LSU football program has been sanctioned, with a fine and a reduction in the number of official recruiting visits, for violating recruiting rules during the COVID-19 dead period, the NCAA announced Thursday
in June 2021. Cregg filed a lawsuit against the university in August 2021, alleging that LSU fired him"for a cause that did not exist," his attorneys Chris Whittington and Robb Campbell told The Advertiser last month.
Prior to Thursday's ruling, the NCAA had not levied any punishments against Cregg. The NCAA"s Notice of Allegations in March also had no mention of Cregg. The money owed to Cregg included his remaining salary with LSU from June 17, 2021 to March 31, 2022. But it does not include an eight-day stretch in February and 31 days in March of 2022 in which his current employer, the San Francisco 49ers, covered his compensation."We are clearly disappointed in the court’s ruling.
And given Thursday's ruling from the NCAA outlining Cregg's wrongdoing, the university's stance on an appeal should be emboldened. Cregg served as LSU's offensive line coach for three seasons, leading the unit to win the Joe Moore Award in 2019 as the nation's best offensive line. His replacement, former Arkansas offensive line coach Brad Davis, was hired in June 2021 and still holds the position.
