I'm curious how many people latching onto this believes it would impact the national championship in any way. We know 100% of Clemson fans do.

I was wondering where he got the fake money from, real money makes more sense.

Come on LSU - nobody thought Odell was giving out fake money.

This is a non-story though. LSU just easily says give it back end of story.

So proof they received it, but no proof they returned it? That's not good.

I guess the other boosters were handing out the real money.

I don't understand why cash is an issue but Beckham buying them Beats headphones and Jordans isn't?

NCAA isn't going to punish LSU if they can't find proof the players kept the money.

Read that there was fake money all over as part of the celebration. Associate AD just assumed Odell picked some of that off the ground for his stunt.

But yes they will find out it was real money and returning player will give it back

Have people gone mad?


Ncaa:

"I saw Odell gave you cash on tv"

Player

"Yeh, I gave it back"





Now whats the next step for investigators? It wasnt like this was some underhand wire transfers. It was cash in front of God almighty

Is it that easy though? I've never heard the NCAA tell players to reimburse cash benefactors and all would be square.

Yep, was stupid regardless... made a mighty big showing of handing the bills out for them to be fake...

I wonder, does having him on the sidelines rise to the level of a lack of institutional control?

I doubt anything will ultimately come of this...
