LSU estimate worth to the SEC’s television product versus the roughly equal amount LSU receives from SEC media rights.

LSU’s annual football media value: roughly $80–110 million
LSU’s current football-related share: about $32.7 million
$18.6 million listed as football media rights
$14.1 million in conference distributions
Estimated gap: approximately $47–77 million per year

LSU sacrifices its own budget, running a deficit to fund your team

Fight the good fight, comrade

Once they start personally naming you in thread titles all because you posted simple facts that hurt their feelings…

You’ll know you officially made it

When the ball guy insults me I consider that an achievement.

What is a 'ball' guy anyway? Personally I am a boob guy.

You guys


Us guys contribute about $40-60 million more to SEC media value than we received in share.

Thank you is the appropriate response.

Can we stop talking about this? 94% of Power Schools carry a deficit.

UCLA is carrying a $240M deficit over multiple years. (30-50 last year).

A lot of B1G schools in there.

Anytime your range is “x to 50% more than x” your numbers are probably bullshite.

Slapchop is worse than the Texas fans bragging about tv bullshite. But yeah, LSU is losing money.

How much of that is having all their sports teams flying to the other side of the country every other week.

What is annual football media value?

Honest question.

(It sounds like a blue light special or something)

I am familiar with annual revenue.
Annual profits/losses.
I can't recall ever seeing any organization with an annual value (and the term value automatically makes me think that they are for sale)

Louisiana legislature is telling their colleges they need to drop down a level in football to save money due to these big deficits. LSU down to G6. G6 schools back to FCS etc...

Notre Dame says to come on over. Make it to the payoffs by playing Purdue, Syracuse, Wake Forest, Illinois, Cincinnati, and a few ok games and get worshipped by the pollsters and waltz into the CFP.
