It never ceases to amaze me how stupid many of the posters there on this site. One is contact by celebrities or former players with recruits and one is firmer players with surrender players. Do you understand? As it pertains to Odell Beckham,the NCAA is nit going to go after LSU because if father and son contact. Bo Bahansen keeps LSU straight. And you people throw out moron at former coaches and you can't even read th difference as to the type of contact??

Sone of you all are the reason why a lot of people hate LSU


Is this post a joke or did you boil your crawfish in alcohol?? It's geauxld.

As for the topic, it's stupid that schools have to waste time "self reporting" on garbage like this that is so insignificant.

So are we to believe that Bo Jackson, Shaq, Tebow, Flutie, name them all are barred from meeting recruits in any on-campus setting?


That sure is a random list of examples you came up with

A handshake should never be a violation unless a C note is being passed. Think about that for a second, a handshake. A handshake is a ritual as old as our species. How can it be a violation?
From the NCAA's perspective, actually the rules as written, a former player is considered a booster.

So forget about the former player stuff and think of it in those terms. You have a booster having a 'bump' with a recruit. So now you in that set of rules.

This is LSU compliance's doing. They get off on getting their name in the paper sticking it to the program.

The first step back to excellence is the dissolution of the compliance office or filling it up with orgeron sycophants

It's a double edged sword. It's the old 'give an inch, take a mile' adage.

If the compliance department is working under the athletic staff or coaches, you end up with major penalties eventually it seems. If the coaches (or boosters) control or influence the oversight, eventually they will take advantage of it. It's human nature.

An independent compliance department will naturally keep coaches (and boosters) at arms length and, again human nature, err to the side of seeing gray areas as bad. To them loopholes are traps; to us and the coaches loopholes are to be exploited until closed.

If it were up to me: treat the compliance staff as adversaries, frick the high road, and exploit the loopholes. Problem is, a compliance staff CAN BE useful in finding said loopholes. Just not that way at LSU.

I will admit, LSU's compliance dept being quite strict maintains that independence and then when you self report frequently it does keep you out of real bad trouble. That's the trade off.

When our compliance office started making dumbass videos like this is when I knew wed be on the downhill slide. They forgot their purpose. Cover shite up. Its become a badge of honor for them to turn the football program in. I couldnt care less if an 18 year old from the inner city gets paid to do nothing over the summer. The compliance office shouldnt be there to prevent violations. Its job is to ensure there is plausible deniability. This is the SEC for crying out loud. We dont get trophies by going 8-4 the "clean" way
