LSU'southward solitary defeat came to the Southwest Conference co-champion Rice Owls by a score of 56–47 in Houston in ane of LSU's 3 road games.^[4] LSU has claimed a national title for the 1935 flavor (pre-NCAA Tournament), but not on the ground of any determination by an external selector.^[5] (LSU is the only schoolhouse that officially claims a national title on the basis of a win in the American Legion Bowl, an event that made no merits to determine a national champion.^[6] The Helms Athletic Foundation retroactively named the 19–1 NYU Violets its national champion for the 1934–35 season. The retroactive Premo-Porretta Power Poll likewise ranked the Violets as its 1935 national champion. The Premo-Porretta poll ranked LSU fifth, behind 2d-ranked Richmond (twenty–0), third-ranked Duquesne (xviii–i), and fourth-ranked Kentucky (19–2); the poll ranked Pittsburgh—LSU's last opponent–16th nationally.^[7])

All the same, it did detect that a former booster paid Earl about $five,000 while he was attention LSU. The basketball squad was placed on probation in 1998.

In September 2007, Lester Earl issued an amends to Brown, then-banana head coach Johnny Jones, and LSU in general for his function in the NCAA investigation. Earl at present has contradistinct his original claims that the NCAA pressured him into making simulated claims against Dale Brown or else he would lose years of NCAA eligibility. Earl said, "I was pressured into telling them SOMETHING. I was 19 years sometime at that fourth dimension. The NCAA intimidated me, manipulated me into making upwards things, and basically encouraged me to lie, in order to be able to finish my playing career at Kansas. They told me if we don't find any clay on Coach Brown you lot won't be immune to play but one more twelvemonth at Kansas. I caused not bad harm, heartache and difficulties for so many people. I feel sorriest for hurting Autobus Brown. Coach Brown, I repent to you lot for tarnishing your magnificent career at LSU."

The NCAA has declined whatever new comments on the situation. Still, Brown says that he has forgiven Earl. "The nigh interesting journeying that a person can make is discovering himself. I believe Lester has washed that, and I forgive him."
