Yeah, sorry Ed but this is a dumb hot take. Celebs (esp former players) are on the sidelines all the time. A school can't be faulted for presuming celebs won't be handing out wads of cash. Never saw McConaughey do it in Austin, or Herschel Walker at Georgia or any of 5000 other celebs milling about sidelines with empty pockets.
Burrow also seemed to think he was off the hot seat because he was "no longer a student athlete."
But what year is it in Baton Rouge that some spokesperson volunteered that "it was fake money" when that was clearly a lie, and thought that would be the end of it with no possible leaks or further investigation? It's almost like that person is used to dealing only with diehard loyal local media and expected the same "take it to the grave" treatment with the national media as well.
My favorite though is the Richard Jewell type security guard who threatened to kick the LSU players out of the stadium for smoking celebratory cigars after completing one of the greatest undefeated CFB seasons in history. Know when to pick your battles, man.
