_ just because the ncaa deemed him qualified does not mean he was deemed qualified by lsu. every school has different admission standards. _

just making a point that just because he is cleared to play by the ncaa does not mean he can play anywhere in the country. i'm sure there are kids out there that we would love to take a chance on but we cant b/c of our admission standards. the poster said that he was cleared to play anywhere in the country, which the ncaa cannot say you are cleared to play at one school and not another. you are either cleared to play or not, where depends on the schools standards.

_ Our fans often wonder why we can't get a home and home series with some C-USA schools and most thought it was a school simply looking down at us. Your reasoning makes sense since your boosters who pay a lot for the suites demand the 6 home games a year. We will be looking at stadium expansion/improvements in the near future and will likely be facing the same scenario as you. Every school wants to see BCS competition in their own stadium and, I agree, playing UL in the SuperDome would not benefit either school. It appears that the only long term solution is conference realligment in the near future that will bring us into the same conference. And, a conference with 12 members and a championship game that will help solve the scheduling dilemma. _

Glad to see you seem to understand. As they said in the Godfather, "Its the business we have chosen" and no room for personal preferences or what even seems most logical sometimes. I saw a La Tech poster state that neither USM or Tulane would play them because we are "scared" and might lose a recruiting edge. First, USM holds a dominant winning record over La Tech. Secondly, we go after same recruits sometimes but USM barely loses. Fact is, of Techs 4 commitments so far and 11 for USM I think only two were considering both schools and USM snagged both. Tech recruits in Texas and USM seldom goes there. Truth of the matter is, USM cant afford a one and one with Tech because it throws off the scheduling balance. If they want to come down one and done or ten and done then it could be arranged. USM will not go to Ruston. Ms State AD set up a one and one with them and it was huge factor in him getting canned.

Louisiana schools have higher admittance standards than Miss school - take much higher ACT scores.

The NCAA did deam him eligible, but it was late in the year before he became eligible so LSWho could not wait on him.

BS. He was one of our first signees to receive clearance from the clearing house. Brown wanted to play close to home with a lot of people that he was friends with.
