LSU and the NCAA

And now... the rest of the story-

Video bought by LSU is old, low quality
An "Outside the Lines" review of video scouting reports purchased by the LSU football program last fall from talent scout Willie Lyles has found they contain highlights of players who already were playing Division I football at other programs and poor-quality, full-game shoots that did not isolate or identify any players at all.


The analysis of video footage obtained by "Outside the Lines" through a public-records request concludes that the information would likely be of little use during the recruiting process.


Some of the clips did identify and show current junior college players who could be recruited, but some of the highlight packages appear to have been used without permission from online sports-video companies that assembled them, and at least four players' clips can be found on public video sites like YouTube.


As part of the records request that LSU fulfilled last week, "Outside the Lines" received copies of the 32 DVDs Lyles sent to LSU last fall in exchange for a $6,000 payment. LSU officials acknowledged last Thursday that NCAA investigators have spoken with several members of their football coaching staff about the payment to Lyles' defunct Texas-based Complete Scouting Services.

how the eff would a bunch of writers know what college coaches are looking for in film?

if you showed me the videos from Lyles, I'd probably notice the low quality, but would have no clue if the film was actually useful to a college coach.

a couple positives for LSU:

Willie Lyles said LSU was very specific about the info they requested.
LSU said Lyle has some outdated useless stuff they didn't request mixed in with the stuff they got.

so far, both turned out to be true. hopefully that will go in our favor when the NCAA makes a decision.


everything else about it sucks, and I'm not liking the direction this is going.
