From Dellenger SI Article

quote:

• The father of former offensive lineman Vadal Alexander received $180,000 in stolen money from LSU booster John Paul Funes, who admitted in 2019 that he embezzled more than half a million dollars from Our Lady of the Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge. The money was payment from 2012 to 2017 for what the NCAA characterized as a “no-show job.”


Probably got off easier by self-reporting, that other $320,000 probably went to players/families as well.. they just couldn’t prove it.

If this is the extent of punishment, so be it.

Also from SI article

quote:

In its favor, LSU no longer employs two high-ranking athletic department members, athletic director Joe Alleva and football coach Les Miles, who were in their positions during the booster payments. The booster payments were the most serious of a three-pronged investigation into the program that began in late 2018.


Having new leadership being proactive and transparent has most likely helped our case
