Not the story with these two. They were dating in HS and she graduated and came to LSU a year before he did.


Thanks for the clarification. In that case ~ concern is valid I guess.

This was so overblown. The situation was nothing to me after it was revealed he was just living with his gf.


+1. A lot of negatigers with sheepish grins. They never learn. An absolutely miserable lot IMO.

If the NCAA makes him sit out do you think LSU will still be able to win without his 3 to 4 plays a game?

That's the word. Same situation USC had a few years ago when Lienart's dad was paying the rent for both his kid and Dwayne Jarrett.

Not sure if you had your question answered, but his GF is a member of the AD, and they had been splitting costs of an apartment. Athletes are forbidden to receive any benefits from those associated with the School or AD. If his GF was not with the AD, then this would be a non issue. so of the housing she paid, Shepard must pay back.

Another thing is that Rossetta originally reported that it dates back to his arrival. That was incorrect. It dates back to this spring. So a few months rent at Northgate. I have paperwork in front of me now







I have floor plans if you want to see those as well

Which, btw, is some bullshite. If he lived with another athlete it wouldn't be a problem right?

Yeah, it's legit. She been having that minimum wage job for a few years now. The nut jobs on the rant were acting like we were paying her $100K a year as a front or something.

I'm not sure. It depends on if that athlete assisted with his payments I guess.

What if they were married? Would they still be responsible for a 50/50 split of the rent? I know it's a bit off topic, but there seem to be a number of loopholes.

Marriage laws completely change that.There is no split with a unified pair.

This sounds like a one-off and good on LSU for catching it, that's how the system's supposed to work.
