Dale Brown;
Heres what happened to LSU Basketball:

In the August 22, 2007 Baton Rouge Advocate, Lester Earl issued an apology to Brown, then-assistant head coach Johnny Jones, and LSU in general for his role in the NCAA investigation. Earl now claims that the NCAA pressured him into making false claims against Dale Brown or else he would lose years of NCAA eligibility.[citation needed]

"I was pressured into telling them SOMETHING. I was 19 years old at that time. The NCAA intimidated me, manipulated me into making up things, and basically encouraged me to lie, in order to be able to finish my playing career at Kansas. They told me if we don't find any dirt on Coach Brown you won't be allowed to play but one more year at Kansas. I caused great harm, heartache and difficulties for so many people. I feel sorriest for hurting Coach Brown. Coach Brown, I apologize to you for tarnishing your magnificent career at LSU."

The NCAA has declined additional comment on the situation. Brown says that he has forgiven Earl.[citation needed]

"The most interesting journey that a person can make is discovering himself. I believe Lester has done that, and I forgive him."

Haha smart asses, anyone know about the 5 year umbrella deal?

---

LSU doesn't fall under the umbrella of 5 years as a repeat offender, as the NCAA probation begins today (barring an LSU appeal) and any potential violations that occurred prior to today will not count against the current probation.

quote:

What does one year of probation mean? No bowl game? Limited TV games?

---

It means LSU will be severly punished if another violation occurs in the next year.

But as of now, probation means nothing as long as LSU stays clean. We still go to bowls; still get to play on TV; and Mike still gets to eat brown bear meat.

Exactly what I was just saying.

I have read every post and still haven't figured it out.
1) what happens to us if we get another violation in the next year?
2) what happens to us if we get another violation in the next 5 years?

ETA: Number 2 is what I really need to know

Then we're fricked.

You know what Probation is.

Weren't the 10% reduction in visits and limits on phone calls added by the NCAA and not self-imposed? They're relatively minor, but they are new, I believe.
