re: LSU only SEC school that raises more donations for athletics than for academics

And yet, your library still leaks.

I'll admit that there are lots of buildings on campus in horrible condition, but to equate the funding of athletics to the library leaking is a bit of a stretch. There is a reason that basements aren't a common construction practice in South Louisiana (and it has nothing to do with football).

This article seems to show where the real problem is in the process to receive funding for the deferred maintenance that is required across campus. Of course it would be nice if everyone who donates to TAF would also match their donation to pay for repairs/maintenance of campus buildings, but when the joint legislative capital outlay committee repeatedly ignores the LSU Board of Regents requests for maintenance funds, you can't blame football....
