Can LSU continue to spend 50+ million every year on the roster?

I'm genuinely curious how long it can continue. Alabama definitely does not have that kind of money.

That's a lot of money for 8-4 results.

I don't think they spent $50M+ on the roster, I bet Alabama and LSU's total spend was a lot closer than most would think.

As for your original question, I don't think they'll spend that every year. They had to reach on a lot of guys this year because they didn't know the roster. Also, you'll probably want to bring in more like 40 guys per cycle going forward, not 60.

Something like 95% of the class had 2 years of eligibility remaining so we'll see some dead weight cut in the offseason and some supplemental adds made to the core of the returnees.

I think Lane has to produce hugely next year (title game appearance) or a lot of that money starts drying up. Some of those mega donors don't really have strong connections to LSU, right?

Probably. There’s lots of hospitals in Louisiana to steal from. Lol
