Seems obvious.
With the Will Waders stuff and the Eddie Ogre stuff combined, what does everyone think is actually going to happen to LSU athletics? Serious question.

Are we about to see a death penalty scenario? Maybe for the entire athletics department?

I know people like to throw that around around here a lot as a joke, but if I'm being serious, something like this may actually need to be done.

Did y'all know that Louisiana is one of the most corrupt states in the country? That isn't a knock on your average Louisiana citizen, it's just a fact. If we look at what is going on with LSU athletics, something needs to happen. And something major.

Guys, you can't frickin do shite like this and expect to just get away with it. I've been saying this for years. If something isn't done about shite like this it could literally tear the entire conference apart. We Arkansas fans have already seen it first hand.

You cannot have a literal "ride or die" attitude and expect to get away with it indefinitely.

Something needs to be done. I want folks opinions on what that will be. I say death penalty, and I'm not saying this to be mean. I think it is appropriate.

Sources within the athletic dept are bracing for the worst.

Sources are indicating the likely punishment for football will be vacation of wins, 30 scholarships over 3 years and a 2 year post season ban. Similar to USC.

Sounds to me like they're actually hoping for the best. This stuff is half a light year beyond what happened with USC.

Speaking of USC. Wasn't Eddie O mixed up with that shite too?

How many different schools has this dude been mixed up with that ended up being exposed as corrupt?

What exactly is football being punished for?

I’m saying 15 scholarships over 3-5 years and a two year bowl ban and three if they try to count this year.

For the OLOL stuff? Seems harsh unless there's a lot more to come out.

Even then it wouldn't vacate the national title which seems to keep being repeated around here.

No death penalty - definitely LOIC.

The NCAA can’t continue to seem weak when it comes to Title IX issues if it wants to survive in the modern era. They know this, and LSU will probably be their precedent-setting case where they leverage it in a LOIC charge and decision, rather than use it directly as an infraction.

LOIC is against the entire AD, so any program with infractions (even small) can theoretically feel the wrath of the NCAA.

Its complete bullshite how these punishments work.

You have an office that didnt properly investigate allegations (allegedly) and some tennis coaches who didn't report allegations (allegedly) so they'll punish a bunch of football players and coaches who had nothing to do with anything.

Same with the OLOL case which had nothing to do with LSU at all.

The USC thing was bullshite and most of the other punishments handed down have been too, the NCAA is a joke.

I agree. The title is not involved here. The guy from OLOL will be considered a booster and that won't be good for the football program.

Honestly, you can't claim that. A football player's parent got money from that. That's where a wannabe booster fricks up a program.

I will say it’s bullshite how some programs walk when they have major issues. Lawsuits over technicalities (Penn State, NC) should result in suspension from the NCAA.

The NCAA rules themselves are completely reasonable (outside of the fact that ‘amateurism’ is bullshite).

In LSU’s case, LOIC is when multiple programs have concurrent issues:

Basketball has Wade-gate.
Football has a few infractions.
Those 2 are enough for you to be concerned.

The Title IX is what really makes the case for LOIC though. You said it yourself:
quote:

You have an office that didnt properly investigate allegations

That key word pretty much directly meets the definition for LOIC. It’s not a coach. It’s not some boosters. It’s an office of the institution.

No one to blame but yourself for being in denial. We all tried to tell you there would be consequences for this stuff.

It happens. I don’t know why the current admin was so dumb to sit on this stuff and let it all blow up in their face at once. That’s what’s going to kill LSU.

I think LSU gets hit somewhat for the OLOL stuff, but not directly. The Funes stuff is bad and the fact that the place he was stealing from is a hospital is absolutely abhorrent. It also doesn't help LSU that the person he was using to funnel the money is a former player's father is not exactly ideal, but I don't know how much of an NCAA issue it is and how much of a criminal issue it is.

Between those issues with football, the basketball allegations, and the tennis coaches doing who the frick knows, a LOIC charge is certainly within the realm of possibility. I think LSU gets by with just under that, something like a year or 2 postseason ban and 15 scholarships over 3 years for football. I'm not as in the know on basketball sanctions, so maybe what Tennessee got when Pearl lied to the NCAA.
