LSU’s Abstention Sparks SEC Firestorm | LSU Tigers Football News

LSU’s president abstained from voting on harsh new SEC penalties for schools that break the pro-player eligibility rule — despite supporting the rule itself — sparking outrage and accusations of hypocrisy as fans call the school the laughing stock of college football. The SEC, in a unanimous 15-0 vote, slapped severe punishments like coach suspensions and massive fines on violators, shutting the door on former pros returning to college ball. Coach Kiffin had pushed to bring in NFL-caliber talent like Dae’Quan Wright, but the conference drew a hard line: no players who signed pro contracts or played on pro rosters are welcome back. LSU’s silence on penalties has ignited debate — is it a strategic PR move or a costly misstep? Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
