Several years ago (Tubverville was Auburn's coach) the state of Alabama threatened to shut down high school football over financial concerns.

It was just a threat to get new taxes passed.

The taxes passed and football was saved.

I would love to see a State call a governor's bluff and say no to the taxes.

1. ^ This guy gets it.
2. The people in here talking about LSU shutting down the athletic program to save money are terribly uninformed. LSU athletics GIVES MONEY BACK TO THE UNIVERSITY ANNUALLY.
3. Anyone who believes the state would shut down the entire system is a special kind of stupid. The smaller state schools would be the first to go.
