LSU Football Self-Imposes One-Year Postseason Ban

LSU notified the NCAA and SEC that it is self-imposing a "one-year postseason ban on its football program for the 2020-21 bowl season," the school's athletic department announced Wednesday.

The department said it came to this decision after reviewing the NCAA rules violations discovered during an NCAA and IARP investigation.

"I respect the university’s decision to proactively address NCAA issues from the past," head coach Ed Orgeron said in a statement.

This joins the long list of self-imposing penalties the program has already adopted, including a reduction of eight scholarships and a two-year disassociation from receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
