Its kinda like who shot JFK. Who had the most to gain from his death? Lyndon B. Johnson. Did he have something to do with it? Maybe, but we will never know.

Jast, you are obviously an outsider with an agenda....

If you are not smart enough to realize that something like this may come back to bite you on the ~~~.

The you are not smart enough to coach at the University of Louisiana.....

The debate is over.....let it lie...

Best of luck to Coach Lee.

It is a shame to see what has happened but how can you let a man coach who does not have a certified degree from an accredited University and then expect his players to repect him for pushing them to get a degree. Somehow isn't that hypocrisy. I liked to have seen what would have been but when you start making exception and bending the rules, then someone will call you on it down the road. He had plenty of chances to come clean on his degree and he didn't. Has anyone found out how many hours he lacked to finish. I mean if it was less than fifteen hours, how stupid not to finish before going into coaching at Lamar. Money talks b*** s*** walks. His fault.

You must still be a child. Beryl Shipley was the best thing to happen to UL in Basketball, but he is to old and is probably banned from coaching at UL or any other university. Keep the spirit up.

It was 8 at the time, some may not carry over, he would probably need more today.

Funny you say that, I thought the same thing and said so on Thinking out Loud. In a perfect world "Cyprien would high tail it to class, and ask Coach Lee for a job as an assistant next season. And for this year Coach Lee would hire Beryl Shipley as an assistant.

It sure would do wonders for his pension and Cyprien's reputation in the long run.

ps just dreaming

How does a local Lafayette (UL) story get picked up first by a New Orleans paper?

First of all it is the Glynn Cyprien Story not the Nelson Schexnayder story. But what we really have wrong is we all act like this story is from out of the blue. The issue of fake degrees has been festering for some time world wide and was in the news a lot lately.

I think some curious dog decided to investigate recent hires, including the Grambling coach which incidentally the Daily Advertiser was among the first to break.

I think since the issue was frontal lobe material, it caused someone to dig into Cypriens past. Ironically coach Spears of Grambling was cleared the same day/night the Glynn Cyprien story broke.
