re: Hester stirring the pot regarding John Emery Jr.

Prob a waiver to extend time to get the right number of class credits

Not stirring the pot, it seems he just wants to squash the rumor that puts the blame on LSU for Emory’s ineligibly instead of himself.

Hester named a kid after Les.

"Oh the tangled webs we weave when we first set out to deceive..." The truth is like holding a beach ball under the water, soon or later it WILL pop to the surface. Just gotta wait for it.

It’s pretty clear to me that Emery did something that is embarrassing/sensitive, and is why everyone is giving the run-around publicly

Like others have mentioned as a possibility, i think cheating of some sort

let's be honest--- this sounds like academic dishonesty

Where did the “took the wrong class” thing even start? Was that Hannagriff?

And let’s be honest. LSU, dating back to Saban, has had a pretty damn good track record of keeping kids academically eligible.

If I had to guess, like Baskerville, he had to take & pass a summer school class to be eligible, and he didn’t.

So if he took the wrong class, the issue is not GPA or number of credits.

The guy is a sophomore majoring in interdisciplinary studies, right? What exactly are "required" classes at this stage? Did he fail to take a required freshman class or remedial class?

Does anyone know, concretely, what the NCAA academic eligibility requirements are?

I've been trying to make this make sense in my mind, and it doesn't. I don't see how taking the wrong class is the issue.

Privacy rights of students may unwittingly allow the conspiracy assholes to fill the void by making stuff up.

At this point nothing is verified by anyone. The "took the wrong class" thing doesn't sound credible to me. So long as the student is enrolled in class and passing, it doesn't matter what classes they take toward a major. When I was an undergraduate I worked with the counsellors to create an interdisciplinary major, and I got the degree.

So long as the student is actually enrolled and earning passing grades, you can make a major.

Furthermore, if he had to re-take a specific class but didn't do it, he would have had to know which class he needed to take, because he would have failed it at least once before.

Until we get some confirmation somewhere, we would do well to withhold our outrage.
