[gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN]: LSU self-imposes bowl ban for current season amid NCAA probe

How does the AP reporter who wrote this story overlook the obvious point that LSU has self-imposed a 'bowl ban' in a year in which they are likely to be ineligible for a bowl due to their W-L record? A loss to Florida this week would leave them ineligible anyway. If they had done this at the beginning of the season, there may have been some credibility to it, but it means nothing to make this decision after you are already 3-5.

LSU self-imposes bowl ban for current season amid NCAA probe

The Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU is self-imposing a one-year ban on postseason play for this season as part an effort to cooperate with an NCAA probe into rules violations.

"LSU leadership made this decision after careful deliberation and review of the NCAA rules violations that have been discovered in the university's cooperative investigation with the NCAA" and Independent Accountability Resolution Process, the athletic department said in a statement. "This decision reflects LSU's commitment to compliance with NCAA regulations and maintenance of institutional control."
