I meant at the north gates of LSU. He lived in the ones by the Chase Bank on state street. High end for students.

Wasn't Weslye Saunders one of them?

the question is what is the extent of lsu's role in investigating into a player's living situation? is lsu supposed to check every monthly rent payment to determine the origination of the payment? that can not be. perhaps they ordred a review of everybody's living situation and found out that shep had moved apartments without notifying them.

My best guess is this is discounted rent compared to other tenants living in the facility. This would not be unheard of, but we shall see.

If they do get a stipend for what it would cost to live on campus, I think we're OK. The athletes that choose to live on campus live in WCA and it is more than the venue. I live in ECA and my cousin lives in the venue so I know ECA/WCA costs more

anyone else find it weird that only shep is involved in this or he is the only one made public? I find it hard to believe he was living off campus without other football players?

Saunders was one of them but he got booted for something else. 2 or 3 other players missed one or two games and may have had to reimburse the difference in rent discount they got

Off-Campus Housing

Student-athletes, who have the approval of their Head Coach to live off campus, are responsible for selecting suitable housing. In this regard, they are encouraged to contact the Residence Life Office to obtain a guide of locations that have been inspected by the University. When receiving housing as part of an athletic scholarship, student-athletes who live off campus may receive a stipend in-lieu-of on-campus housing. Allowances for off campus room/board differ from on campus values. "Cash-in-lieu" checks are distributed at the first of each month, September through May, and the first of June and July during summer school.

This story could be about 115 D 1 schools. Its not just LSU. We are the center of the attention for some reason- but go to Arky, Bama, etc and the same shite is going on.


I dont disagree....All schools do it. But there are people on this site who are delusional and think that all these accusations dont make us look bad. We are def. under a microscope right now and all this digging makes us look bad.

not sure if it's that easy to clear it like that.

the extent of lsu's involvement would seem to be to get a copy of the lease agreement and them to make sure it is a standard price, after that how are they supposed to control if a player gets a break on his rent?

You must be thinking of the wrong Venue because there is no way that's true. The Venue is way nicer. Unless ECA/WCA are 800 per month.

If a player CHOOSES to live off campus, which they can,they get a stipend for the amount of what it cost to live on campus.....guess around 700-800 stipend a month, could be less



Similar situation could be the Dwayne Jarrett one. He lived off campus and pocketed the stipend. All he had to do was pay it back. It will all come down to who was paying for the housing.

Just throw up the Ohio St defense - we looked into the car dealerships, nothing there

That seems to have died down quite a bit

The media is going to pounce, that's what they do

It will not change Sat night game experience in Death Valley

I would be completely shocked if Shepard knowingly did something against the rules that could hurt the LSU program, given how well he has represented himself and the university.

Nobody even knows if he got a break on his rent? That was purely speculative.

They may just be making sure he is paying the rent.

I know, there's probably some extra stuff that we dont yet know about. Hopefully this is just speculation
