Louisiana is an abortion of a state.

Thats not relevant
Its freakin entirely relevant...if schools are making 20+ million in FB who freakin
cares what they're spending?
A bigger issue is non P5 schools that are losing millions on CFB. Ga Stare,UAB
and MTSU have no business trying to compete in D1.

These schools spend an insane amount of money on football and it looks particularly bad for schools that are in dire straits financially like LSU.
I really know nothing about Louisiana's finances etc but this is not what the governor is saying at all in the snippet you linked.
He says nothing about cutting any funds to the football program (which I would imagine doesn't cost the school any real money and may give back more than it takes).
What he seems to be saying is that lack of funding for the school in general may cause a crisis in which classes are stopped for all students and students will not receive grades.
The threat this would cause to the football program is not that they would lose funding but that the players would not be academically eligible since classes would have been stopped and no grades given.
I do agree that he mentions the potential football effect to deliver a "shock" but says nothing about football funding.

I predict a short and ugly one term for this governor. You can get your point across without threatening a profitable enterprise that everyone loves.

Louisiana is the Vanderbilt football program of states, it takes a Herculean effort just to make the place presentable.
It's just an inherently difficult place to succeed as an elected official because it's a welfare state.

Louisiana is in the bottom five of nearly every metric used to measure a state's financial and social success. The numbers are just damning.

What would happen if a state offered no government assistance to people or businesses?

He's not threatening to shut down football, but if classes end on April 30th when LSU is officially poorer than UTk, then the players will not be eligible. This is a little more serious than football. The idiot Republican Gov Jindal destroyed the state financially.
Thank God we elected a Dem. to try to solve this complete cluster frick.
You mean you voted for Edwards? You must be on Food Stamps.

Walk into any Grocery in Louisiana and all you see are EBT cards. Stores would go out of business without Food Stamp business. Louisiana is one of those states where big swaths of the population are on the dole. Fraud is everywhere in system.

You would have voted for Vitter? You must be a neo-nazi racist misogynist woman hater.
