Les Miles Is Cutting Off Bar Access To His Players

As someone who has worked with college and high school students, I can tell you that they do not react very well to blanket punishments. For every idiot who does something stupid, there are probably 25 who are responsible and do the right thing, and they won't like being treated like they did something wrong.

If you want to curb these bar incidents, you just say "If you get involved in a bar fight or something similar, then you're done. Gone. I don't care what your story is."

Great reactionary idea. I wish Les well on enforcement.

I am Jack's bitterly disappointed penis.

I definitely see the wisdom in his decision, no argument there.

But damn. Sucks to be a stud LSU player and not be able to go collect some ploot at a bar.

The first rule of "Fight Night Club" is that you don't talk about "Fight Night Club".
DAMMIT, MILES THERE'S ONLY ONE RULE AND YOU FORGOT IT !!

Fair or not, with the high profile of being a football player at LSU there is an added responsibility to one's behavior. The players should be aware of that and it is just part of the whole package.

I know I liked going to bars when I was in college. I can see how recruits would hate this even if their parents like it.

No cool Baton Rouge Bars for Recruits? No good 4-5 Star Recruits for LSU

if they want to be a part of LSU sports they should all be barred from all bars all the time. It may save a few

Charlie Mac had that rule in place back in the day.

You must be 18 yrs old CJ47. If not, your brain is!!!

Good ole Reggie's.....better a stabbing than a VD.

According to my friend who played for Miles in his first few years, it was known to the LSU players that at OSU, Miles did this, and the players weren't too happy about it. Turns out he didn't enact that then, but still.

I wonder what the current players think.

@purpleleaf

horrible correlation. miles is not their boss. he's their coach. its in their best interest. If they dont like it, they can go play at some juco where nobody cares.

Jimbo Fisher did the same thing this past Summer.

Should have done this in 2011

These tiger land bars are the problem, not the players wanting to drink. There should be extra police presence at these bars after dam.

"recruits mom's and dad's will actually love this"

do they play football?

recruits mom's and dad's will actually love this

Wow I hope my boss doesn't tell me I can't go to bars anymore.
