LSU has reportedly launched an investigation into whether a short-lived website built around Leonard Fournette's catchphrase, BUGA Nation, constituted an NCAA violation.
According to Josh Peter of USA Today, LSU has hired attorney Bob Barton to investigate the website, which was funded by the Fournettes and Paul Price, the family's manager. Peter's report indicates the site sold memorabilia with the "BUGA Nation" phrase but did not explicitly feature Fournette. The website ceased selling the memorabilia within 24 hours of its launch, which coincided with the beginning of the 2014 season.
Fournette could be subject to a suspension if his family is found to have committed an NCAA violation.
