I think you, along with many others, are not looking at the whole picture of those defending OBJ. Speaking for myself, this is how I feel: OBJ did something stupid in the heat of the moment thinking it was funny with the money. The security guard was giving LSU players massive shite and OBJ tried to take his attention away and embarrass him (Not ok, but he wasn't being malicious...immature and dumb absolutely).
Overall, the guy has been incredible for our program. Our players absolutely love him. The coaches clearly love him. He has never been arrested for drugs or beating women or owning guns, etc etc. His biggest problem is that he has a vibrant personality and speaks out candidly about how he feels after games. He absolutely loves LSU. He is a fan like I am. He has done more for this university than 99% of alumni. I also can assure you that he is embarrassed and probably feels bad that this came back on LSU. You don't write off some of your most successful alumni because of a SMALL mistake they made in the heat of the moment.
TL;DR- don't excuse the actions, stupid of him, he's not some horrible person that should be banished forever.

Agree with some of what you said, but OBJ does not strike me as someone that is ever embarrassed by his actions.
And, I am not sure paying players in front of cameras and getting the NCAA to investigate it is a "small mistake".
