Not that you care about nor deal in truth, but your comment is blatantly false.

LSU Football revenues easily cover all expenses and additionally cover the shortfall from other sports, including Title IX, that don’t operate in the black and also contributes money to support academics.

Actual successful university sports programs like University of Texas, Alabama and LSU are top 10 ranked nationally in generation of sports revenues. A&M not so much. LSU is a like a business that operates in the black while A&M is like a company that loses money but stays afloat because owners keep contributing good money after bad.

Even better question. How many wins over LSU?

LSU's money problems are well known. You're speaking in false platitudes and generalities that don't actually apply to LSU anymore.

As you hopefully aren’t so ignorant to not already know, LSU Football revenue problems are non existent and LSU revenues dwarf those of A&M. You are simply talking out of your backside as you usually do. LSU Athletics’ financial success ranks top 10 nationally. You should know these rankings since the school who’s long made A&M most insecure, the University of Texas Athletics Program, is ranked #1 in the nation in revenues.

Why can’t Aggies stop being so insecure and constantly trying to childishly follow around UT for decades and more recently LSU desperately looking for a rivalry and any sort of attention?

- LSU was unwilling to meet his ridiculous demands

- FSU was willing to renegotiate


Neither was true this time around. FSU called his bluff, and he painted himself into a corner. Even his own players told him to get lost.

I cringe when I see one of y’all post this like it had ANY bearing on the decision Jimbo made.


Memorial Hermann is like a 20 min copter ride from College Station and is ranked either 1st or 2nd in the US for children's health.

Jimbo doesn't recruit the offensive line which will be his quick demise at A&M. Francois' injury wasn't a fluke.

Then you are that ignorant - or just delusional - after all if you insist on denying that LSU Athletic Revenues do not rank top 10 nationally.

Not when it comes to athletics. LSU has money in that dept. They’re getting ready to start a $30 million renovation to the football ops center. $4 million is being spent to upgrade every tv in all 3 on campus veneues. Money is not an issue when it comes to LSU athletics.

If the guy is too stupid/lazy to do his own due diligence then just let him continue living in fantasy land. That's his prerogative.

Jimbo fisher isn't worth 75 mil over 10 years. That's just crazy. The guy is just coming off of a 5-6 season as well, with all of that talent on fsus roster too. Texas am simply doesn't realize that they are the little brother in texas and that is, and always has been, their problem. They tried to run away from home by moving to the sec, instead, they got 3 new stepfathers. Bama, lsu, and auburn are their new fathers. Jimbo fisher isn't going to change that. I believe he will win 8 or 9 games a year and be an improvement over sumlin, but he won't win a national title there. They simply aren't the program that they believe they are, and idk why they would believe theyre elite to start with. They have never won a damn thing, in the big 12 or the sec. Jimbo is raping the aggys with that contract, then again, we all know the aggys like getting butt raped.

And LSU said no.


However, NOLA.com reported that LSU did offer him $6.8 Million a year. It did not say for how many years, though.
