LSU docks scholarships...as penance for the Over- see-ers of the NCAA

LSU docked itself four scholarships, two in the upcoming 2011 class and two in 2012, in atonement for violations involving former assistant coach D.J. McCarthy and short-lived junior college signee Akiem Hicks in 2009. The school's 55-page report to the NCAA earlier this year outlined improper contact with at least three recruits, sketchy housing and transportation arrangements for Hicks and at least one cash transfer of $350, to Hicks from an unidentified, non-LSU coach working at an LSU summer camp. The NCAA can accept the school's ritual self-flagellation as penance, or add more sanctions of its own.
