re: Patrick Miller, Ol, ex commit....is it really over?

Victoria Lowery got an academic scholarship and in-state tuition at Bama. I'm pretty sure they could make something happen for Patrick Miller at LSU for one semester.

How do we know Victoria Lowery didn't legitimately qualify for it? Do you know what her grades, scores and extracurriculars were? Even if LSU does offer him in-state tuition, that's nearly $10,000 out of pocket, and he cannot receive any institutional financial aid. The cost of dorms, meal plan, books, etc. does not change if you qualify for in-state tuition.

I am a full-time student with no job studying overseas in Japan.

If you can afford to be in that situation, you are obviously a different case than most LSU students.

If I'm a gifted athlete and given the opportunity to play football on scholly for LSU but would cost me one semester out of my pocket, I'll gladly pay. But that's just me.

Yes, that is just you (and me). But we are die-hard LSU fans who (just by example) probably pay hundreds of dollars a year just to find out recruiting information and watch 5 minutes of spring practice videos. Patrick Miller is not one of us.
