Number one portal class in football and baseball, 20 million dollar basketball NIL budget…but apparently our donors are unaware this upcoming athletic season in fact not the last athletic season and we are out of money


You’re spending a quarter billion dollars a year on athletics when your university endowment is only 3x that number.
This will not end well for you.

And? That isn’t unique to Louisiana and it certainly isn’t unique to Louisiana politics

I mean it’s not like they fired a head coach, paid him to leave, and later rehired the same coach.

In two different sports.

Our university endowment has absolutely nothing to do with the athletic department’s budget or the people who strictly give to athletics. Whatever keeps you sane while LSU signs better classes in the big 3 every single year over Ole Miss

Your governor is literally setting up a gofundme for the athletic department as we speak and you think finances aren’t a concern

Yawn. LSU will never be Texas rich but Alabama and Ole Miss fans scoffing are a laugh riot. Kalen Deboer is on the streets holding out a tin cup these days.

For just $20 a day you too can feed a hungry LSU athlete.

Ole piss has been taking out loans to pay for their NIL. It’s not a secret either.

There's more old money in Texas and Louisiana than most other states.

Isn’t the UT system currently offering voluntary severance for employees before they make layoffs?

Every school is doing something to deal with revenue share. This just happened to leak to Dellenger, and he ran with it because LSU will get clicks.
The idiots are trolling in this thread because they are idiots, and because it’s LSU, but their own school is also finagling its finances.

Wade-yeah, you got us.

Orgeron’s salary is $100k, and he’s a fricking analyst.

That is how pretty much everyone who went bankrupt has done...just because you spend money does not mean you have it...

Louisiana might want to focus on paving their roads and having decent schools before having the governor waste his time micro managing the football program of a single state college.
