LSU coach Brian Kelly said putting QR codes on helmets “just doesn’t feel collegiate for me,” Wednesday on the SEC teleconference.
Last week, Oklahoma State announced it would use QR codes on its helmets which will direct fans to the general name, image and likeness fund for the team.
Kelly and other coaches on the teleconference were asked about the Cowboys’ initiative and whether they thought the idea would spread.
“For us, we can keep NIL off the field,” Kelly said. “I think we can generate the things that we need here at LSU separate from the game-day atmosphere, the collegiate kind of feel that you have.
“This is just my personal feeling, putting a QR code on your helmet just doesn’t feel collegiate for me. As much as we can continue to keep this game when the band and college-aged kids playing the game (we should). I get it, right? NIL is here to stay and that’s great, but I think we can be separate from that and still, at the end of the game, go to work on NIL.”

The Oklahoma State football team will wear stickers with a QR code that links to the team’s general fund for name, image and likeness donations, which benefit every player on the roster.
OSU is believed to be the first program to use QR codes on its uniform.
