bootskii 264 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 For registering for the wrong class. How does that even happen? Don't these players have some sort of guidance counselors or handlers that take care of that sort of thing? I didn't even know registering for the wrong class would make you ineligible. Would it be possible just to say it's an elective instead? Seems kinda weak to me. I don't believe Emery is the starter but this is going to hurt an already weak rushing attack from LSU. https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/lsu-football/ed-orgeron-announces-lsu-rb-is-out-for-the-year-due-to-academic-issues/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't just take any class you want while in school to satisfy the taking classes rule. The thing is, you do get certain electives in that allotment so he must have taken too many junk classes during his career already, and I think he's supposed to be a sophomore. Further, there is an entire team of counselors dedicated to athletics at each major institution that should have been all over this. This shows a complete lack of attention to detail (at the very least) and/or lack of oversight (death nail) within that department. LSU continues the downward spiral.

I think he was going to be the starter. So far they have had 2 appeals rejected, but this lawyer now says their were extenuating circumstances for him not having enough credits. They include a death of his grandmother, covid issues with members of his family, and something having to do with going to online classes. It may work, but lawyers can come up with the darndest things to use in presenting a case. I do hate it that a player is ruled ineligible for something like this. From what was reported he was an honor student. It's not like he was one of those that struggled in school. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerOfDixieland 3,226 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) Pretty sure Coach Oblivious is trying to pressure the NCAA via a pretty weak/stupid smokescreen. He made additional comments about how "academics" does a great job and that Emery was an honor student over the summer, guess he doesn't realize how ridiculous this makes the football program look. What support he had within the fanbase is rapidly deteriorating. Edited September 16, 2021 by PowerOfDixieland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
