John Paul Funes sent $180,000 to the father of Vadal Alexander by tandrews37
yeah this raised my level of concern from a "1" to a "3".
Still not at Ole Miss or UNC or Miami levels of blatant disregard for the rules though.
Miami players with Shapiro got free steak dinners, boat rides, entrance into night and strip clubs . Nothing whatsoever like giving a prospects family 180k

We definitely didn't get what we paid for with Vadal. Damn dude had the dumbest personal foul in history when we played bama in 2014, right after Yeldon fumbled. Essentially gave those mofos a free timeout which let them carve us apart in the last minute.

Funes was NOT paying families for their children playing at LSU.
How do you know this?

This had nothing to do with LSU.
mmmmmm...yes it does. Funes was a "booster." This is classic "SMU" crap. It is LSU's responsibility to ensure these things do not occur. Schools can no longer throw their hands in the air and claim "they did not know."

If the NCAA want's to hand out sanctions then they need to do so by sanctioning the HC's that were at LSU during the time these payments were made.
Good luck trying to tell the NCAA what they can and can't do.

A little more digging into this Funes fiasco and this could get SMU bad.

Looks like the kind of guy who would talk shite to you when he’s out with 20 of his buddies and walk past you with his head down the next time you saw him alone

It is unclear whether those who received money from Funes will be targeted by the feds, now that the investigation into Funes is essentially done. But sources familiar with the case say that is not likely and court documents continue to stress—as has OLOL, which first announced the embezzlement scheme last November—that Funes acted alone.

Former LSU coach Les Miles, who led the Tigers during Alexander’s college career, says he is stunned to hear of the payments. “I didn’t know about it and wouldn’t have expected that in any way,” says Miles, now the head football coach at the University of Kansas.
Literally 0% chance Les didn't know about it.

i am more concerned we weren't getting better recruits if this kind of money was being offered
Alexander was all SEC and AP second team All American. You have some pretty high standards if you don’t thinks that was money well spent.

Honestly the best thing LSU has going for it is the fact Rohan’s family was picked as well AFTER his playing time at LSU
That leads to the conclusion he may have been picking athletes parents simply because that was the only poor people he was associated with to funnel the money to

Wasn't that a terrible flag? Or am I thinking of some other time the refs fricked us against Bama?
