The LSU Football program vacated 37 wins from 2012-2015 as a self-imposed penalty after receiving a notice of allegations from the NCAA back in March of 2022.

The wins were vacated because former LSU offensive lineman Vadal Alexander competed while ineligible his entire career. Per The Advocate:
quote:

LSU self-imposed the penalty in its response to the NOA, which the school received March 2022. The penalty remained confidential until the final ruling was released Thursday.

Alexander was ineligible because his father was paid $180,150 in funds embezzled by former head of the Our Lady of the Lake Foundation John Paul Funes. According to the case decision, they were introduced in early 2012/early 2013 by the LSU assistant athletic director for football operations.

Funes, the panel said, offered to employ Alexander’s mother at an OLOL hospital and his father at the foundation. Though Alexander’s father received recurring payments for almost five years, the decision said, he worked no more than five events.

The infraction was considered a Level I violation.

“ Though Alexander’s father received recurring payments for almost five years, the decision said, he worked no more than five events.”

This sounds like every politician.

So--is the NCAA going to pay back all the money lost betting on the games? Attorneys need to get involved like those collecting money to pay for asbestos or other issues.

They weren't point shaving. And if you have some tickets left from 2012 that you didn't tear up, knock yourself out. I'm sure there's a lawyer somewhere who'd take a crackpot case like that.

Did LSU win a Natty those years? Nope. Not worried. However I wouldn't pay the postage to mail the Outback trophy to Iowa, the Music City trophy to Notre Dame, or the Texas Bowl trophy to Texas Tech. Let them send someone down to pick them up themselves.

Well, only Tech would have to come get the trophy. We never had the first two to begin with.

According to LSUsports.net we beat Iowa 21-14 Wed Jan 1 on 2014. I read the ND wrong...so you are correct on that one.
