It might have something to do with LSU boosters, recruits, and or players. Too soon to claim it doesn’t.
One booster embezzled money, gave money to a player's dad, was sentenced to 33 months in prison.
This all came out over a year ago.
Not sure what more you're expecting to come from it?

If thats the case, why did only one player's family get money?
Wait. Since only one LSU players family got money from one LSU booster it doesn't count?

Well it is a good way to get clicks. Surely you know how the media functions these days.
Dude. LSU booster. LSU players. "LSU has nothing to do with it!"
There is a possibility that the University had nothing to do with that...but it is still illegal.
Do you think it would be the first time a booster from a college gave money to a player?

I haven't said anything about UGA in this thread, simply pointing out that the OLOL thing has nothing to do with LSU.
Who was the booster a booster for?
Who did the players play for?
The person (whoever it was) that brought up the OLOL thing brought it up because LSU fans created this thread. Don't act like LSU fans are being unfairly treated.

I don't care what comes out of it. But the article said that LSU officials said that it was under investigation. I didn't. LSU officials did. The only reason I pointed it out is because you said there was no investigation.
ETA
Here it is again for you:
In a previous statement, LSU senior associate athletics director Robert Munson said LSU "was made aware of specific allegations by OLOL officials in late 2018 and made the information immediately available to the NCAA. As this is an ongoing inquiry, LSU will have no further comment."

I'm not going to debate the differences in an inquiry and an investigation with you. I'm only replying to this topic because one of your fellow Dawg fans referred to LSU as the "dirtiest program in recent memory" which was a completely idiotic statement to make but whatever.
I know more about the OLOL situation than is reported and simply tried to inform you and the other UGA posters that it isnt related to LSU athletics at all and hasnt been connected in any way besides the payment to a father of an LSU player but like I said to the other guy, you'll believe whatever you want.

Good, because it makes no difference. The NCAA obviously is looking into it.
investigation
[in?vest?'gaSH(?)n]
NOUN
the action of investigating something or someone; formal or systematic examination or research.
Now...pay very close attention to the second definition:
inquiry
['inkw?re, in'kwi(?)re]
NOUN
an act of asking for information.
"a reporter from New York makes inquiries" · [more]
synonyms:
question · query
an official investigation.
Do you see inquiry? Do you see the part that says, "Official investigation"?
If you don't like the definition argue with Webster.

False. There is a difference in what the NCAA classifies as an inquiry or an official investigation regardless of what your dictionary tells you.
Technically LSU could be held accountable for the payment even though it had nothing to do with the school or the current coaching staff although its currently doubtful that there will be any kind of penalty.

Was it any more idiotic that what a LSU fan said when starting this thread?
Let me give you a hint. When one of your fellow LSU fans tries to troll a fan base with outrageous claims, don't get involved. let him get roasted and hopefully learn a lesson. people are going to react by saying equally outrageous claims against your team.
quote:When it involves LSU boosters paying LSU players it does, indeed involve LSU. There is no way to slice it.I mean, your saying that would be like a Georgia booster was caught paying recruits and us coming on here and claiming it had nothing to do with Georgia.

Listen carefully.....the NCAA is looking into it. tehy are asking questions. Are you denying that?
quote:The school and the coaching staff is never (or rarely) going to have any direct involvement. But when boosters do things for the benefit of the school, then the schools pay for it. There are WAAAAAY too many examples of boosters getting schools in trouble for you to deny this.
Technically LSU could be held accountable for the payment even though it had nothing to do with the school or the current coaching staff although its currently doubtful that there will be any kind of penalty.
Let me put it this way....if the NCAA found that Georgia boosters were paying recruits the last 2-3 years, what do you think would happen?

Everyone keeps saying "players" when it was one guy's dad, do you think they're just gonna pay one decent offensive lineman and leave everyone else out?

A NCAA notice of inquiry is given when there is an impending investigation. If you know the difference, then you know this to be true. If not, here is a link explaining it for you using Louisvilles latest debacle:
The NCAA has given a verbal notice of inquiry to the University of Louisville regarding possible violations with its men’s basketball program. The move shows the NCAA may be moving forward in assessing the violations committed in the pay-for-play scandal involving several schools, adidas and the FBI investigations revealed in October 2018.

Now, a notice of inquiry does not necessarily mean that an investigation HAS to take place, but probably will.

Well at least a couple of players were wrapped up in it....Jamal Adams and Rohan davey. But that doesn't matter if it was 1 or 10.
Here is one:
According to federal court records, prosecutors charge Funes used vouchers to make eighteen payments to whom Davey identified as his mother and sister in Florida. Prosecutors said the payments totaled about $107,000 and were disguised to look like home medical care and other expenses for a children's hospital patient.
Aaaaaaand #2:
An LSU booster named John Paul Funes, who pleaded guilty to stealing more than a half-million dollars from a foundation where he worked as a fundraiser, paid $180,000 to a man that Yahoo Sports confirmed on Friday is the father of former Tigers star lineman Vadal Alexander.

Were you unaware that Rohan Davies said his family was involved, too?

The only way its related to LSU is the parties involved likely met each other thru LSU.
A guy who happens to be an LSU booster was funneling money from the foundation he oversaw thru businesses ran by families of Rohan Davey and Vadal Alexander and then getting kick backs.
The Alexander money could possibly be seen as "impermissible benefits" but that doesnt explain the booster getting money back from Alexander's dad.
Said booster was sentenced to 33 months in jail and paid the money back.
