doing anything on JJ's behalf.

It doesn't now.

If someone had made it go away, and there was an appearance of boosters giving hush-money, board members encouraging law enforcement to drop investigations, or anything like that to protect the starting QB, the NCAA would likely set up an office in Baton Rouge until they could burn the program.
