LSU football was forced to deal with the NCAA after winning the national championship, due to former Tigers wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr handing out cash to players on the field.
LSU’s athletic department initially said the money was counterfeit. They even showed CBS Sports a fake bill the next day that was found on the field after their win against Clemson.
But Tigers quarterback Joe Burrow told Barstool Sports this week the money was real. As a result, both LSU and the NCAA decided to take a closer look at the situation.
Fortunately for LSU, common sense (and the actual rules) seems to have prevailed.
