Looks like LSU and Kiffin stepped into a minefield.....

[SECOER]

It got messy.

But don't think for a moment that Kiffin and LSU didn't know exactly what they were doing.

It's the wild west at the Power Conference level - and every school is looking for every advantage.  They pushed the envelope, but don't think for a moment the rest of the Power schools weren't looking on with interest to see if LSU was allowed to do what they were trying to do.

And I would imagine that the pro sports franchises were watching as well.    They have a kid drafted but still has eligibility to play.    The agent goes the NFL, MLB, NBA, WNBA and says hey what are you offering.....then back to the university and says you beat this and we stay for another year / two. 

It changes the dynamics of a lower round pick.   Stay a year at lsu, alabama, ohio state, etc. and you get better and move up in the draft next year....or get hurt.   But they would have that big NIL money and an insurance policy just in case.    

We need to get some "sanity" in this mess.
