LSU exhausted all options in an attempt to restore the eligibility of defensive tackle Maason Smith for the top-10 showdown against Florida State next weekend, coach Brian Kelly said in an interview with Yahoo Sports, including attempting to schedule a Week Zero game.
The school filed multiple appeals to the NCAA while also exploring a way to hurriedly reschedule a non-conference game for this weekend. The Tigers play Grambling State in Week 2. Smith would have presumably served his suspension in a Week Zero game and then been eligible against the Seminoles in Week 1.“We looked at all the options out there, certainly, and wanted to make sure that we examined everything that was possible,” Kelly said. “We looked at everything.
The timing of the autograph signing — the summer of 2021 — is at the center of the case. On July 1, 2021, the NCAA lifted its rules to permit athletes to earn money from their likeness in events such as autograph signings. NCAA policy is notoriously stringent on player suspensions. In normal such rulings, once the suspension is ruled final, a player must miss the next game for which he or she is eligible and medically cleared to play. The suspension was presumably final last fall.
The autograph signing event featured another player, former LSU receiver Kayshon Boutte, who presumably served his suspension last season, according to a report from Baton Rouge radio host Matt Moscona.
