"Jimbo Fisher to LSU" is a hot internet rumor these days. On the face of it, it doesn't make much sense. It's arguably a lateral move into a division with Nick Saban.

On the other hand...

From newyorktimes.com:

In court papers that Florida State University fought to keep confidential, the former director of the school’s Victim Advocate Office testified that in 2014, a total of 113 students reported being sexually battered — which is the same as rape in Florida — while the college reported only nine cases to the federal government.

The former official, Melissa Ashton, who ran the advocate office in 2014, also testified that in the nine years she worked in that office, an estimated 40 football players had been accused of either sexual assault or “intimate partner” violence, and that to the best of her recollection, only one person had been found responsible. She said most of the women chose not to pursue the cases “based on fear.” No names were mentioned.

Makes you think.
