    No reason for Les to leak this until the day before the game. What's up? There is another week for the NCAA to rule.

    This is LSU's investigation and decision to suspend him.

    The only reason to suspend him is to avoid an NCAA forfeit if they rule him ineligible. Why suspend him if the NCAA ruling is still pending and we have another week?

    Probably impacted by everything else going on? Rather than sit on it, they want to just be viewed as being transparent and honest, I suppose.

    How long can this go on? Any chance this is a career ender?

    #LSU press release on WR Russell Shepard: "LSU will seek reinstatement for Shepard but he is expected to miss a number of games."

    What a bad couple of weeks for LSU football. Unfortunately it could get worse before it gets better.

    As I understand it the NCAA will not rule on it and passed the ball to LSU to do what they feel is best. LSU taking the proactive stance once again. Could be wrong here but that is what I thought was going on as of last week.
