LSU is banned from signing early enrollee recruits to financial aid agreements for the next two years, and the program will be stripped of 10 percent of its recruiting evaluation days in 2015, according to public records obtained by The Advocate.
The penalties, handed down by the Southeastern Conference and reported by the school on Feb. 3, stem from a violation that occurred this fall involving an unnamed recruit.

Good Lord, that is stupid... I am trying to find out exactly what went wrong other then the kid not signing.

Every school has violations. Some large, some as small as buying a kid a can of coke.
But every school breaks SOME rule every year.

At least we report it
After reading that, it's the stupidest rule ever. Schools could actually use kids to get others in trouble, as well.

Why are you reading the Baton Rouge Advocate?

REC 
So I'm not fully understanding. The kid signed a FAA which let LSU have more contact, but the kid backed out. What exactly did LSU do?

Good question. This story and penalizing a Baylor kid because he was homeless and needed somewhere to stay basically sums up the NCAA.

I assume that there was contact with the kid that wouldn't typically be allowed without the FAA? There is no other reason they would have received penalties. Seems stupid to me, but schools are made aware there is a risk when they let the kid sign the FAA.

The NCAA needs to just go away or be completely overhauled. Let the Power 5s just build their own league.

How the frick is that a violation? Seems like you could set up ringers to screw opposing schools with that rule if you wanted to. That's absurd.

That didn't happen.

This seems like LSU did everything they were supposed to and even were cautious months in advance to follow the rule put in place. If there is nothing else that happened that won't go public, this is laugh out loud bullshite(laughing at the NCAA, not LSU)

But the Barn paid 200k for Cam Newton, PAWLLLL!

Hmmm. So if a kid signs a FAA with 2 schools and waits till signing day to commit then it likely guarantees that one school is going to get in trouble?

Not even close to the same. If I read this correctly schools are made aware that penalties could incur if a kid signs a FAA, contact not normally allowed without the FAA incurs, then the kid enrolls and signs somewhere else. I think it is stupid but it wasn't like LSU wasn't aware of the risk. Seems to me schools should just continue to follow the same contact rules even though the kid signed an FAA. Then they don't have to worry about it.
