None of your statements really seem to hold water.
So LSU hasn't done ridiculous upgrades to the extent of pimping out the athlete facilities cause they were already bringing in top 5 classes? Football powers know it's an arms race you better stay in front of and FSU was cheap to the bone.
Jimbo pushed for massive infrastructure improvements for locker rooms and strength and conditioning facilities. He demanded an indoor practice facility that many of the folks writing the checks at Florida State thought wasn't worth the investment. In short, Fisher's tried to inject new life into a moribund program and brought Florida State back to relevancy on the national stage.
Exactly what coach Saban immediately did when he coached LSU and Les Miles and Eddie continued on their watch.

The renovations at LSU started before Saban was hired. The first big expansion to Tiger Stadium broke ground before the 1999 season (adding another upper deck), and we already had an indoor facility that was top notch compared to others at the time. What Saban got done was new football offices built and a greater yearly financial commitment to his staff, recruiting budget, etc. The majority of facility improvements, however, occurred before he got there and under Miles.
I don't disagree with the point of your post, but just clarifying what went on at LSU
