Former LSU Player Has 'No Respect' for Kiffin Adding Ex NFL Players
A former LSU Tiger is incensed that his school is recruiting former pros back to the college ranks.
LSU coach Lane Kiffin is adding former NFL players to his roster, causing controversy among former Tigers. Zxavian Harris, who played for Kiffin at Ole Miss but was undrafted and later released by the Saints, has returned to college football after being released. Former Tiger Breiden Fehoko expressed his disgust with the situation on social media, stating he has no respect for Kiffin and the staff.
Fehoko criticized the university's athletics department, calling it "disgusting" and "Money over morals." Kiffin defended his actions, citing recent court rulings that allow such additions, and added another former Rebel tight end, Dae-Quan Wright, to the team. However, Kiffin may be mistaken in assuming that most other programs are following suit, as the Big Ten and the ACC and Big 12 are considering banning former NFL players from college competition.
The SEC's position remains unclear, but athletic directors in the conference may face penalties for adding pro players. With the legality of these moves still up in the air, more such decisions are likely to be made, sparking further criticism.
