You got the story half right.
He didn't payoff football players during their recruitment or while they were paying. He used contacts he made with various individuals, which included EX-Players and their families, in his embezzlement scheme. Basically money laundering. He was not using players or families while they were playing at LSU.

Another illiterate idiot.
Did you bother to see what I quoted? He was SPECIFICALLY talking about Rohan Davey's family, directly from the article:
quote:
Former LSU quarterback Rohan Davey confirmed to the Baton Rouge Business Report in June that his mother and sister are "Individual A" and "Individual B" in the bill of information.
Prosecutors alleged that Funes submitted numerous vouchers in which he fraudulently represented that the money was needed to pay for home medical care and other expenses for an OLOL Children's Hospital patient. But Davey's mother and sister, nor any of their family members, had ever been patients at the hospital. Prosecutors said "Individual A" and "Individual B" funneled about $63,000 back to Funes.
Davey played at LSU from 1998 to 2001 and was selected by the New England Patriots in the fourth round of the 2002 NFL draft. The payments were allegedly made to his mother and sister after he left LSU.
What Funes did was stupid and terrible with hospital money, but it has nothing to do with recruits or players or their families getting impermissible benefits according to the NCAA, otherwise OBVIOUSLY the NCAA would be all over this currently. It's a money laundering scheme and he happened to get contacts through some players at the school whose family members got involved in this. This was a story a year ago.

Germans, no he didn’t (he paid the FORMER players’ families through the players, not the players themselves), no link, and melt.

You should pass this info on to LSU, as they refused to comment due to an ongoing investigation.

However, we have this nugget
quote:
Prosecutors alleged Funes approved payments of approximately $180,000 to an individual identified as "Individual C" in the bill of information.
Individual C was apparently the father of then-LSU football player, Vadal Aledxander:
quote:
Sources told ESPN that "Individual C" is the father of former LSU offensive lineman Vadal Alexander, who was a four-year starter for the Tigers from 2012 to 2015. His father, James Alexander, is a self-employed entrepreneur in Atlanta.

Yes, since it's a non-issue, they should be free to comment.

Just think how many hookers the very religious Hugh Freeze could have bought with that kind of cash.

The Baton Rouge Business Report reported in June that Funes sent the money to James Alexander when his son was still playing for the Tigers, which might be a violation of NCAA rules regarding impermissible benefits.
According its 2017 federal tax return, Our Lady of the Lake Foundation made a $15,000 grant to the Tiger Booster Clubs, which supports LSU athletics.
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."
Re-quoting for the head-in-the-sand LSU fans

Was hoping there would be some honest and open discussion. Guess I should have known better.

Well if you wanted to give full context instead of trolling, you'd mention that the LSU families he "gave" money to were former players, not recruits.
What about Vadal Alexander's family? Alexander was a current player, at the time his folks got paid.

A Louisiana man who pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $500,000 from a hospital foundation and giving some of the stolen money to the parents of two former LSU football players was sentenced to federal prison Thursday.
Operative terms - some and parents.
