Their head coach can’t even read. Yet you wonder why they’re broke? Governor probably tried to buy some manic beans and voodoo hexes.

Maybe not, but your spending incompetence nearing Jay Jacobs level. Y'all should correct that

It’s politics. The LSU President, king Alexander, was positioning himself to be a part of Clinton’s staff. So he was playing the political game to do that.

You know that gif that Old Sarge loves to post of LSU fans on the SECR. That's the AD.

Everyone is willing to donate to the TAF, but no one wants to donate to the academic endowment. Everyone loves LSU sports, but everyone hates LSU. Poor slobs don't even realize you can't field a college football team without keeping the school itself open.


We hate the people running the university, specifically that jackass, F(UC)King Alexander, especially with the fake, boy-cries-wolf empty threat that LSU would close. We hate that they always have their hands out and bitching and complaining how they don't have enough money as they continuously overspend their budget year after year after year after year.

On the other hand, LSU athletics has been donating money to academic side for almost 30 years. It's a money-making enterprise, and not many athletic departments in the country can say that. Furthermore, if you have a successful athletic department, especially in football, it can spike your enrollment. Alabama is proof of that.

And while big-wigs (and LSU doesn't have the booster power other schools have) donate to TAF, the average person HAS TO DONATE because it's a surcharge on a lot of season tickets.

Your first mistake. Our athletic department is doing well.

Truth is, LSU is far from 'broke'. Instead, it is ran [sic] by incompetent people with no pride who are insistant [sic] on trashing the university image with their unceasing whining for more money. Our 'leadership' is fricking embarassing [sic].

Thanks for helping make my point for me.

And I don't think trying to grow endowments should be seen as "whining for money" while trying to grow the TAF is just 'fund raising'.

Revenue:

No. 12 Mississippi State: $35.47 million
No. 5 LSU: $85.74 million


Shouldn't the thread title be changed to why is Mississippi State so poor.

Athletics means more than Education. Researchers say that's one reason why are academics are failing in this country.

Maybe because they've become so addicted to paying alimony that they just upped the total another 3 mil.

I’ll put it in simple terms for you

Sports money is a thing

Academic money is a thing

They are not the same thing

They are separate things

One is pretty damn broke

The other is very wealthy and donates to the other annually (that means every year)
