It's a financial train wreck.

This doesn't surprise me. Football is a big time commitment in the spring semester, and a huge time commitment in the fall. Even if football players were average in the classroom I'd think most of them would require summer school to graduate in 4 years.

RE: LSU: ‘We’ll only have half of our football team eligible’ without summer scchool
Maybe I'm confused. Couldn't LSU just field a team of freshman who are all eligible? (Assuming the school can open in the fall). It wouldn't be a good team, but problem solved.
Honestly asking, not poking fun at all.

Obviously they won't do that, but even just as a fun hypothetical, they could only do that if most of the roster are walk-on players. They signed 23 incoming freshman players.

Shut down the program before anyone else gets hurt.
Cheers!

They will solve this issue.
Hell, why doesn't the athletic department just pay the professors over the summer?

Why paying attention to LSU? All the Louisiana schools are in the same boat. Imagine all the public schools in Louisiana shut down for next year? No college football games in the state except for Louisiana College and Tulane since they both are privates.

LSU is obviously the most visible example of the issues the state is facing.
If they can't solve problems at the most important program in the state they sure won't be solving them anywhere else.

I'm sure they'd figure out a way to let them take classes at another school, like a community college or online school, and transfer those credits in.

110 guys on a roster, 55 is close to what the NFL uses will not be too bad.

If LSU does not have the money to pay then it would be highly unlikely that the local community colleges have the money either.

Serious question. Could big money boosters come in and donate enough money just to keep LSU open? They were going to spend money to get rid of Les, so wouldn't some of these people be okay with giving some more money to keep their football team alive?

They'd have to raise around $60 million in a few months?
I don't think that is in the cards.

That's an assumption. Community colleges typically don't have the overhead of a large state university. But even if a local option isn't available, there are always online options. They could even contract with a for profit school. Where there's a will, and SEC money, there's a way.

Better get in contact with Grand Canyon then. They may not be a for-profit much longer. Offer to play basketball and baseball at their place. That will get the deal done.

They also have far less money coming in to them. Also it would be unlikely to help remember the issue is eligibility and taking classes from other schools likely does not help in that regard.
