That is exactly what someone said to me earlier when this broke.
Yea, I would expect that old ball coach at Capitol is getting a good attorney real soon. Randall would be wise to do so also. The kids suffer for an adults mistake. What else is new?

if you look at the roster they built, you knew something like this had to be coming...

Pure speculation: Randall & Brownfield set up "foundation" and start soliciting donations and recruiting athletes. I'd love to see an audited donor list. I'll bet the inspiration comes from somewhere east of Louisiana....hmmm. Anywho, student is admitted but foundation never pays tuition or income based financial assistance. At some point a parent has to know something is up. Unpaid tuition bills don't just go unnoticed. All kinds of juicy shite could happen from here. Parent confronts foundation, foundation says "no problem" we will fix it and here's $5k for your troubles. Maybe a parent gets nervous because if the foundation doesn't pay then they are on the hook? Beancounters at SU either get nervous because enrollment isn't matching tuition collected or somebody calls complaining. Yeah, this will end with indictments.

What happened had to do with financial payments to cover the tuition costs for the student-athletes in the football program. They offer financial help to kids who can't afford the tuition. Well, Southern University is supposedly involved with this and the books are kept for accounting purposes. This money never made it to the players to pay for their tuition. The money was "pocketed" by the coach that was fired from Capitol and Randall knew about it as they were best friends and did nothing.
Holy crap. This could turn criminal.
Was the money even legit financial aid? Or could it have been deemed for athletics even if the money did make it to the right place?

The technicality is that the players probably had no idea they were playing for free, but the infraction happened and had to be punished
While I agree with you... the player's parents knew, or should have known. Either they knew their child was going to school for free to play football, or they knew they were not getting the assistance checks yet also not geting bills from the school.
How did Southern Lab not realize the tuition bills were not getting paid?

Damn, that actually sounds about right actually from what I have been told.
For their sake they should be happy you aren't the lead investigator

Could you imagine if that donor list shows the name or connection to Randall's college coach?

Tigerdroppings would explode the internet. Unfortunately, he's probably to slick for that and the donor would be a ghost account. Probably some hillbilly bank in Podunk, AL wiring a couple thousand a month under the name Rick Naban.

Great point. If donors were giving their money to the foundation to pay for kids tuition to get their education that is one thing, but to have that money donated and then be used to pay for football players to attend school after "reaching out" as the foundation did through Brownfield, that is a different story entirely. That is recruiting. That is incentive financially to attend said school.
BUT, to make matters worse!!
the money never makes it's way to the books of the University!! It gets pocketed along the way. What a mess.. If the money did pay for the tuition you still have the problem with recruiting kids to the school in the first place.
What likely happened was that the school saw the discrepancy and began to investigate. They found out that Brownfield was using this "foundation" for recruiting athletes to the school and had the "donors" money siphoned off by he and possibly others hoping that no one would know. How they would figure that is crazy.
They realized they were not getting paid when they did their audit. The books didn't match the enrollment

Similar thing happened with Shaw and fraudulent "need based" tuition waivers but the embezzling money in this case takes it to a whole new level
