wrong.

LSU is being sued by reporters who want access to how much specific players are getting paid and LSU doesn't want to give them that.


Nor are they required to.

Right. That's why LSU put a business logo on the field and on the jersey.

That 20.5 is just the max tho. You aren't required to spend that.
The whole think is a mess and I hate to see it. But the NCAA has sucked for years and allowed all of this to happen rather than being proactive years ago. Never allow the courts to tell you how to run your organization.

that's not NIL money since that doesn't come from the school, they are asking about revenue sharing

How is LSU football NIL so big? Boosters or are they using most revenue on NIL?



The very short answer is that Brian Kelly spent so little that it left Lane a bunch to spend.

True but they get sued by the likes of Tn and Ole Miss for trying to enforce their rules. They only exist to govern member institutions but those institutions keep suing them.

I thought it started with the O'Bannon twins from UCLA.

That's their argument. Tho, I didn't see them suing any other public university in the state.
