Shaq has a laugh about all the money LSU definitely gave him 25 years ago

It's time for one of Shaquille O'Neal's large sons to get recruited by D-I programs, and it's clear which program Shaq wants young Shareef to choose:

Shaq wants his son to play @ LSU: "You can probably get a house, you can get 2 cars. I’ll set it up for you. I know some people down there."

Full Shaq quote on his time at LSU: "Yes, they paid very well. Statute of limitations is up. I can talk about it...That’s right baby, LSU."

This is pretty much Charles Barkley strat: Wait at least four years, and preferably a lot more, then speak openly about the illegal benefits you got as a prospect. Shaq has a sense of humor about it all, but the NCAA has no sense of humor about anything and is gonna be alllllll over any LSU recruiting in the future.

I find it amusing that the author thinks the NCAA will investigate this...or anything for that matter.
