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.
