There are some limitations of what alumni can say in pursuit of recruits, although in the age of twitter that seems to be hard to enforce.

If it was LSU would report ASAP and self impose a reduction in scholarships. Nobody is tougher on LSU than LSU compliance.

You sure about this?

How can the NCAA punish a university over comments made by a person that is not employed by the university?

Our compliance dept needs a major reboot.

I don't feel all high and mighty and feel like LSU needs to be more strict than our competition...I've gotten no moral victory out of watching our compliance dept hold us back over the years.

Why would that be an ncaa violation? He's not on the coaching staff dude lol. He's not in any way an employee of LSUs athletic dept. It's like me, you, or any other tiger fan saying it.

A hundred years ago, a family member who presented as does Carville would have been locked in the attic and fed through a slot in the door.



I’m pretty sure the Amite folks ain’t payin’ him no mind unless he shows up at their door with a bag full of money or rattlesnakes.

Nobody has done more for Amite families than C. James Carville.


I watch football games here in Charlotte with a guy that swears he knocked Carville out in front of the Sigma Nu house.

but

it doesn't appears he named the kids by name so it should be OK
