LSU Donors footing $40,000 bill

Lulz, you fools going to go broke.

quote:

The nearly $40,000 tab for the trip was paid by the Tiger Athletic Foundation in March, though the report does not detail when the trip occurred or how long it was.


quote:

The documents show the Tiger Athletic Foundation, a private entity that raises money for LSU athletics, also spent nearly $65,000 for four other private plane trips for business purposes, for Kiffin from January-March of this year. Kiffin’s ex-wife, Layla, children and nephew accompanied him for several of these business trips, which included recruiting visits and attending the Texas Bowl in December.

I'm pretty sure LSU wouldn't have included it in his contract if they weren't willing and able to pay it. LSU is paying tens upon tens of millions of dollars in buyouts, I don't think LSU is going to go broke from a few $40,000 plane bills here and there.

Most big time college football head coaches contracts specify the # of hours the coach can use the jet for personal use each year.

40 grand for Florida? Pretty sure you could go to Europe for that cash.

All of your coaches have private plane allowances under their contracts. Well ... maybe not UK, because your football program is dog shite. But everyone else does. Y'all are really reaching ... but carry on.

There’s an article linked in OP’s article that says Alabama spent the most on private jets last year. 1.235 million.

ETA that is the most of the 50 schools who responded to the FOIA request

ETA2: UK is 7th on that list nice self-own OP LINK

Was that the week leading up to the Kentucky game? Didn’t he go on a bender chasing tail that week thinking he could just show up on Saturday and beat Kentucky?

Who is paying Mark Pope’s salary to go on family vacations and ruin what’s left of Kentucky basketball’s legacy?

Funny that we didn’t hear a peep about it until December 2025

Obviously very problematic for Ole Miss admins, fanbase and donors.

Recruiting. On the west coast. Recruiting is something Arkansas might want to consider for their football program.

Of course you can, but if they were going to Boca Raton, why not use the perk if it's at his disposal?
