Nope. That's the problem apparently.

No but it shouldn't matter. Make an exception for the greatest scorer in CBB history. He's an NBA top 50 player and in every other hall of fame...

The girl who is the publicist was just on saying they can make exceptions. They let someone in who didnt graduate because he went to war. I can roll with that. Let Maravich in, it's fricking laughable. Wouldn't give Jamarcus Russell or Anthony ranaudo the exception but I think Pete deserves it

They named the gym after him. Pretty good consolation.

Or just give him an honorary degree posthumously and then put him in. Problem solved

No problem here, I like the rule.

If Shaq can come back for a degree, they all can.

Absolutely. It's beyond absurd. He didn't graduate and that's the reasoning like everyone said.

This is doesn't matter, LSU base member off of what other organization deem to be hall of worthy.

I don't disagree with this. But in anything you have to make guidelines and requirements. LSU says that you must be a graduate to be in the hall of fame. Therefore I have no problem with it. But to counter your argument It is my understanding that not only did he not graduate but he was actually kicked out of school because his grades were so bad.

I don't think Pistol Pete is coming back for his degree
