Why does LSU seemingly always take off 2 weeks for Finals in the beginning of December? I get that these kids are "student-athletes" and have to go to class too, but it doesn't seem like that ever stops any other teams from playing. There are college basketball games on every single day, and none of the highly ranked teams ever go on 2 week hiatuses. Just always has bothered me that LSU plays 6 or 7 games then doesnt play again for half a month.
