Yes,

But what happens to a school that commits another violation while they are on probation?

Isn't LSU also talking to the NCAA about the $$$ paid to a recruiter? and isn't that a different inquiry than these punishments?

my bad.

_ Mostly it was for using "burner phones." Coaches use pre-paid cell phones to contact recruits outside of the purview of the NCAA. When someone gets hot to the number, the phone is trashed. All cash, no paper trail. _

but the tigger officials said that the 3600 calls were mostly clerical...oh, no, no, no!!! you mean the folks at good ole state u were actually (gasp!) cheating? sacre bleu!!

Yes there was UL news ---The interview of Coach HUD was as fine of a conference as I have seen---He pointed out where we were and what we have done to improve and where we hope to go---This was characterized by the combination of the Freshmen coming in and the senior leadership and the process of entire team ---He mentioned the peripherals of community and recruiting in juxtaposition of the actual on field work----I guess we owe Bruce Brown some cudos for his filling in on the Belt's meeting----Actually HUD entertained many more questions and answered them most articulately!!!!!

well yes there is UL news. But not a whole lot of it right now. I'm not taking a shot at anyone covering UL or anything, there's just not as much to talk about at this time of year.

Neither D.J. McCarthy nor Akiem Hicks made much of an enduring impact during their brief tenures at LSU , and for allegedly "major" NCAA violators, they're not leaving much of one for running afoul of recruiting rules, either. As outlined in a 22-page ...

It's as if only DJ McCarthy and Nicks were cheating...yeah....that's it. They were the only ones that cheated. We didn't know anything about phone calls or transportation or anything. They came in here and they did all the cheating. Yeah that's the ticket.

Not true. Look at today's Advertiser. The SBC preseason press conference is underway and there were 2 UL articles and 2 SBC articles. My only beef is that the lead article was still LSU.

Isn't the Sports Editor Bruce Brown, a UL alum and former sports writer. Why isn't he putting UL first and why doesn't he set up the paper with a UL section and an LSU and other universties section, like the Monroe paper does with sections for ULM, LA Tech, Grambling and LSU? UL first in its hometown newspaper. Shouldn't be that hard a concept to grasp.
