The former head of Louisiana’s higher education board is calling for the resignation of LSU President King Alexander. In an opinion blog piece posted online March 15, Richard Lipsey, who served as chairman of the Louisiana Board of Regents from 2016-2018, blasts Alexander for his “lack of leadership” at LSU on recent athletic controversies, scandals within the Greek system and a new holistic admissions policy that takes effect this year.

Lipsey’s complaints are rooted in his displeasure with another controversial administrator at LSU, Athletics Director Joe Alleva. Though Alleva was hired five years before Alexander came to LSU, Lipsey blames them both for bungling the “leaked courtship” of Jimbo Fisher to be head football coach in 2015, the “un-firing of Les Miles” later that season, and, more recently, the decision to suspend Will Wade, the university’s first winning basketball coach in more than a decade.

Wade was caught on a wiretap in a federal probe into illegal college recruiting practices, though there have been no allegations of wrongdoing or charges brought against him.

“There should be no delay in replacing (Alleva) immediately with a respected interim

I recommend that we all start buying our Vandy Commodores gear now, because come 2020, they may the the only SEC program left standing.

When I say dumbass ..... you come to mind.
You arent a LSU fan.
There are several of you here that reply negatively to every thread that normal fans approve of.
So GTFO and KMFA.


Hope Wade is reinstated tomorrow and you losers go back to sulking.

Why would anyone anchor this thread?

Is there something wrong with the article that the board admins disapprove?

Coachgeaux was in this thread earlier doing his thing (Bama troll that keeps stirring up the OLOL stuff)... probably why it got anchored. Has nothing to do with article content

One of you are welcome to copy/paste into a new thread... I’m sure it would be fine.

No seems some of the Admin here disapprove of WW.
I don’t get it.
I’ve seen them pull for LSU before.
Maybe the compliance department replaced them with clones.
