How much of this soap opera is being fueled by private equity?

I would assume the real football/athletics focused individuals on both sides would prefer this to be just a football game, but how much of the drama is being stoked by the private equity investment as a publicity stunt to “grow the LSU brand”? Seems to me both sides are being played as useful idiots to make short-term money for somebody .

It's not that deep. Kiffin goes to bed giggling about all the talk about him.

If this was their plan to "grow the brand" then they're more strategically inept than most PE firms.

Everyone is milking this cow right now. ESPN is milking the hell out of it. Ole Miss and LSU are both milking it. The businesses in Oxford are milking it. I'm sure private equity firms are also milking it as well.

The Louisiana politicians are also to blame. Any attention is good attention.

And that's why I never believed for a second the SEC was actually going to suspend Kiffin for this game. There is waaaayyyyyyyyy too much money on the line here.

It is odd that something new happens with LSU / Ole Miss every day.

I never thought that was on the table, to be honest.

And what would Mississippi politicians be doing if the roles were reversed. Come on man

So Louisiana politicians and LSU PE firms have direct control over Oxford and Ole Miss as well as their residents.
That tracks.
That tracks.

If so, they're killing the golden goose. The die hards I know irl from all fan bases are losing interest due to all the antics in the sport. Those are the guys who actually buy gear and attend games and have expensive streaming packages, rather than the casuals who might watch a youtube video sometimes.

Yes, that’s why LSU has been on Game Day twice in the first three weeks of the season.
LMAO!
Can’t wait to see the ratings numbers from this weekend.

Yep, then when kiffin gets a golf ball bounced off his noggin' they will all react in horror and say it is despicable that a game should come to violence.
If Ole Miss was smart they would pay women and minorities to start all the trouble and call it a protest and watch all the talking heads explode.
