NCAA Hands Down Penalties to LSU and Memphis for Recruiting Violations.
LSU football has vacated all 37 wins from the 2012-15 seasons due to former offensive lineman Vadal Alexander competing while ineligible his entire career. Alexander's father was paid $180,150 in funds embezzled by former head of the Our Lady of the Lake Foundation John Paul Funes. LSU self-imposed the penalty in response to a notice of allegations from the NCAA. The infraction was considered a Level I violation. Former coach Les Miles' record at the school is now officially 77-34.
