LSU self-imposes bowl ban for 2020

LSU announced today that it is self-imposing a bowl-ban this season.

The university says the decision was made in conjunction with an NCAA investigation into alleged rules violations.

A statement from the LSU athletic department said “LSU has informed the NCAA and SEC that it will self-impose a one-year postseason ban on its football program for the 2020-21 bowl season, in addition to self-imposed sanctions already declared.”

The Tigers are coming off a blowout loss to Alabama last weekend and are 3-5 with two games remaining.

There are no bowl-eligibility requirements this season.

LSU won the national championship last season, but the program has been hit hard by both graduation and early departures to the NFL.
