Let me make a flow chart for you:
Does your jersey deserve to be retired? Yes
Did you graduate from LSU? If yes, congrats, we’ll retire it; if no, sorry.

Shaq is a Dr., what do you think?

Did Pete Maravich graduate?

He came back and completed his degree.
Players who don't do that, should not expect to have the red carpet rolled out for them.
(You downvoters are what's wrong with society. Entitled, touchy-feely people. You play a game with a free scholarship, but don't finish school? No favors.)

Not sure if this is sarcasm. If not, the answer is yes, he did. He was here for four years. Just wasn't allowed to play as a freshman (what a dumb rule that was).
Edit- I stand corrected. Even though he was here for four years, he somehow did not graduate. I would like to know how that's possible.

Pete Maravich never graduated.

LSU placed Maravich on probation and then expelled him.

Well-spoken response from him.
I get the sense that he knows he doesn't meet criteria (the degree), but clearly he would be honored by it.
He tries to play it off, but notice that he happens to recall "averaged 30.2 pts a game". Not "a bunch", not even "30", but "30.2".
I think if he gets on Wade's good side, this may happen. He was an elite player not too long ago, with highlights on the internet. That would help recruiting, I think.

Loved him as a player, 2 years should not qualify.

I think he stopped going to class after that last basketball season ended.

Pete Maravich never attended classes at LSU. Once he finished his senior year he was expelled.
Chris Jackson absolutely should have his number retired. He’s top 5 all Time at LSU.
