Not really. The law of averages doesn't neccessarily apply for several reasons:

1) There are a great many football teams tht went long periods of time not getting caught, just like a great many criminals did. That does not preclude them from getting busted in the future.

2) Most of the time a team gets turned in, its either from an instate rival (see Alabama and Auburn) or when you snatch recruits out of other people's backyards (see Texas A&M, SMU). Neither of these problems apply to LSU, so it stnds to reason that they are less likely to get turned in than other schools, NOT less likely that they have cheted.

The simplest explanation that fits the facts is that LSU doesn't cheat. In 118 years of playing football, you don't play dirty and not have it come out eventually.

As I said before, one of the two, count 'em, two penalties LSU football has received involved a cheeseburger. That was the slap on the wrist I mentioned.

Compare that with some of the headlines you're reading now, and it puts things in perspective.
