Pleased to announce that @LSUBasketball student-athlete Brice Dessert was cleared to compete during the 2026-27 season.

For years, the @NCAA has made value judgments about the academic rigor and calibre of education at schools domestically and around the globe. The judgments have been inconsistent and (often) discriminatory. I have seen Europeans lose years of eligibility because the @NCAA determined that the student-athlete graduated at 15, seen Africans and South Americans be required to produce written coursework from the 7th grade, seen African Americans forced to produce their teachers’ grade books and lesson plans, seen the @NCAA enter into a consent decree with the Justice Department because they violated the rights of student-athletes with learning disabilities and seen numerous acts of unapologetic discrimination against females, blacks and other minorities. Yet, this organization is begging for statutory immunity from lawsuits and the right to enforce their “rules” without judicial oversight. Any organization that seeks immunity from lawsuits is likely violating the law AND WANTS LEGISLATIVE APPROVAL TO DO IT.

Pleased to announce that @LSUBasketball student-athlete Saliou Niang was cleared to compete during the 2026-27 season.
