re: Alabama looks to be pulling away

What can’t be argued is that both schools have absorbed potentially devastating budget cuts over the past several years. While LSU is trying to hold onto what it had before the economy went south five years ago, Alabama prospered during the economic downturn, gaining momentum as the university increased the quality and quantity of its students and faculty.

I need to see proof that Bama had the same cuts that LSU had....I mean LSU has seen worse cuts in the last 3 years than they ever have before...EVER.

However.....if Bama has improved at all over the same course of time then they are doing a helluva lot better in that department. LSU upper brass has yet to come to the realization that the cuts are a part of life. Instead of bitching about them they should find a way to be great with what they have. I'm not sure if that means more online offerings, less brick and mortar, less tenured profs that don't add value, or what....but whatever it is LSU clearly hasn't found it.
