LSU is investigating whether the Odell Beckham Jr. gave real money to players after his alma mater's victory in the National Championship Game on Monday, according to associate athletic director Robert Munson.
The investigation is being conducted after the university initially claimed that the money was fake.
After LSU defeated Clemson 42-25, Beckham was seen handing out cash to junior defensive back Jontre Kirklin and junior receiver Justin Jefferson, whose brothers played with Beckham at LSU.
Jefferson caught nine passes for 106 years in the game. Kirklin notched a tackle.
