So he doesn't report to anybody? That could raise some flags. Maybe that's why Aleva sucked?

How many people buy tickets to watch a classroom?

I’m sure he reports to a BOR of some sorts for the TAF but the TAF is a completely private entity that works in partnership but not under the university (that’s my understanding anyway which could be off)
I believe Florida, FSU, and other schools have similar arrangements. It’s actually pretty common nowadays for a multitude of reasons (tax, plausible deniability when shite goes wrong, etc)

NCAA doesn’t dictate how a school arranges or supports it’s athletic department or students, only that they comply with the agreed upon rules. It’s actually a smart way of doing it but obviously poses some risks if you don’t have people in charge with accountability or skill at the job.
LSU has actually just presented a good reason to have one; in this day and age of athletics as huge money makers, it can allow an athletic department to freely fund a university or it can protect the athletic department as a business from a university that is doing exactly what LSU has been doing in overreaching

The LSU Athletics Dept is a division of the university. IT is not a separate entity. It is under the control of the university and not TAF. Our AD is really the Vice Chancellor in charge of athletics and his boss is the Chancellor and the Board of Supervisors. Athletics will continue to give $$$ to the university budget but it probably wont be $10-12 million a year. It will probably be in the neighborhood of $5-6 million a year.
The bottom line is that Woodward can recommend and campaign for whatever he thinks best, BUT he cannot make a decision of where that money goes if his bosses think otherwise.

The LSU president (chancellor, whatever) can fire the athletics director, if he chose to do so, at any time.

LOL what a false click bait thread title. Clearly not the reason.

He’d be firing himself

That doesn't sound like a good thing. I doubt it is as true as you think either, which is a good thing.

Saying his word is law is an overstatement, but he has a LOT of political capital.

Chancellor is different from a president or provost.
By comparison, Georgia has a University System with a Governor appointed Board of Regents that oversees the UGA President who in turn oversees the Athletic Director
My understanding is the Woodward is directly under the Chancellor (comparable to the head of the USG BOR), separate from the University President

fascinating. Seriously.
I'd love to pour some of elposter's PVW and listen to stories about this

That's true, the board can, in turn, fire the chancellor (I think y'all call the head of single campuses "chancellor" and the head of the system "president," but I think the head Baton Rouge administrator is both).

Dont think he can, I believe as seperate entities the head of the university and the head of athletics report to the board, not one to another. The board makes the hiring/firings official.

Does anyone think that this will free up money for Our Lady of the Lake nun’s hospital dedicated to care care of children with cancer?
Or perhaps the $10 mil can go to “Our Lady of the Slush Fund hospital run by bums dedicated to the care of 300lb “kids” who only want a fair opportunity to get a college education normally denied to them by whatever?

You do realize that there are very few schools in The country that have an Athletic Program donating money to Academics, right?

I think we need a “University Reporting Lines” thread so we can make heads or tails of who the frick does what and to whom they answer to
Posted on 7/29/19 at 3:32 pm to Hugh McElroy
Dumb thread but I'll give you an example of what this is about. A homeless person walked up to my car a couple of weeks ago and asked for money. I said I'll give you what I have and handed him 3 quarters from my tray. He made this bitchy face and said "Pftttt" as he walked off. I yelled "if its not enough then give it back a-hole."
