LSU investigating whether Leonard Fournette's family violated NCAA rules

LSU is investigating whether the family of star running back Leonard Fournette violated NCAA rules, according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.

Bob Barton, an attorney representing LSU, has begun interviewing people involved in a website that was built to sell merchandise emblazoned with “BUGA Nation” — Leonard Fournette’s catchphrase — the person told USA TODAY Sports on Tuesday.

Barton, who works for the law firm of Taylor Porter in Baton Rouge and specializes in matters involving NCAA rules, declined to comment.

Paul Price, described by Fournette's mother as the family’s manager, made payments of about $10,000 to build a website and produce the merchandise to be sold, the owners of three companies involved told USA TODAY Sports. The owners said they gave Price and the Fournettes more than $20,000 in discounts because they expected strong sales driven by the star running back's popularity.

LSU investigating this? I guess try and self investigate and suspend him for the rest of the year if you find something. Got curb stomped twice already so no reason to try to cover it up. Self impose something and don't risk next years championship hopes.

LSU's top compliance officer (pictured below) is on his way to New Orleans (Fournette's hometown) to conduct a thorough and comprehensive investigation.

LSU’s live tiger mascot, Mike VI, diagnosed with ‘extremely rare’ cancer

77213312.jpg


Things are not looking promising for one of the most recognizable — and fearsome — mascots in college football.

LSU announced Monday morning that Mike VI, the school’ live tiger mascot, diagnosed with a spindle cell sarcoma, a type of cancer. “Mike’s veterinarian, David Baker, DVM, Ph.D., and his veterinary student caretakers,” the school’s release stated, “previously noticed swelling on the right side of Mike’s face.”

A subsequent CT scan revealed a tumor on the tiger’s face near his nose, with a biopsy leading to the cancer diagnosis.

The school stated that this is “an extremely rare form of cancer,” and would lead to the animal’s death in a month or two if left untreated. Mike VI will be treated with “a new and highly sophisticated form of radiation therapy called ‘Stereotactic radiotherapy.'” While the “treatment is not curative[, it] should extend Mike’s life and allow him to live comfortably” — perhaps for another 1-2 years.

PETA (again) calls on LSU to end live-mascot tradition

I’m writing on behalf of PETA, which has more than 5 million members and supporters worldwide, including tens of thousands in Louisiana, to offer our sympathies about Mike the tiger’s cancer diagnosis. I would also like to request that you consider the following information about how tigers suffer in captivity and make Mike VI Louisiana State University’s (LSU) last live mascot.

Captive big cats (who naturally shun human contact) are deprived of everything that is natural and important to them. They live in perpetual states of confinement, discomfort, and stress and, at LSU games, are subjected to a constant barrage of disorienting lights and activity. They often become despondent and develop neurotic and self-destructive types of behavior, including pacing, bar-biting, and self-mutilation. Tigers are particularly unsuited to captivity because they require large areas to roam and opportunities to swim and climb. Even under the best of care, a tiger’s most basic instincts are thwarted in captivity, and continuing to use live animals as mascots perpetuates the cruel notion that sensitive, complex wild animals should be caged and put on display like championship trophies.

People go to LSU football games because they want to see top college athletes playing the best football in the country, not because there’s a caged tiger sitting on the sidelines. I hope you agree that it’s time to recognize society’s growing distaste for animal exhibition and bring a new tradition to LSU of using only willing, costumed human mascots. Orcas don’t belong in tanks, elephants don’t belong in the circus, and tigers do not belong in stadiums. In his sickly condition, Mike VI should not be wheeled out to games this coming season. Generations of tigers have given LSU everything they have—isn’t it time for LSU to give something back? We hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.

Groza Award watch lister Trent Domingue leaving LSU after scholarship wasn’t renewed

493143772-e1468506368233.jpg


This is something you don’t see often.

Exactly one week ago today, LSU’s Trent Domingue was one of 30 kickers named to the Lou Groza Award preseason watch list. On Wednesday, Domingue took to Twitter to reveal that he is leaving LSU because his scholarship wasn’t renewed.
.
.
.
As Domingue will be moving on as a graduate transfer, he’d be eligible to play immediately in 2016 if he takes the FBS route.

Last season, Domingue connected on 13-of-17 field goal attempts. His main claim to fame, however, was catching what proved to be the game-winning touchdown pass on a fake field goal against Florida this past October.
