@Rebel_Viewpoint The worst that can happen is we lose the depth pieces we’re fighting for. It’s embarrassing but I wouldn’t go as far as saying we are cooked
🚨 FACT CHECK: Did Lane Kiffin & LSU “start” this NCAA eligibility mess by pursuing players from NFL camps?
NO. The timeline says otherwise:
📅 JAN 21 — Alabama’s Charles Bediako, who had SIGNED an NBA contract, gets a TRO to return to college.
📅 MAY 19 — LSU Basketball signs RJ Luis Jr., who had also signed NBA contracts.
📅 JUL 17 — Texas OL Cole Hutson, after NFL rookie minicamps, SUES the NCAA.
📅 JUL 23 — Hutson gets a Texas TRO.
📅 AUG 6 — Hutson returns to TEXAS.
📅 AUG 19 — Louisiana judge grants TRO to 16 football players, including players with NFL ties.
📅 AUG 23 — UCLA adds Trent Hendrick after NFL minicamps.
📅 AUG 24 — Houston adds players with NFL minicamp experience.
📅 AUG 24–26 — LSU moves to add Dae’Quan Wright & Zxavian Harris after NFL training camps/contracts.
So how exactly did Lane Kiffin “start” something that was happening MONTHS before LSU Football got involved?
You can criticize the rule. You can criticize the courts. You can criticize the NCAA.
But the timeline is the timeline.
LSU DIDN’T CREATE THIS MESS. 🧾
