Ed Orgeron Won't Announce LSU Suspensions to Keep 'Competitive Advantage'

LSU head football coach Ed Orgeron said Thursday he's not going to publicly announce any discipline, including suspensions, given to Tigers players during the 2017 season in order to maintain a "competitive advantage" over the team's opponents.

The second-year coach said the program's rules remain in place and promised to punish players who break those standards, but he confirmed the information won't be made available.

"Here's the deal. I didn't want to announce any suspension—if they are. I didn't want to give BYU a competitive advantage. That's just the reason why," Orgeron told reporters.
