If you were having a good Wednesday the NCAA made sure to ruin it.
The Advocate’s Wilson Alexander reported that redshirt sophomore defensive tackle Maason Smith is going to be suspended for LSU’s season opening game against Florida State (Sunday September 3, 6:30 P.M.) for receiving an improper benefit.
Yep. Improper benefits. In the era of NIL where players are finally making money off their own name and image, one of LSU’s best players is being suspended for the biggest game on week 1 for...getting an improper benefit. How this happens in this day and age is beyond me.
