Is this an NCAA thing or an LSU thing?

Your own link answers your question. It belongs to LSU.

He's brought in way more revenue this year to LSU and Louisiana than that ball will ever be worth. Let him keep it.

The exchange between Burrow and the referee was hilarious... and the referee basically shrugged his shoulders and let Burrow tuck the ball and walk off the field.

I doubt this is a big issue for Burrow, but if he wants to keep it, LSU should not by any means get in the way of that, given all he's done.

of course not. Players are awarded "Game balls" quite often.


And, Burrow is no longer a Student-Athlete with eligibility. Any of us (or, LSU) could give him anything we want now

Kind of weird. Orgeron gave him the game ball after the SEC title game but Joe said he wanted the one after the national championship. LSU should give him that ball.

This always bugs me. There are no less than 4-12 "game balls" used throughout the course of a game like this. Just because the last snap involved this particular ball doesn't meant the other 3-11 balls aren't "championship" or "game" balls.

My immediate inclination is thst he was giving g it to ensminger.

He didn’t know about the crash until after the OU game was over.

If they actually sold it I'd be furious. Joe would be the only individual I'd even be close to ok with keeping it.

Obligatory, "it belongs in a museum!"

They need to display that football at football ops
Take another ball from the game and give him that one.

They give out game balls, so yes he can keep the ball.

I am sure LSU will not ask for it back.

There is no rule on game balls, and every team since before I was born has given out game balls.

Burrow should have the ball and be able to keep it.

Any bets on if the ball Joey returns is the one he walked off the field with?

I will bet no and no one will know.

I gotta side with JB9 on this one. LSU is out of line.

This is bs. if LSU has to take possession of it to stay out of trouble do it.then publicly gift it back to him.just can't make it a habit I think or every big game we will be out of at least 1 football
