Could LSU Football be cancelled in 2016?

The state is apparently facing massive budget issues, especially surrounding those dollars devoted to higher education and the governor just released statements to the effect that many state run schools could be forced to close as early as April and that this could effect among others the LSU football team for 2016.

"If you are a student attending one of these universities, it means that you will receive a grade of incomplete, many students will not be able to graduate, and student-athletes across the state at those schools will be ineligible to play next semester," Edwards said, according to The Times-Picayune. "That means you can say farewell to college football next fall."

The Democratic governor is pushing for tax increases to help make up a $940 million budget deficit by the end of June. He said Louisiana could be forced to cut vital health services as well.

"These are not scare tactics. This is reality," Edwards said. "An unstable state budget will not only hurt children and working families in our state, it will devastate communities, businesses and local government as well."

Seems to me when you say you arent using scare tactics, that is exactly what you are doing but it could be interesting if they are unable to come to some compromise and this were to happen. It would make the Les Miles possibly getting fired debacle look like peanuts.
