Wait so are you saying that the football players should get even more special treatment than the rest?
absolutely. They make millions for the university and to some our only escape from our bitching wives. They are the life blood of baton rouge and lsu. There is always exception to the rule and life isn't fair. This should be apparent after 5th grade. Andrew luck has a degree in architecture from Stanford, but can't even draw the facade of a stadium.
I don't care if they major in underwater basket weaving. The truth is they came here to play football because that is their god given gift. Half the stuff you learn in school is either irrelevant or forgotten. It's all about the paper. They deserve better then this for everything they do. They wil have no problem finding a job when they are done with lsu football if they don't make it to the league.

This is the most absurd comment I've ever seen on the rant. Players know what they are signing up for and if they follow the process, it's easy. Failing to do what needs to be done to remain academically eligible to me is neglecting part of your responsibility to your team. It's just like skipping your workout.
I might buy the argument that the kids deserve some financial reward for what they do. But let's not deteriorate the academic integrity of the school on their behalf, please.
