Especially if they can determine it was returned. I can't see how any returning player would keep the money.
You’d like to think they had the sense not to, but here’s my concern: Imagine being that age and partying with a millionaire pro athlete in NOLA.. I can think of quite a few ways that money could have been spent within 2-3 hours.
Also it would still be against NCAA rules even for the players who are not returning, as they are still student athletes until they declare. No impact to the players obviously, but I’m not sure if the NCAA would choose to hit the program. Seems like the upside is that it happened after the game so you don’t have to worry about any potential ineligibility DURING the game. But if he was doing it on the sidelines before they even did the fricking trophy ceremony.. who knows.
My guess is that our compliance department resolves this quickly and we move on. For once this is what they are paid to do...

well they just need to determine how much he gave up and get it all back then. seems like the easiest solution.
it was really a silly act. i wouldn't have a problem with it if he cleared it ahead of time and it was recorded as proof they weren't keeping it. or as originally thought, use fake money.
i have no idea how a former college athlete could think that was okay, but he definitely seemed drunk.

That player would be deemed ineligible. It’s not illegal For a player to be payed you just can’t play them in a game afterwards.
We only have proof that OBJ payed Jefferson. Jefferson is no longer considered an amateur and is ineligible under NCAA bylaws. As long as he doesn’t play for LSU again, in this particular instance, we have done nothing wrong no matter how bad it looks
