I don't think LSU is going hire an outside liberal law firm like Pepper Hamilton to come and investigate their sexual assault issues. Where are those Tracy people demanding people be fired?

Not sure where you get that it’s a liberal law firm or, if so, how that’s relevant to the conversation. But keep non consensually fucking that football, dude

Guice allegedly raped 2 girls in separate incidents while at LSU and (surprise!) LSU didn't investigate though they were aware of the allegations. Figured this was (unfortunately) the appropriate thread.

“(Orgeron) said, ‘Everybody’s girlfriend sleeps with other people,’ ” the former player told USA TODAY. 

Did they have a translator? How could they be sure that's what he said.

Actually he does have a translator. Or at least the PR people and attorneys got involved. turns out he was giving the young man sage fatherly advice about relationship challenges

Wait, it's Louisiana.  I thought not only is it not a crime or unethical practice for everybody's girlfriends to sleep with other people, instead it's like a state law or something.

That's the way my ex-wife explained it when she was fucking everyone else, seems legit

Not football, but...

 

Some football:

LSU's football program is also charged with a Level III violation involving former star receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who gave $2,000 in cash to four Tigers football players on the field after the team's 42-25 victory over Clemson in the CFP National Championship on Jan. 13.

In the referral letter to the IRC, Duncan wrote that LSU "worked quickly to recover the money and investigate other potential violations involving Mr. Beckham." Beckham, in his second season with the Cleveland Browns, declined to be interviewed and provided written responses to questions submitted by LSU and the NCAA enforcement staff, according to Duncan.

The enforcement staff also investigated another potential violation involving Tigers head coach Ed Orgeron, who was accused of having an impermissible recruiting contact in January 2019. LSU's attorneys wrote that Orgeron admitted to having "inadvertent but impermissible contact" with a prospect. LSU investigated and self-reported the violation and placed recruiting restrictions on Orgeron and the prospect.

LSU moving quickly, to limit investigation of their football team...

LSU Basketball Investigation Could Signal Trouble for Football Program Allegations

According the The Advocate, the federal investigation into LSU basketball is likely headed to an independent panel. What becomes of recent NCAA violations pertaining to the football program?

PAT FORDE    AUG 25, 2020

Excerpt from article:

Quote

Basically, this part of the case is Kansas 2.0. In that one, the school sought in June to separate admitted football violations from the larger and more spectacular basketball allegations. Kansas wanted the football infractions to be decided by the more traditional Committee on Infractions route, independent of the ongoing basketball case.

In July, that request was denied and the entire case was tracked to the IARP. Enforcement rolled the Kansas football and basketball allegations together for a reason: It helped make a case for one of the most serious charges against the school: lack of institutional control. That’s a Level I violation, which is the most severe in the NCAA’s penalty matrix.

LSU appears to be working to avoid a similar scenario. The school has no objection to the basketball probe being diverted to the IARP, according to The Advocate, but does not want the football violations included.

Per The Advocate’s documents, LSU is trying to put the football allegations to rest quickly via summary review, which would result in agreed-upon penalties without a formal hearing. They center on three separate incidents:

  • The father of offensive lineman Vadal Alexander received $180,000 in stolen money from LSU booster John Paul Funes, who admitted in 2019 that he embezzled more than half a million dollars from Our Lady of the Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge. The money was payment from 2012–17 for what the NCAA characterized as a “no-show job,” according to The Advocate.
  • Former LSU standout Odell Beckham’s cash payments to players immediately after the Tigers won the College Football Playoff championship game in January. LSU officials initially told reporters that Beckham was handing out fake money, but later retracted that assertion after quarterback Joe Burrow acknowledged in an interview that the cash was real. LSU said the payments totaled $2,000, which Duncan characterized as a Level III violation.
  • An impermissible recruiting contact in January 2019 by LSU football coach Ed Orgeron. The Advocate said the school self-imposed recruiting restrictions on Orgeron.

Jesus, really wish we were playing them this year. 

I'll be thankful for as much football as we can get this season. But yeah, I was really looking forward to settling the score with LSU.

How LSU Football Will Adjust in Practice With Most of its Offensive Line in Quarantine?

Glen West

13 hours ago

The biggest news to come on the field for LSU football this week were the bodies that weren't on the field at all. According to a report from the Advocate, all but four scholarship offensive linemen are currently in quarantine after COVID-19 exposure.

It was later discovered that Dare Rosenthal, Joseph Evans, Thomas Perry and Marcus Dumervil were the four offensive linemen on scholarship who participated in practice Wednesday afternoon.

How many of the players actually tested positive for the virus remains a mystery and there is a difference between testing positive and being exposed. Those who test positive must quarantine for 10 days and show no symptoms for an additional 24 hours before returning to practice, while players who were exposed must quarantine for two weeks, per SEC rules.

Luckily, LSU has prepared for the possibility of an exposure once students returned. With the leadership of senior associate athletic director Shelly Mullenix and athletic trainer Jack Marucci, coach Ed Orgeron said in a Zoom call two weeks ago the team is prepared for what could be thrown at them.

"I do believe we're ahead of most programs because of Shelley [Mullenix] and Jack [Marucci] and the preparation they had for us," Orgeron said. "Our players feel comfortable that they're getting the proper care. Our guys don't blink.

The guys are going to do things, they're going to hang out together. We want to wear a mask, really protect the team, no bars are allowed in the season anyway. They know the general rules, they've just got to be careful."

So with practically an entire position group out of practice for as long as two weeks, how does the team move forward?

We're now less than a month away from the team's kickoff against Mississippi State, and the loss of nearly an entire position group for as long as two weeks isn't a great sign. The team has a relatively solid handle on who the starters will be Week One.

Orgeron has said Harvard transfer Liam Shanahan has taken the snaps at center and figures to be the starter, allowing Chasen Hines to slide over to right guard. Austin Deculus and Rosenthal figure to be the two tackles, with junior Ed Ingram expected to be the left guard.

The next few weeks were going to be key in developing that chemistry up front with not only each other but also with quarterback Myles Brennan. Brennan talked about his relationship with the o-line in a Zoom call with media members a few weeks ago.

“Those guys better be my best friends. I feel really close with our offensive line," Brennan said. "A lot of those guys were in the same (recruiting) class I am, we all came in together. Ed (Ingram), Austin (Deculus), they have to be my best friends and they are. I have a good relationship with them, and they have a good relationship with me."

Once the linemen do return to practice, the program will need to closely monitor their conditioning. Potentially spending two weeks cooped up in their apartments, the players likely will have to work their way back into practice conditioning slowly.

The silver lining is that this happened a month out and not during the middle of the season. It's these type of outbreaks that programs and the SEC fear and why the schedule was adjusted last month.

"We have a certain certainty over here,” safety JaCoby Stevens said on how LSU has handled COVID-19. “We always have felt like we were going to play. Like Coach O says, we don’t blink. We trained as if the season was going to start on a regular time. We’ve been here [at the facility], working out, following all protocols so we can play in Tiger Stadium in September.”

What's the deal with the divorce? Did she cheat? Did he? Or was she tired of not speaking his language.

Thought it was documented that he used to rough her up decades ago. I'm sure there is a lot of layers to that one but Ed being king of LA likely did not help her insecurities.

Dude's probably got about 3 years to nail every piece of cajun, creole, coon, swamp ass he can find before reality sets in. Wife would only hold him back.
