The Louisiana Legislative Auditor's office released a public report of its audit of the LSU athletic department and revealed that the school overpaid football head coach Brian Kelly by $1,001,368 in May and June 2022 (h/t Holly Duchmann of Greater Baton Rouge Business Report).

The report revealed that LSU made supplemental payments directly to Kelly from when he was hired in Nov. 2021 to April 2022. However, the school also began making supplemental payments to Kelly's LLC (limited liability company) in May 2022.

The intention was to pay the coach through the LLC as opposed to directly, but the school accidentally made double payments in May and June 2022.
