re: Odds That LSU Players Are Reinstated In Time For Bama

1. The Times-Picayune reported on January 11, 2007 that Perrilloux was a “person of interest” in a Federal investigation being conducted in New Orleans, Louisiana. However, Federal representatives could neither confirm nor deny this story. Although he had not been accused of any crime, Perrilloux retained the services of Baton Rouge attorney Nathan Fisher.

2. On May 22, 2007, LSU head coach Les Miles suspended Perrilloux from the football team indefinitely after the player was issued a misdemeanor summons by police when he allegedly tried to use his brother’s driver’s license to get onto the Hollywood Casino gambling boat. However, Miles reinstated Perrilloux in time for preseason practice.

3. On October 25, Perrilloux, teammate Derrick Odom and others were involved in a fight at The Varsity, a Baton Rouge nightclub. On October 31, 2007, Odom and Jeremy Benton were dismissed from the team. Perrilloux remained on the squad, but was suspended for LSU's game against Alabama.
Perrilloux was not charged at the conclusion of the investigation.

4. On February 18, 2008, Coach Miles indefinitely suspended Perrilloux for violating team rules. The rules which he violated are unknown, but an LSU associate athletic director stated "it's nothing outside the football program". The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported that Perrilloux's transgressions included missing classes, workouts and at least one team meeting.

5. On May 2, 2008, LSU head coach Les Miles kicked Perrilloux off the team for "not fulfilling his obligation" as an LSU student-athlete. He is reported to have a failed a drug test due to marijuana, missed a team meeting, skipped classes and was late for a handful of conditioning workouts.
