Yes, but athletic coaches don't go up there.
If they want to keep money away from academics, they can do whatever the hell they want.
LSU athletics supports itself 100% and gives money to academics when it doesn't have to.
The State of Louisiana does not give one penny to support LSU Athletics. The LSU general fund/academics depend on the Athletic Dept. for money.

Exactly. Even if his boss tells him he must go, take a cue from Will Wade and let your lawyer negotiate with the university while you say nothing. Dare them to do something about it.

Buying players isn't even as serious, these days, as allowing sexual misconduct and this is at least 3 cases that Orgeron and the athletics department have swept under the rug. Sexual misconduct at LSU has gotten an ex LSU coach an an ex LSU president fired from jobs at other institutions, yet so far LSU hasn't done a thing. That will change.

And meanwhile the NCAA just sits back and watches the goings on. They don't operate in a vacuum. Circumstances and policies matter.

Link?

The only case that has even alleged O to be involved was the elderly security guard and the evidence was conveniently dropped in a pot of red beans.

Technically the red beans should be simmering but that's not an alliteration and isn't hyperbolic enough to satisfy the unwashed masses.

Besides, it's the offseason and this beats talking about how Pawl is the anti-Christ.

I can't impress you with how I internet every day, baw.

1-Early in the spring 2016 semester, a member of the LSU diving team told her coach and an athletic department administrator that Guice raped her friend after she’d passed out drunk at a party.

2-That summer, a female student told two senior athletics administrators that Guice took a partially nude photograph of her without her permission, and then shared it with a team equipment manager and possibly others.

3-Then, in April 2017, the athletic department received reports of a second rape allegation against Guice, this time by a women’s tennis player.

LSU’s failure to adequately address sexual misconduct goes beyond one star running back, a USA TODAY investigation found. Officials in the university’s athletic department and broader administration repeatedly have ignored complaints against abusers, denied victims’ requests for protections and subjected them to further harm by known perpetrators.

4- At least seven LSU officials had direct knowledge that wide receiver Drake Davis was physically abusing his girlfriend, a different LSU women’s tennis player, but they sat on the information for months, while Davis continued to assault and strangle her. In another case, the school determined that a fraternity member had sexually assaulted two women, but it refused to move him out of classes he shared with one of them and altogether ignored an allegation against him by a third female student.

Guice and Davis included, at least nine LSU football players have been reported to police for sexual misconduct and dating violence since coach Ed Orgeron took over the team four years ago, records show. But the details of how LSU handled complaints against the other seven, including two who played key roles on its 2020 national championship team, remain largely secret.


5- The 74 year old lady.

Ed Orgeron: "Everybody's girlfriend sleeps with other people"

Sidwalk Fan, you can try to spin away from the facts all you want to, but it won't matter.

Actually, I gave you the facts.

You're the one attempting to spin away from them. Why is that?

Are you that desperate to troll?

The only one who has said with any certainty that Coach O was involved.

O has denied that he had any knowledge (at the time) that there was more to the story.

As Sidewalk said, the bulk of the evidence of O's actions got dropped into a pot of red beans.

Will new evidence be found? Very possible. Phone records could be a fun rabbit hole.

Whatever you think, it would be absolutely insane for Coach O to voluntarily testify to this committee.

Surely 0 will be happy to testify. He has nothing to hide.

if you think staff members in the athletics department knew about Guice and Davis but Orgeron, the head coach, did not, then you are as naive as Sidewalk Fan

I think the lady is most likely telling the truth.

Proving it is another story.

What I think does not matter.

It is what can be proven.

I think Cam got paid. Nobody can prove that either.

So you admit the "evidence" is clearly your feelings?

Glad we cleared that up.

Unless they were trying to keep it from him for plausible deniability or for fear that he may suspend the player or dismiss him. It's their job to provide a winning team also.

Can you imagine? "Will the Senate stenographer please read back the Coach's last statement?"
"Yaw, yaw, yaw, yaw"

you got that right, and what Sidewalk Fan thinks about it won't matter either.

This is just getting started and as noted, paying players ain't shite compared to sexual misconduct these days.

He won't make it to the season.

He also can't lie under oath. Either he lied about not speaking to her or she lied under oath.

No doubt, thats why I'm basing my statements on the evidence.

The evidence against O is that a lady asked him to punish a player for making lewd remarks to her and she states that he didnt.
