LOL, LSU booster embezzlement scandal didnt even make the news at the time

[Michchamp]

I didn't remember reading about this at all when it happened. did anybody?

not sure it was even reported at the time...

We probably should have known this LSU football team was destined for greatness last August with the explosive revelation that an LSU booster named John Paul Funes had pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $800,000 dollars from a hospital charitable foundation, including gift cards meant for cancer patients.​

okaaaaay... and here's how it relates to LSU:

Among the reasons Funes got caught? He had directed $180,000 of the foundation?s money to the father of Vadal Alexander, an LSU offensive lineman at the time, as part of a scheme to make it appear as though the father was working for the foundation. He had also flown friends and family to LSU games on the foundation's dime, trips that were logged as "outbound patient transports.?​

Fuck the NCAA, man. Seriously.

Just declare open season already and let teams pay the players.

an "enforcement scheme" in name only just serves to punish the programs that actually obey the rules.

I don't know about you, but all this shit makes me appreciate Jim Harbaugh a lot more. fuck the naysayers... if we could buy recruits like they do at dirty programs, he'd be 60-0 in his 5 years. And if you disagree you can go fuck yourself :tup:

and they reported the sentence w/out any details. could be eligible for parole much sooner than that.

I am sure his LSU buddies will take care of him, both while he's in the pen, & when he gets out.

and he'll be in some minimum security "club med" prison

Yep, it's nice that Jim is doing it right and you're correct that it would be a different story if he wasn't. That's the only thing that I think will level the playing field between Michigan and the schools that are elite because they are laughing at the rules.

Well, I am glad that LSU won the NC, just because they are not Bama or Clemson. But as usual for the SEC they have a dirty program.

 

[tomdalton22]

It's too bad both of those teams couldn't lose. I can't stand either of the coaches.

Best team in the country that money could buy, this year.

I'd be interested to ask Shea what he got that convinced him to pick Ole Miss coming out of high school. Nobody just picks Mississippi when you have offers from every school in the country. It's worth asking just to see if it's something you can live with. If we're just talking about an escalade and a "job" that pays a "fair" wage, I think I can live with that.

Frustrating how far away Michigan is

if he's dirty, maybe UM slid him some $$ as well

Elie Manning probably didn't get paid but Laquon Treadwell definitely did. One of my cousin's best friends teaches at Crete-Monee (Treadwell's high school). He told my cousin a story about overhearing Laquon's friends openly talking about him getting paid to go to Ole Miss.

a couple years ago, an Ohio State BBall player tweeted how unfair it was that all the football players got new cars, and the basketball team didn't. anyone remember that?

Possibly. Talk about shitty roi.

that's funny

 

[thewolverines24]

School official said the money was fake. That's good enough for the NCAA.

He saw the same things Laquon Treadwell did....

that's his fault for going to a football school and/or for not being good enough to be recruited by arizona, Louisville, dook, ku or uk.
