I can't provide a link because my source is tigerbait.com and you have to pay for access but the article is called "Replacement Rule Costs LSU" by Bryan Lazare. He mentions the following as an afterthought but I found it bizarre that Lee was enrolled in winter intersession. "The five scholarship players who graduated were Will Blackwell, T-Bob Hebert, Mitch Joseph, Jarrett Lee and James Stampley. Lee earned his degree after winter intercession, which ended Jan. 4. Stampley, originally a walk-on, was placed on scholarship this past semester."
Surely, given the lofty expectations of the season, Lee did not plan on enrolling in winter intersession because, from what I understand, classes taken in winter intersession are extremely time consuming. Maybe Lee was unable to fully focus on the gameplan leading up to the NC and therefore Miles did not feel like he was ready. Perhaps a grade issue forced him into taking an intersession class just to graduate. Just a thought. It's the only way to explain why he didn't play in that game.

Most intersessions dont offer upperlevel courses you would expect a Senior like Lee to take. So likely it was some introductory course. I cant imagine it being so time consuming Lee couldn't focus on the game plan.

I think this is plausible.. If Miles has been covering up final semester grade problems for JLee then it might explain why his playing time steadily decreased over the course of the fall semester. That being said, I also think that Miles felt like this season was JJ's from the start when he had such a great offseason and had "impressed at the manning passing academy" so when he had the opportunity to re-insert him into the starting line-up at Bama he thought the timing was perfect. If Miles thought JLee hadn't earned the playing time due to lack of preparation I could also see a few players taking exception to this at halftime. Not saying, I'm just saying.

If it was a 3 hour class and most semesters have maybe 16 weeks, that's 48 hours of class time that needs to be covered in a 2 week span. The intersession class even is held on Saturdays as well as during the week. I'd say that anybody that takes an intersession class is pretty busy.

That's not saying he wouldn't have time to re-prepare for a team we already played.
