What is correct then? According to this ESPN article at least one occurred while the guy was a current LSu player. Was there new info that came out about it? Just curious.
quote:
Prosecutors alleged Funes approved payments of approximately $180,000 to an individual identified as "Individual C" in the bill of information. 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. The bill of information didn't specify when the payments to James Alexander were allegedly made. 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.

Federal prosecutors also alleged that Funes caused 11 checks from the foundation to be issued to an individual living in Florida and seven more to be issued to the individual's daughter. The checks to "Individual A" and "Individual B" totaled about $107,000, according to the bill of information. 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.

The only one that could technically be an issue for LSU is the Vadal Alexander thing.
Rohan was already retired from the NFL when his mom and sister were involved.

I think this dead horse has been beaten so I’m not piling on but I’m bored and evidently I wouldn’t be good at coming up with a money scam because I don’t understand why the mom and sis got paid after he left LSU. Were they bribing the guy?

The foundation head couldn't just reroute foundation money into his account so he was paying people for work that wasn't happening and such but looked legitimate and collecting that money on the back end for himself.

If I remember correctly, that happened when Les Miles was the head coach, which was quite a long time ago, but nonetheless, LSU wasn't involved in his crimes whatsoever. As that moron did everything he did on his own and when he was caught, LSU was as surprised as anyone else.
If I remember correctly the dude was prosecuted and sentenced to like two years or something.
