Jarrett Lee, others may be ineligible for LSU’s postseason

Speculation has surfaced that quarterback Jarrett Lee and unnamed other football players may be declared academically ineligible for the postseason. In his own unique way, Les Miles addressed the rumors without actually addressing them. QB Jarrett Lee and other players may be ruled academically ineligible for postseason. That is a yearly issue at all schools, Les Miles said Monday. "This time of year everybody responds and comes back," he said. "It's time to pick it up. There's no difference with our football team. Academic issues are private in my mind."
LSU athletic director Joe Alleva has issued a statement regarding the speculation that surfaced earlier today.

“Despite media and message board speculation, no LSU student-athletes have been declared ineligible for post-season competition. The current semester is not complete and finals are still ahead, so it is grossly unfair to our student-athletes and it is both premature and irresponsible to speculate on the final grades and postseason eligibility of our student-athletes.”
