Selling boosters to pony up tens of millions of dollars isn't something anyone could do. It's not as simple as just writing big checks. You have to grease a lot of wheels to get things done, especially at a public University. That's where Woodward's past experience as a lobbyist and running a PR firm for fortune 500 companies helps him as an AD. If it was just writing big checks, LSU wouldn't have ended up with Ed Orgeron and you wouldn't see programs like Texas hiring Charlie Strong and Steve Sarkisian...or Tennessee hiring any of the coaches they have since they fired Fulmer.

Meh.Every big school AD gets big time boosters to pony up funds.Its like selling
cigarettes to inmates.

I'm still very curious as to who exactly is cutting the checks and for how much.

LSU athletics lost $80 million due
to Covid they keep spending money like they're printing it.

Highest paid WBB coach
Highest paid baseball coach
2nd highest aid FB coach.

This on top of owing coach O & company $30 million.

You might have some generous donors but I doubt they're more "generous" than A&M,Bama,UT,UGA or
UF boosters.

Let's also not forget you have the
Highest annual debt service (as a percentage of revenue) in the SEC.

I'd love to see those books.
