True journalism where reporting the facts objectively was the driving force in writing a story, unfortunately, no longer exists.

Hit pieces are timed to produce maximum damage and garner maximum views. That's always the plan. The author is a huge USCe fan. No direct conflict/motivation there and the timing is purely random, right?

It's also interesting that more negative press about LSU is coming out at exactly the same time that we are courting major developers to invest $300-400M into LSU in order to make it a premier destination for both sporting and entertainment events. Nobody outside of LSU wants to see us become even more of a juggernaut and have even more of a recruiting advantage.

This isn't conspiracy theory. It's plain and simple a combination of motive and common sense.
