re: Do you think LSU football players care about LSU or are they just concerned about the NFL?

There is no way to generalize the players. Some care about their team, some their state and their legacy and some just care about themselves. Hell some may not care about anything. It’s up to our coaches to find the right players and build chemistry. The same could be said of regular students as well fwiw. I went to school with plenty of students from other states who didn’t give AF about LSU. Some learn to love it and some want to get to a job as soon as they can. People that act like everyone should commit their souls to LSU aren’t seeing it for what it is. It’s college kids who are getting free tuition in exchange for their talents.

Who knows what others are thinking, or their agenda. As long as they give their best on and off the field is what matters. But to answer your question I think those who really cared about LSU are the ones who give back to LSU. It may be financial, personal involvement, speaking proudly of the school, and keeping in touch with the program.

I didn't care about LSU as an institution until after I graduated. You don't know what you have until it's gone.

Some do and some don’t. Your higher rated guys who e been told by parents/handlers certain things from a young age don’t have the same thoughts as a kid who grew up loving LSU. That being said there are some great players who truly care about LSU
But overall the top kids look at it as a business deal, that’s why they do the whole “for the next 3 years I’m taking my talents to” BS

I would rather we reward kids who want an education first and foremost. The way things have been changing with these low income kids only wanting to showcase thejr talents to get a hefty payday Im tired of it. And now like the OP mentioned, opting out is gonna be the way of the futute. We already see it in basketball.

Go watch one of the old Jamal Adams videos that pissed off the Jets fans a few years ago. Dude is an All-Pro....but as passionate about LSU football as anybody I've seen. I think it absolutely means something to them....(Watch Bregman throwing "L's" and checking LSU scores during games. Yes, it's baseball, but you can tell LSU means alot to him. NFL players always make bets on their former teams when they play....

Isn’t that why we all went to college? To get paid!
We (mostly) focused on our studies to the best of our ability to get our degree and to get a job. I see most of the players doing the same thing. Shooting for their dream of playing professionally.
