The character he portrayed in Blue Chips was actually a reflection of his reality

Why bring this up? Just be content to beat them on the court in basketball and write off your loss on football.

Shaq said that "LSU paid very well" during his time on campus.
Had to match A&M recruit spending in the 80's

He didn't have access to the stipends athletes get now.

an orphan from the ghetto who didn't want any money to play? other than the leaving college early thing, his character was the complete opposite of the real shaq

We should have paid Shaq more to make some free throws.

WORTH EVERY PENNY? SHOULD'VE PAID HIM MORE??
Y'all didn't even make a sweet 16 while shaq was on the team. Y'all beat duke once in regular season.

LSU fans didn't get a championship from Shaq, but we did get the entertainment value of him playing for LSU. That was more than enough return on our investment.

Exactly. LSU basketball is pretty much A&M football.

Seriously though, I'm sure Shaq didn't ask for the money just as Neon didn't in the movie. Dale had the luxury of building a relationship with Shaq very early on.
