It's a damn shame that this became a national story. Joe talking about it on PMT bummed me out too.
Jimmie Kimmel blew the lid off this thing last night on national TV. He had extreme close-ups of the money, plus a photo of OBJ posing with Chase and Jefferson's jerseys.

When Ohio State got busted, it was more for lying about the infractions than the infractions themselves.

Give the money back, take a 2 or 3 game suspension for a player or two, and move on. Not that big a deal.

I can't see how suspensions could even come if LSU immediately investigated and is continuing to be active about it. Especially if they can determine it was returned. I can't see how any returning player would keep the money.

At least this was after the game and season and they can address it before a new season.

I have little faith in Woodward to resolve this quickly. The video came out Monday night and he should have been working since then to round up all the players and money. The BS "fake money" story was never going to stick and it was stupid to put it out there.

Nobody needs to be suspended if the money was returned. This is all about one dumbass doing something ridiculously stupid and irresponsible. Damn it. Not even 24 hours had passed before we got OBJ cashgate and news that Brady is gone.

Missing a starter or two for the Texas game would be a pretty big deal.
