Earl May Have Violated Louisiana Law
Kansas basketball player Lester Earl might have broken the law by signing documents at Louisiana State University stating there were no irregularities in his recruitment there, according to Doug Moreau, East Baton Rouge (La.) Parish district attorney.
The NCAA has filed 10 allegations against LSU, among them that Earl accepted $6,600 in cash from an assistant coach and that LSU improperly helped some of Earl’s relatives find jobs.
Moreau said filing a false document could amount to filing a false public record, which is a violation of state law.
