If I was LSU I'd start including a clause that gives them an out as far as a situation like Stewart's; basically one that says non-enrollment equals termination of contract and THEN go argue the case to the NCAA or SEC, whichever the case may be, with that as the basis. Non-enrollment = invalidation of 1 yr offer = never happened = don't count it bitches.


These things are done under the auspices of governing bodies like the NLI, NCAA, and SEC. You can't arbitrarily change the rules and be a member. As long as there are no rules limiting stricter standards, you can impose stricter standards like high academic requirements. But you can't violate the minimum like once you sign, you count.

So they can't protect themselves from such incidents. That's just poor design.

However, with the new rules one could argue that another kid, more than likely in-state, is losing a scholarship because of that. LSU isn't losing a player... a player is losing financial aid "taken" by another player who can not be required to hold up to certain terms.

Without these new rules, that would not be the case.
