So are you upset that LSU did not go the typical PE route?
It's hard to tell what you are so angry about.

He's mad he's getting repeatedly called out for having a tenuous understanding of the topic.

Reading comprehension. From my OP:
That frustration extends to the latest permutation: mortgaging the long-term promise of an athletics program (LSU in this case) to simply pay off the short-sighted irresponsible decisions of the present.
Which is something you’d think all CFB fans would get behind. And why it’s so idiotic LSU people would be supporting it.
But ride or die with your team colors, I guess.

[I’m] aggravated how stupid the folks in charge of college football are, so I’m clearing things up.
That way, when you hear comments from Tiger Athletic Foundation President Matt Borman, or retard booster—and somehow President of the Southern Regional Medical Center—Charles Harvey, you can properly interpret what they’re saying to be lies, deflection, and bullshite that you should immediately distrust.

Imagine being this concerned about another program’s dealings. 
I couldn’t care less what another university is doing. You don’t have a clue what’s actually going on behind the scenes at LSU.

Basically, to sum it all up, you read a rumor, made some assumptions, jumped to some conclusions, and have now successfully rage baited yourself for absolutely no reason at all.

Yes.
You are definitely not the one who is mad here, it is definitely everyone else.
For sure.

Glad to see you’re a fan of destroying college football supporting your school’s profligate and whore-mongering leadership. Did you learn that from your trial practice, or do you lead by example?

First, “private equity” is a boogeyman that no longer exists: • Corporate activist investors that would strip companies of assets and employees to pay down large borrowings of debt have been gone for 35 years • Greedy PE owners that would mortgage a company to heedlessly make bets and walk away if things went south haven’t been around in 15, nearly 20 years.
False and stopped reading

I mean, if it took you 5 pages to see the OP was a very erudite and controlled melt, which I then proceeded to explain to many in pedantic detail at their respective remedial levels, I’m not sure there is a smart pill for you for that.
Sidewalk, why does Gov. Landry, Ausberry, and Woodward’s irresponsible and dishonest dealings not piss you off? Not only is it bad for CFB, it’s your own program—indeed, fans like you—that suffers most.

Which dishonest dealings are you specifically referring to?

If you want to see how PE works in sports, look at Manchester United.
The Glazers took control and loaded
the organization with debt to pay themselves back for the purchase price
and then some.
