Overview
- LSU said the College Sports Commission inquiry into potential non-reporting of NIL deals has been closed with no disciplinary action and that any required transactions have been submitted to NIL Go.
- The CSC previously confirmed it had contacted several schools about possible unreported NIL agreements, with LSU among those acknowledging communication and cooperation.
- LSU confirmed at least one Tigers athlete was included in the inquiry, and a person with direct knowledge told the Associated Press the matter was not department-wide and did not involve football.
- Student-athletes must report third-party NIL payments over $600 through NIL Go under the roughly $2.8 billion settlement that created the CSC as an enforcement entity separate from the NCAA.
- Reporter Ross Dellenger noted that multiple programs received similar letters in recent weeks with many cases already resolved, aligning with LSU’s earlier expectation of a quick outcome.
