BATON ROUGE (AP)  An assistant strength coach for LSU was arrested and accused of violating state law by inviting student athletes to his home to meet a sports agent and suggesting the agent should represent the athletes, LSU police said Tuesday.

Travelle Ernest Gaines, 26, of Port Allen, surrendered to university police and was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish prison, the university said in a statement.

It was the second arrest in two weeks connected to the school about violations of the law regulating sports agents in Louisiana, the university said. Gaines had been employed with the athletic department since July.

LSU said the student athletes invited to Gaines' home didn't realize an agent would be there, and the university said there was no evidence that the student athletes violated the law.

University police arrested sports agent Charles Taplin, of Houston, earlier this month for attempting to contact student athletes. LSU said notes and a cellphone gathered during Taplin's arrest, combined with interviews with several student athletes, pointed to Gaines as assisting Taplin.

"At LSU, we will not tolerate this predatory behavior, and in particular we will not abide those who seek to infiltrate our athletic department. Our student athletes and coaches provided authorities with the information they needed to make this arrest," LSU chancellor Sean O'Keefe said in a statement released by the school.

LSU athletic director Skip Bertman said he was pleased university police acted on the information so quickly.

lsu's little scam is far more sophisticated

[sdgukhsdgl]

buying a player's family house or telling kids they should sign with a certain agent...

i think you can decide which is worse

[Velcro]

hardly smazz   ;D ;D ;D

The fact that USC is even allowed to play NCAA football anymore shows how sophisticated their cheating is.  They get caught, their star players get caught, and they still get around penalty.  Either they are sophisticated, or the NCAA is full of morons...  oh... I guess I just answered my own questions.

an lsu employee is steering kids to agents

lsu  is in trouble

their transgression is far worse

no knowledge of bush affair was attributed to usc

pleae once deal with the facts fellas

usc recruits the best players and they coach them up.usc is the standard by which all programs should be judged

[sdgukhsdgl]

USC player HAD an agent

LSU players DID NOT HAVE agents

take your pick

[smazza]

but usc wasnt involved in percuring the agent

lsu's employee put players and agent together
