Exactly, his fear mongering act has created this shite show. Really absurd.

Dumbass, read what you linked
“The public at large really doesn’t differentiate where the money comes from,” he says. “No matter how you explain it, it’s still a $15 million to $25 million decision that needs to be factored into the overall equation.”
Get some common sense you fricking tard. LSU wasn't paying the buyout, private funds were raised to do so. He said as much with this statement.
Again, read the article and try to comprehend what it's saying before you make yourself look stupid next time.

That's literally how liberals minds work. Their entire worldview is based on the idea that the average person isn't as well qualified to make decisions about their own life as hey are. God damn it I can't stand this fricker F King. I am melting. frick.

Les earned one more year, and throwing away money when you're telling folks you need more from the taxpayers? Well that's not smart, and he's right.
But the President has poor-mouthed for so long and used his scare tactics to make the public think LSU is in financial crisis the "He" couldn't take a hit to his ego if he allowed the $20mm coaching change to transpire. His political agenda would be crushed if the LSU "athletic supporters" were willing pony up $20mill to fire the programs most successful coach while he's been claiming the academics are in the poor house.

You literally said the guy asking for more money from the taxpayers couldn't "throw money away".
You're a fricking moron.

Maybe if he were the coach at TAMU. He didn't keep his job because of this season. That's pretty clear.

Millionaires are allowed to do whatever they want with their money. LSU AD donates millions to the university. Guess who else donates to that?

I pointed out EXACTLY what is in the article
I didn't say the academic side of LSU was "throwing the money away"
But his political position in having to wrangle with the state to maintain funding during these hard economic times in LA, would be damaged by 20 million being spent (whether for or by the university doesn't matter). on a coaching change regardless of who spent it
Quit trying to be outraged by truthful statements, dumbass

No one said they aren't. But it is absurd to not see how the perception of that kind of money being spent "on behalf" of LSU to fire it's coach could damage LSU's position with some legislators.

1 press conference post-coaching change to explain the money came 100% from private donors would have helped tremendously save the University from poor public perception.
1 press conference. Saying "A few rich guys not officially associated with the university paid for all of this and LSU has spent $0"

So the reports were true
It's sad when you let perception as oppose to reality dictate the choices you make. Politics are the bane of this society.

Simple counter argument would be that these donors create the opportunity for LSU athletics to generate so much revenue, which in turn creates the opportunity for the AD to donate millions per year to the school. LSU is very unique in this sense. The AD and the school rely heavily on LSU football and LSU football relies on donors. Let them do what they want so that the school can keep getting money from the AD.
Louisiana politics is why the school is having financial problems. It has nothing to do with football.

Yes, you did. Now you're just backtracking because it was an ignorant post.
"throwing away money when you're telling folks you need more from the taxpayers?"

You make yourself look like a fool daily in LSU threads. You're going above and beyond your normally idiocy in this one though. You made a stupid and uninformed statement and got called out for it. Let it go.

Legislators would not be able to use this against the University when there would be a clear paper trail created to prove that LSU did not spend a dime on the buyout.
Furthermore, there were reports that the TAF would even fund the salary of a new coach if it were more than Les' current salary.
So, all-in-all the university was losing nothing on this deal.

The state of Louisiana gives LSU over 105 million
The athletic department gives back to the university a surplus of around 10 million, it is even arguable that that surplus may not have existed this year had so much private donation money been shifted to the coaching change.

Not to mention the first way to lose big booster money is to tell them where they can and can't donate.

Why didn't the LSU Board of Supervisors, Joe Alleva, and King Alexander think of this weeks before their half-time meeting last Saturday night?
