Households in any state do not make that much of a difference in a program. It is the boosters and LSU has that now. The LSU of old is no more as far as boosters.
As far as culture, coaches pay is based off of SEC culture and National averages not which state you live in
That is absurd
As far as Miles being over paid, at some point he had a clause in his contract that if he wins a NC he would make 1$ more a year than Saban. It is his own fault he has not gotten a raise

Ahhhhh but they do. They really do. Local politics shapes college football.
For example, those B1G teams make more money than any college football programs thanks to their network. Yet Wincy has let their coach get stolen twice in a short period.
Why?
Because it is politically impossible for their AD to pay a coach $4 million plus a year in a Yankee liberal state like that. If they try then local politicians will be invited to step in to correct the "misplaced priorities" and soon Wincy is handcuffed on how it operates.
It has been a while since I lived in Louisiana, but back when I was there it certainly had a Blue State mentality. I know that for a while the Saints almost were lost because basically the voters didn't think a team created for entertainment needed a subsidy when so many teachers, firefighters, police officers and other state workers were underpaid.
In Texas there is none of that. If someone makes X amount of money they earned it period. The culture doesn't allow for second guessing if someone earned what they have. That allows us to pay more than anyone.
At the end of the day most major ADs are full of cash and could spend WAY more than they do. They hold back, when they hold back, because of politics.
So household income could very well matter if you have an entitled and poor population that doesn't like seeing other people be successful. I don't know if that is the case, but it could be and it would explain how ANY Tiger fan feels Les hasn't earned his money.
