If you're Javonte Smart and LSU tells you you can't play.

WTF? He either knows he took money or knows he's completely clean. So if I'm told I'm sitting for the SEC championship game and I dindu nuffin, I'm fricking livid. As a school, what the hell to you tell Javonte? "Sorry baw, someone mentioned your name on a phone conversation and you can't play now we don't care what you say"?? The whole thing is fricking rediculous. How do you sit someone without PROOF?!? Especially in a game as big as this. If he's clean I feel so sorry for the kid.

This whole think stinks like Alleva's arse.

Zero reason to sit the kid. It’s all optics.

...and if he is ineligible in the end, sitting him now does nothing.

Smart should be playing and Wade should be coaching.

Has the NCAA even started an investigation yet?

I dont even know why lsu is concerned about anything right now.

Hopefully it’s just this game to appease the media and take some heat off for a few days.

How can they justify this based on the info they have? There is no proof that Wade is even talking about him. On top of that there's no proof he took any money. Does the university have the right to make him sit for no reason? As much as this kid talked about loving LSU and his home state, I'd be embarrassed if I were LSU.

ETA: whatever useless dick bags are down voting this can go choke on Alleva's ballsac.

This. If he's ineligible the season is vacated anyway, if hes not then you just sent the message you trust Yahoo over your own players.

I wonder if he can apply for a hardship and play elsewhere immediately next year. I'd think he has a pretty good case against the administration for discrimination.

Could Benford do that? It would be amazing. Wonder if they'd stop play?

Well fortunately it appears Smart has a great attitude about all this and is front and center cheering on his team mates and being a leader even though he can’t play tonight

Depends. Will we keep paying him the next few years or not?

If the kid is guilty, he sure as hell isnt acting like it.

What does sitting this game solve if he is guilty? Alleva wants to be able to have one game against Vandy not vacated?

No evidence but sit him just because Dick Vitale screams loud? Smart sitting makes absolutely no sense in any way.

I'm glad Javonte at least was able to cut the net. It's a DAMN SHAME our pussyass cuck of an AD took away him playing tonight. Abundance of caution my arse
