LSU Football Self-Imposes Penalties, Bans Odell Beckham Jr. from Facilities

LSU is self-imposing penalties for rules violations and hoping the NCAA doesn’t levy more.
The school is docking itself eight football scholarships over a two-year period and reducing recruiting visits, evaluations and communication after a nearly two-year investigation uncovered booster payments to the father of a football player, sources tell Sports Illustrated. The school is banning from its facilities for two years ex-LSU receiver and current NFL star Odell Beckham Jr., who distributed $2,000 worth of $100 bills during a wild scene that unfolded on the field following LSU’s win over Clemson in the national championship game in the New Orleans Superdome.
quote:
According to previous correspondence between the school and NCAA, LSU believes its violations are Level 1 in nature, which is the most serious of the NCAA’s infraction ladder. However, there are three degrees within Level 1: aggravated, standard and mitigated. LSU’s self-imposed penalties are typical for a Level 1 mitigated, which normally does not carry a postseason ban according to the NCAA's sanction matrix. Aggravated and standard Level 1 violations carry, at the very least, a one-year postseason ban.

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.”
• Beckham’s cash payments to players immediately after the Tigers won the championship. LSU officials initially told reporters that Beckham was handing out fake money, but later retracted that assertion after quarterback Joe Burrow acknowledged in an interview that the cash was real. LSU said the payments totaled $2,000, a Level III violation.

This "should" start an NCAA investigation into all the schools because if that's what a top 10 guard recruit is getting, what are the 5* tackles getting at Bama, or the 5* DTs at Clemson, or the multiple 5* WRs OSU got last class, and LSU got the #1 CBs in back to back classes

Everybody who is competitive is dirty as frick. As soon as this stuff is removed from being under the table, the better.

The article more or less says as much. It says the Odell stuff is a Level III. The scholarship reductions are due to the OLOL stuff

3 auto plants, an aviation manufacturer, 3 thriving ports, and the number 1 travel destination in the North America for a decade plus. None of our FBS programs have losing records either.
But congrats on your BP platforms, I’m sure they’ve never had any issues.
