LSU is self-imposing penalties for football rules violations and hoping the NCAA doesn’t levy more.

You might remember OBJ from this event where he was handing out cash to players:

Odell Beckham Jr. Hands Out Cash to LSU Players After Win over Clemson

LSU alum Odell Beckham Jr. was seen handing out wads of cash to Tigers receivers after they won the national championship.

Also in the first article they found:

The father of former offensive lineman Vadal Alexander received $180,000 in stolen money from LSU booster John Paul Funes, who admitted in 2019 that he embezzled more than half a million dollars from Our Lady of the Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge. The money was payment from 2012 to 2017 for what the NCAA characterized as a “no-show job.”

Uh wow. I thought that would definitely just disappear and nothing would come of it because LSU/SEC. Can't believe they are actually giving up schollies. Nice

There better be additional sanctions. If it was Minnesota they'd have us removing banners as we speak.

What I don't like is that coaches typically leave a school in a mess. They should be penalized if they go onto another school right away. No accountability to these folks.

The NCAA has the option to put a show cause on him which means that any team that want to hire him must show why the hiring would be better for the sport.
Most teams do not want to go that route.
