This is not acceptable by current NCAA standards,



Yes it is if they are no longer players. Any college can pay any athlete whatever they want once they are no longer athletes for the university.

As much as I would love to see another Louisiana sports team pull out their pitchforks over conspiracy theories and fairness objections, this won’t amount to much.

The NCAA cracks down the hardest on things that are 1) egregiously public 2) indicative of a lack of institutional control and 3) involve large and often unknown sums of money.

This may hit 1, but not 2 or 3. Nobody could’ve known OBJ would treat LSU players like strippers and the NCAA could literally count the small sums of money given to each player.

This has warning or very minuscule fine/suspension written on it.

Barrett Sallee said he was around Beckham quite a bit last night and said he is not trained to know what counterfeit money is, but in his opinion there is zero chance it wasn't real.

He also said this story will have no legs and will die.

It would actually be better for OBJ if it was real cash.

If he’s handing out fake cash, that’s pretty illegal haha.

The absolute worst that could happen is Jontre Kirklan paying the money back and sitting a game or two. Move on.

Don’t forget about that minor hospital charity funding to pay families of players issue.


That booster took full responsibility and is in federal prison, so...

And it wasn’t a current player. It was a former player’s parents. What he did was despicable in every way, but that isn’t an NCAA violation.

No, but Mizzou will pay fricking dearly, as it should be.

This is pretty wild for him to say. It’s almost as if Burrow never really cared about lsu


Says the guy who’s program GOAT showed up to a UT frat party and got his arse tossed while he was still your QB.

FYI FWIW LSU fans, NCAA was about to conclude the investigation into ole miss until draft night made them look bad when Tunsil admitted it. Then they decided to make an example. Burrow is basically doing the same thing here but worse because he’s almost taunting them

The NCAA will declare Joe Burrow ineligible for next season and look into the matter for the other athletes. LSU will not be penalized for doing their due diligence of an internal investigation.

In short, dream on.

You also don't think "winning" is a big deal either.

Do you think OBJ handing out $, after the NCG. Is the reason LSU had the season they did? OBJ needs to be disciplined, just for the shear stupidity of it. But it gave us no advantage.
