Did LSU really sell 10% of their football revenue forever for 100 million? Why?

Good deal? It was a GREAT deal.



















For the guys who put a tire around the LSU athletics brand for $100 mil.

IF it’s true then they really are out of money, but I suspect other teams will be as well

Yes. The governor also plans to coach the team this year. Kiffin is pissed and already making plans to go back to Ole Miss.

Ole Miss fans would be performing gymnastics trying to explain away how he’s actually a better coach than Playoff Pete and they didn’t really mean what they said before

From the available information, it’s an LLC to be comprised of LSU’s own donors and patrons. It’s about managing investments in new revenue streams. No deal has even been signed and it requires more research with tax attorneys, etc.

The OP is talking out of his arse because he knows nothing.
He thinks he smells something bad for LSU but it’s just his own putrid Aggie odor.

What motivates ignorant people (like the OP) to make up such ridiculous stories?

They need attention.

They come here and post something stupid so they can feel like they did something because people responded.

As lsu fans do gymnastics explaining why Pete is actually a terrible coach and had nothing to do with Ole Miss playoff success.

Pete Golding had as much to do with Ole Miss’s playoff success as Frank Wilson had to do with the rest of LSU’s collapse when he took over last year.

Both teams were already established in their success and failure by the time the coaching changes occurred.

This is not a troll but rather rational explanation.

Between revenue share and the umpteen number of sports a major U has the once profitable programs are seeing the profit from that revenue drop significantly.

This is not private equity Gordon Gekko style but big boosters forming a collaborative for an immediate cash infusion. Details have not been finalized by any stretch of the imagination. You will see more things come up as revenue share starts eating more of the AD pie.

Nothing has been finalized yet. There is going to be a valuation of the program. The plan is to take the 100 million plus a percentage of the 72 million a year SEc money per year to invest. Use the gains to fund a portion of NIL. The donor base for most schools are going to get fatigued at some point. LSU is trying to get ahead of that problem.

Your coonass governor is selling the state university’s future revenue streams to boosters?

That’s Louisiana as frick.
Kingfish would be proud.

It wasn't a loan. It was a strategic partnership. Why is this so hard?

Anyone could have beat Tulane
He did UGA but that was Triidad Chamblis going god mode at the end of the game. That was not a very good uga team by uga standards.
Pete has a everything he asked for and an Oxford judge could give him let's see what he does w/ it
