Are the boosters who front all of this money getting nervous?

I'm not sure what the legal ramifications are for boosters that have been caught paying players, but assuming there are some...surely they are a little nervous and most likely upset about how poorly the LSU coaching staff has handled this? IF LSU did in fact pay players (wink wink), I would assume it is going to be pretty hard for Wade and his team to get the funding they need to buy next year's team.

What are the potential legal ramifications for boosters convicted of paying players to attend a university? Again, this is assuming that LSU, or any university for that matter, actually paid a player or player's "handler".

Read Godfrey’s bag man article. The 300k number is fiction and hilarious.

None. It's not illegal to pay players it's just against NCAA rules, therefore they can't be convicted to begin with.

I asked where the money came from, or would come and was downvoted into oblivion with no explanation.

So I guess this is just a question we shouldn't ask?

dude there is nothing to worry about the money isn't coming from boosters, it is coming from sponsors so there shouldn't be any paper trail.

Evidently most of the money is coming from shoe companies.

It more likely that much of any such money for any program comes from shoe companies, middle men, and agents.
I doubt there is that much slush fund money available from any booster group in the country. There is not much "return on investment" for any booster to give a six figure amount for one recruit.
