LSU 2 Major Recruiting Violations since 1980

Football in the early 80s. Can't remember the exact timing or players involved. Included some players overpaid for hourly work for a local business. Not massive amounts of money as I recall.

Actually I think the other one was Brady.

He's a pretty classy guy I must say.

and probably more Tepper's fault than his, but a pretty bad LB.

anyone know what the other one is?

Does anybody else know about this?

Also, how many other SEC football programs have never been put on probation?

i still cant figure out the 2nd violation we have faced

Are you sure there is another one? I can't find one either, only one I can recall is the Earl thing.

Both are basketball.

Then why does it talk about assistant football coaches entertaining the family members of recruits (free hotel visits and free meals at seafood restaurants--gasp!) from '81 to '84?

LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY PLACED ON NCAA PROBATION



MISSION, KANSAS--The National Collegiate Athletic Association's Committee on Infractions announced today that Louisiana State University has been placed on probation for a period of one year for violations occurring in the sport of football.

Included in the penalties is a requirement for the institution to submit a written report to the NCAA by February l, l987, that identifies measures taken to ensure that football coaching staff members are knowledgeable regarding NCAA legislation.

No sanction affecting postseason competition or television appearances was imposed against the university.

One current assistant football coach was involved in a recruiting violation in the case, and action was taken to require him to complete the course of instruction regarding NCAA legislation and to limit his off-campus recruiting activities during the l986-87 academic year. The violations did not involve any other current football coach.

Although the NCAA's action completes its review of the university's football program, inquiries are continuing into the men's basketball program, and the university will appear again before the Committee on Infractions at a future hearing.

"The violations found in football were not considered serious in nature," said Frank J. Remington, chair, NCAA Committee on Infractions, "and they did not demonstrate a pattern of abuse by the football coaching staff.
