Pretty crazy not to claim it, it’s a rare air to have a university have 4 national titles in football. Would help open a recruits eyes

LSU was retroactively selected as the national champion of 1908 by just the National Championship Foundation.

Michigan was retroactively selected as the national champion of 1903 AND 1904 by the National Championship Foundation and only the National Championship Foundation (just like LSU in 1908) and Michigan claims those 1903 and 1904 national championships as an official championship and flies banners and flags for them.

We all love to make fun of Alabama for how they claim national championships but there’s precedent for claiming NCF titles by major schools.

LSU needs to claim 1908.
