How the **** is that LSU's fault?

LSU booster… do you know what separates a booster from a fan? It’s not something you just randomly can become. And it comes with a regulatory obligation from the school.

I’m an Alumni and Booster for GC&SU and get a fair amount of communication from them for both. There are rules and standards of what you can and cannot do because you are literally representing the university. The university compliance department has an obligation monitor booster active in regards to student athletes in a way it doesn’t with random fans.

Per NCAA rules
Provided a donation in order to obtain season tickets for any sport at the university.
Participated in or has been a member of an organization promoting the university’s athletics programs.
Made financial contributions to the athletic department or to a university booster organization.
Arranged for or provided employment for enrolled student-athletes.
Assisted or has been requested by university staff to assist in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes.
Assisted in providing benefits to enrolled student athletes or their families.
Been involved otherwise in promoting university athletics.


Can be a booster. The distinction is usually monetary. Not ever fan is a booster and not every donation makes you a booster. A booster is a designation from the school

“ Once an individual is identified as a “representative of the institution’s athletics interests,” the person retains that identity forever.

Only institutional staff members are permitted to recruit prospective student-athletes. Generally, NCAA rules prohibit anyone else from contacting (calling, writing or in-person contact) prospects or the prospect’s relatives or guardian for recruiting purposes.

Students are still considered prospects even if they have signed a National Letter of Intent or any other financial aid agreement with a university.

Boosters are not precluded from continuing established friendships with families who have prospective student-athletes. However, boosters may not encourage a prospect’s participation in university athletics or provide benefits to prospects that were not previously provided.

If a violation occurs, it may jeopardize a student-athlete’s eligibility for intercollegiate competition, jeopardize a school’s membership status with the NCAA or cause a booster to lose access to all booster benefits.”

So actually it was accurate

So why did so many coaches get fired?

From what I understand, your coaches are getting fired for being douchebags and breaking rules and regulations. To be honest, I really do not keep up with LOLsu coaches that much.

So like I said, pretty much anyone who has ever supported an athletic department could be considered a booster.

Limited knowledge is little better than no knowledge. Booster is a designator used by the school not the person. They are designated as a representative of the school and have both privileges and responsibilities. LSU chose him to be a booster.

The term is used rather interchangeably.

Not in court and not by the NCAA and not by the schools.

So what is your reasoning for the player's families kicking most of the money back to Funes?

And why was Funes providing money to the family of a player who had already retired from the NFL?

---

Because that is how MONEY LAUNDERING WORKS. The people you ask to help you launder it don't get to keep all of it or even most of it. The guy at the top gets most of it. What they hell would be the point of Funes laundering the money if he wasn't supposed to get the bulk of it back from the Alexanders??? Hey I'm gonna steal all of this money and I need you to launder the money. And guess what... YOU GET TO KEEP IT ALL!!!! I know I am the one at risk of going to prison but I'm feeling charitable. For ducks sakes you cannot be that stupid.

And I have no clue why he involved the Daveys. Maybe it was a preexisting shady relationship. Pretty sure not knowing the motivation for that relationship doesn't mean Funes wasn't trying to pay the family of player who was at LSU at the time.
