Breaking: LSU RB John Emery Is Ineligible For The Rest Of The Season

The universities hold these kids hands all day long. Emery obviously chose to be the next Ben Simmons of LSU.

I couldn't disagree more. This is John Emery's responsibility. Also, not every student-athlete will make good money as a pro or even have an opportunity to go to the NFL. It's important to have an education as a fall back plan, at least.

Why are you so certain the "wrong class" is actually the issue?

The entire staff needs to be fired for gross incompetence

They’re getting paid now, well some of them. Figure that should be enough.

Only a small minority of college football players make the NFL.

That’s an excuse

I’m with everyone that thinks this is a way to help him save a little face. Saying it was a scheduling mishap instead of him failing the class in general sounds better for him in my opinion. Some want to blame O and LSU, but the people in charge have been helping athletes schedule classes for a really long time, so I’d imagine they knew what he needed to take. I mean there’s a reason he was needing to take these classes in order to be eligible and it wasn’t bc they messed up his schedule in this past fall as well. I hope he gets his grades together and sticks with it and shows out once his is able to play again. Deep down I feel like the next class he enrolls in will be transfer portal 101.

I know some are quick to upvote literally anything negative about O, but this is so damn dumb. No it’s not… Not only is this probably saving face for the kid, but there is an entire team of academic advisors that are in charge of this if this truly was the reason. But I assure you, that’s not the case.
