The shitty thing about this is John Paul wasn't running a scheme to specifically pay player's families.


This is lost on a whole lot of media members. Probably intentionally.

That's a dissenting opinion compared to these anti-NCAA views: quote:

Yeah
The payments to Alexander and Davey's family had nothing to do with LSU football. It was well after they had finished at LSU.
Don't get me wrong, it's still a bad look but JP's crime was that he was too nice and willing to help those in times of need.

Crap like this is 100% why this country needs to abandon the NCAA. All these "amateur" rules are ridiculous & not created nor enforced in a world that resembles reality.


Not sure it would matter if the rules were changed.

If the NCAA allowed players to be paid, boosters would still pay players under the table to come to their program.

The 8 scholarships, something is up there that we don't know about. What did O and staff get caught doing?

Yeah, that seem pretty damn penal for a self imposed penalty. They must really not want folks sniffing around

I personally think self-imposing scholarships for the OBJ idiocy is idiotic as well, but I understand with how assanine the NCAA is. It was a dumb-arse stunt in front of people and wasn't some major benefit that LSU was trying secretly give players (though we know that happens with all of these teams anyway with boosters, etc). It was dumb and I think they collected all of the money back anyway. Penalties should be for institutions really trying to get over in a systematic way. OBJ is just an attention whore.

100% absolutely nothing. Rohan had NOTHING to do with his mother and sister getting payments over a decade after he left LSU.

Well, thank God it wasn't some sexual predator accusation. No one was injured or died and that is good.

booster paying a player's father for a no-show job is way worse than what OBJ did.


OBJ is a booster paying players though.

How is that not worse?

Because you have a state full of coonasses and cajuns with a shrimp boat captain who runs LSU's team. I mean, you have Destroya running NO, JBE running the state, and a a bighead cajun running LSU's team. Not exactly a lot of bright people here when it comes to leadership positions.

That was one of the more bigoted posts I’ve read towards one’s own home state. Wow. Incredible.
