re: Four LSU football players academically ineligible for 2012 season

This is the most absurd comment I've ever seen on the rant. Players know what they are signing up for and if they follow the process, it's easy. Failing to do what needs to be done to remain academically eligible to me is neglecting part of your responsibility to your team. It's just like skipping your workout.

I might buy the argument that the kids deserve some financial reward for what they do. But let's not deteriorate the academic integrity of the school on their behalf, please.
