1. 2011–12 — An NCAA major-infractions case involving football recruiting violations put LSU on probation.
2. 2012–17 — Booster John Paul Funes provided approximately $180,000 in impermissible benefits to the family of a football player, using money embezzled from a hospital foundation.
3. 2013 — LSU’s investigation of football coach Les Miles was intentionally stored outside the university’s normal records system. Then-athletic director Joe Alleva recommended firing Miles. LSU kept him.
4. 2017–19 — Basketball coach Will Wade was caught on an FBI wiretap discussing a “strong-arse offer.” LSU suspended Wade in 2019 after he refused to meet with university and NCAA officials, then reinstated him five weeks later.
5. 2020 — LSU’s mishandling of sexual-misconduct allegations was exposed. Odell Beckham Jr. handed cash to LSU players after the national championship game. LSU later self-imposed scholarship reductions, recruiting restrictions and a bowl ban while the NCAA investigation continued.
6. 2021 — An independent review found systemic Title IX failures. Verge Ausberry was suspended for 30 days without pay.
7. 2022 — LSU fired Wade after receiving an NCAA Notice of Allegations containing multiple Level I charges. In a separate case, the NCAA found that the football program committed recruiting violations during the COVID-19 dead period and imposed another year of probation.
8. 2023 — The larger football and basketball case was resolved. LSU received more punishment, including three additional years of probation beginning when the previous probation ended on Sept. 21, 2023.
9. 2024 — LSU paid $1.9 million to settle Title IX claims without admitting liability.
10. 2026 — LSU rehired Wade. The athletic director announcing the decision was Ausberry. LSU pursued international professional basketball players, an NBA draft pick and players with other professional experience. It explored outside capital connected to future SEC media revenue. Its football program pushed to add players who had signed NFL contracts and gone through NFL camps.

Which fanbase hasn't posted this yet? But yeah, Urban Meyer sure had control of his program.
Except for harboring queer murderers, of course
Also known as, the last time Florida was relevant

why'd you leave out this blurb from the article you linked
quote:
Eleven current SEC universities have been found and penalized by the NCAA for lack of institutional control. Together they account for 19 final NCAA findings. Seven received at least one while competing in the SEC. Four others were admitted to the conference with those findings already in their histories.
None was expelled.
LSU is not one of the 11.

This is the history that exposes the SEC’s hypocrisy.
It is not a list of schools accused by the SEC. The conference has never publicly adjudicated such a case against one of its members.
These are the 11 current SEC universities that the NCAA found and penalized for lack of institutional control. Together, they account for 19 final NCAA findings. Seven received at least one while they belonged to the SEC. Four others carried such findings in their records when the SEC later admitted them.
None was expelled.
Alabama — 1995
Improper bank loans and inadequate university handling of the underlying records. The NCAA imposed probation and other penalties; portions of the decision were later modified on appeal. Alabama remained in the SEC.
Auburn — 1993
The Eric Ramsey case involved cash and unsecured loans to players, extra benefits and unethical conduct. The NCAA imposed probation, scholarship reductions, a postseason ban and television penalties. Auburn remained in the SEC.
Florida — 1985
The Charley Pell-era football case involved widespread violations concerning recruiting, improper benefits, outside funds, practices and complimentary tickets. The NCAA penalized Florida. Florida remained in the SEC.
Kentucky — 1976, 1989 and 2002
The cases involved recruiting violations, improper benefits, outside funds, cash provided to a prospect, academic fraud, falsified records and deficient fiscal control. The NCAA penalized Kentucky each time. Kentucky remained in the SEC after all three findings.
Mississippi State — 1975 and 1996
The cases involved recruiting inducements, extra benefits, transportation, recruiting entertainment and unethical conduct. The NCAA penalized Mississippi State. Mississippi State remained in the SEC.
Missouri — 1979 and 1990
The cases included improper recruiting, extra benefits, financial-aid violations and unethical conduct. Both findings occurred while Missouri belonged to the Big Eight. The SEC admitted Missouri in 2012.
Oklahoma — 1960 and 1988
The cases involved improper financial aid, recruiting inducements, benefits, transportation, outside funds and unethical conduct. Both findings preceded Oklahoma’s SEC membership. The SEC admitted Oklahoma in 2024.
Ole Miss — 1994 and 2017
The cases involved booster recruiting, inducements, extra benefits and unethical conduct. The 2017 decision described an unconstrained football culture. The NCAA penalized Ole Miss. Ole Miss remained in the SEC.
South Carolina — 1991 and 2005
The first finding came shortly before South Carolina joined the SEC. The second involved impermissible tutoring, extra benefits, unethical conduct and failure to monitor. The NCAA penalized South Carolina. South Carolina remained in the SEC.
Texas — 1987
The case involved improper entertainment, financial aid, lodging, transportation, extra benefits, complimentary tickets and recruiting violations. The finding occurred while Texas belonged to the Southwest Conference. The SEC admitted Texas in 2024.
Texas A&M — 1988 and 1994
The cases involved improper employment, benefits, recruiting violations and a booster jobs program that paid athletes for work they did not perform. The NCAA classified Texas A&M as a repeat violator. Both findings occurred in the Southwest Conference. The SEC admitted Texas A&M in 2012.

Ironically Florida and LSU have both been completely irrelevant in CFB since 2019

7. 2022 — LSU fired Wade
In a little more than a month, we get to watch Will Wade do his Lane Kiffin imitation and try to play the NBA ST John's player. Good times ahead.

When you link an article, you don't leave out anything. If I had not linked the article you would have a grievance. My thread was about the list of things LSU has recently done wrong that was provided by the LSU journalist.

He's a former Ole Miss staffer that wasn't retained by Kiffin and now is a GM at a car dealership.
ETA- The guy who originally Tweeted it is who I'm referring to.

The fact LSU is currently on probation does not help their cause.
