If the OLOL Thing Has Substance, Admin's Strategy

the OLOL Thing

The what??

I like the theory from a purely conspiratorial and entertainment standpoint. Let's run with it.

LOL if the NCAA was in the business of allowing schools to sacrifice different sports if another sport gets in trouble, it would be a massive shite show.

If that was the case I would have no problem sacrificing LSU women's basketball in order to save men's BB and FB

Was to throw Wade under the bus to appease the NCAA and salvage football. But Wade isn't cooperating. And I don't blame him.

Now, i may agree with you, if you were saying we are being much stricter on Wade due to the circumstances of the OLOL issue.

I think LSU is trying to show institutional control right now.

If the OLOL issue was non existent, the administration probably wouldn't be as involved in this mess.

In my humble opinion, if they are able to tie the OLOL scandal to LSU, any current posturing by the administration is pointless.

LSU's Board of Supervisors are appointed by the Governor, and confirmed by the state Senate. There are a ton of political tie-ins between LSU and state government at the highest level.
When Louisiana did away with the charity hospital system, OLOL stepped in and took over indigent care and all the healthcare for prisoners, etc. Everything the State previously was responsible for. There's a ton of wheeling and dealing between the State and OLOL at the highest levels, too.

Let's acknowledge that we don't live in an ideal fairytale world, and that LSU competes with other programs on basically a level field- in other words, we match offers for top recruits in a multi million dollar business.
The problem that seems to be surfacing is that there isn't sufficient layers of separation in the payouts... that if you dig in, you might could actually trace the funding back to the actual BOS or very close.

That isn't "lack of institutional control", it's actually "institutional cheating".

So,is the allegation or potential allegation that the foundation directly paid players or players famili3s Or is that the foundation employed family of players

If the OLOL foundation was used to funnel money to LSU football players. A lot of people are in trouble. Board members. Ceo. Cfo. Auditors. In addition to LSU.

I am not saying it did not happen. But it would be so foolish. And high risk to do,that with not for profit money.

The facts of the embezzlement certainly complicate it.

I,guess you could launder donations through the entity. But again if it was of any significance it would be extremely hard to find.

A multi hundred thousand embezzlement should have been very easy to,find.
