I keep seeing people post that he got a degree, but I can't see any news article or LSU press release saying he got a bachelor's degree from anywhere.

This is probably the worst aspect of the entire site nowadays. Remember when such statements required links to support such statements or the post got whacked?

Threads and comments got whacked for that, but getting banned took a little more effort outside of a porn bomb. It had to be a personal attack. Now I am not sure how bad it has to be to get banned.

I got timeout once, over a post about the honey badger coincidentally, that was benign(in my opinion,) but 100% true

So if Kiffin didn't have a degree, LSU wouldn't have hired him? No

If Kiffin didn't have a degree, no one would have hired him originally.

Ronald Dupree came back to get his EE degree so he could get into coaching after the NBA. He was on my senior design project at lsu and was a very nice down to earth guy.
