Is there nothing LSU can do to get him to play against FSU?

If there were, it’s already been done.

What would happen if LSU just said frick it, we aren't listening to you?

We’d have to forfeit the game for playing with an ineligible player, and since we’re on probation it would likely come with pretty severe fines, loss of scholarships, recruiting visits, probably a postseason ban, etc…Playing him is not an option unless the NCAA decides to benevolently change their minds, which is 1) not what they do, and 2) make them more feckless than they already appear.
