Once again, LSU football finds itself under the NCAA microscope stemming from the topsy-turvy Ed Orgeron era. On Thursday, the NCAA released the list of penalties within the Tigers’ program, stemming from reported recruiting violations committed by former Tigers assistant coach James Cregg.
LSU faces one year of probation, a $5,000 fine, a limit of official visits and a self-imposed one-week prohibition against unofficial visits in the football program prior to the start of the 2022–23 academic year.
The list also includes a one-week prohibition against recruiting communications in the football program prior to the start of the next academic year, a reduction of seven evaluation days in the football program and a three-year show-cause order for Cregg, who is not named in the release. All of the penalties, aside from the year-long probation and show-cause for Cregg, were self-imposed by the program.
