re: Lawson reasoning for being asked to grey-shirt: ESPN

Even if LSU guided him on the courses, my understanding is he didnt do well on them, i think this may be the third time he is trying to retake this course. As the semester goes on, it would become apparent he is not doing any better than before. The new SEC signing rules really penalize both players and schools who sign someone who is not a qualifier. Once they sign, if they dont qualify, that slot is gone for that year. It s unfortunate but its very important to take care of your schoolwork as well as your football work. I hope the young man can get his grades up, but not much time is left.
