Booster Payments Often Have Nothing Whatsoever to Do With a School
Posted on 6/22/19 at 2:07 pm

For decades loose-cannon boosters have gone out on their own to try to induce recruits to sign with a program. Some are mega-fans who want to look important to established boosters. And some want to get in tight with NFL caliber recruits & make deals to cash in when the kid goes pro.
This is nothing new. It has been going on for decades, and programs have zero ability to control these non-program opportunists.

Yeah.... but the problem here is that the NCAA doesn’t care whether the booster went rogue

This was not a payment for play or payment for signing based on the info out.
This is a guy who met people and convinced them to take payments which he disguised on the accounting records to be legitimate. Then the people who took the money paid most of the money back to him so he could steal it from the original entity.
This was not paying money for an athletic advantage for LSU. This was a criminal scheme to steal money.

Is this what's happened to the director at the Our Lady of the Lake hospital in BR who was associated with LSU fb?

the bad side of all this is that OLOL is a corporate partner of LSU athletics.

Wrong. Again.

The facts would indicate that Funes had a money laundering scheme going bigtime.

I think the program can still beheld accountable. I think that's what happened with the Bush situation. But the difference here is Funes was not paying for players, he was trying to funnel money through people he knew personal and then back to himself. The fact some of these people were family of LSU football players is incidental. At least that's what I've seen so far. I mean, of the 100 thousand Funes gave to Rohans family 63 thousand was returned to him. That doesn't look like he was paying for players, looks like he was paying himself. Regardless, I don't see the current program being sanctioned. Unless it has happened with a current players family and it's proven Funes was paying for play. Which is not what I see so far. Rohan was in the NFL when Funes gave money to his family. The Yawho retards are going to make more of it than there is, just like they have done and are doing with Wade.

Do you realize the can of worms this type of thinking would lead to? Let me assure you that is 100% the case and the university is absolutely liable.

If the people committing the crimes have no motives that in any way involve the university, and he extent of whose connection to the university is that they had a relative who went to school and played sports at LSU, I don’t see how this affects LSU at all.
It looks like a criminal undertaking by people with a tertiary at best relationship with the school.
