LSU student-athlete cleared by College Sports Commission after investigation into NIL non-reporting

The unnamed LSU student-athlete investigated by the College Sports Commission for non-reporting of third-party NIL deals will not face disciplinary action, the school confirmed on Monday.

“The CSC inquiry into non-reporting has been resolved with no disciplinary action, and any deals that require submission to NIL Go have been submitted. We appreciate the CSC’s prompt review and resolution,” LSU deputy AD for external affairs Zach Greenwell said in a statement.

The CSC, an NIL enforcement entity that oversees revenue-sharing in college sports, said Monday it had informed several schools of investigations regarding unreported NIL deals.

Student-athletes must report third-party NIL deals exceeding $600 through NIL Go, the clearinghouse introduced alongside the landmark $2.8 billion settlement approved in early June.

LSU confirmed at least one of its athletes was being investigated at the time. A person with direct knowledge of the situation said Monday it was not a football player and not a department-wide investigation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither LSU nor the CSC had released details on the investigation.

A growing number of college professors say they are turning to oral exams, and combining a variety of old-fashioned and cutting-edge techniques, to help address a crisis in higher education. “You won’t be able to AI your way through an oral exam,” says Schaffer, who introduced the oral defense last semester.
