His oldest daughter is going to lose her insurance that her daddy carried through his work. She has lost that and has a life long disability.

LSU also needs to let it be known that he has two daughters that are now without their father. Those two girls are #MENDELSLEGACY

THe only reason LSU is involved is because of NCAA rules; we can't help Nick and his mom without following the rules the NCAA sets up for Such a thing. Those rules don't apply to his fiancé and children so anyone can donate directly to her gofundme account without fear of NCAA sanctions. i am sure both funds will recieve help from good people.

Prayers sent to the family, no monetary amount can replace family.

But the Tiget nation takes care of it's own...

Say what you want about how LSU does stuff but they're good at taking care of their own when tragedies happen.

Saw on FB as well, then re-posted by Les Miles.

Pretty sure the down vote was accidental.

Can someone closer to the situation than me explain to me the two funds, and where the benefit winds up, in the case that someone wants to split their donation?

As in, the one through TAF covers ________.

The one not through TAF covers ______.

My question makes the assumption that the "sanctioned" fund can only cover certain expenses, so if someone wanted to "split" there contribution, how (based on need) should that happen/be split.
