He definitely is now. No way the NCAA can turn a blind eye to that one.
At every major program this is bound to happen at some point. Some boosters want to feel important and do stupid stuff. The problem with a stunt like this is it might bring pressure to investigate LSU and I can promise one could be found. Worse for them, it might make boosters think they can do this at will and really start it rolling.
Did his scholarship read that it ended as soon as the gun sounded?
In his case, yes.
Yeah.... Right. OBJ carries around a pocket full of fake cash to pass out to players after games. I don't believe anyone will be "buying" that one. Either way, he's not very smart if he doesn't expect that this would make the media and be a big deal. Sad part is, if the "normal" holds true... he'll be working at Walmart at age 50 because he has no more cash to hand out. I think it's been estimated 78% of NFL players are bankrupt 2 years after leaving the league.
I'd be curious to see the true metrics on this.
Don't know... just quoting what was "googled" on the percentage... but it's similar to lottery winners too. They go bankrupt at an incredible rate also.
The list I remember seeing had guys in the $20-$100M range. Sean Kemp, Andre Rison, Michael Vick, Trent Richardson, Lenny Dykstra etc... so much money they thought it would never run out.
I had 0 belief that guy was going to stay and be an assistant to an assistant Coach... To Ed Orgeron.
