Agreed, but do think their metric is flawed. Florida is ranked higher than Texas on Forbes ranking of universities and consistently ranks higher as an athletic program.

Most of these other schools have the same number of smaller schools as well. Why is it not a drain on them. And before you think I'm bashing Louisiana I've lived her all my life I just don't agree that the smaller schools are the problem.
I'll admit, I compiled a list to see if you were right or wrong. Turns out, you were mostly right. Louisiana funds 1 more comprehensive university, 1 more 2-yr college, and 2 medical campuses. I guess SOME of those funds could go to other schools like LSU and make a difference.
So, since the "so many small schools" complaint is not the answer to LSU's funding problems, I wonder what is. UA seems to have found a solution for funding in accepting tons of out-of-state students (72% in-state students to 36% between 2004 and 2014, source link). That's a ton of out-of-state tuition flowing in presumably.

It's both athletics and academics, read the article or the thread title. Anyway, LSU offers better degrees than florida or georgia in certain areas. Overall, no LSU doesnt, but in some criteria LSU definitely does.

Whats funny is youre acting like a degree from LSU is worthless or something. Grow up.
Aren't yall an A&M college? Yet you're students aren't allowed to build bonfires anymore because one of them collapsed and killed people? Not making a joke about what happened because it's not funny, I'm just saying, you would expect that the people building and inspecting these structures at an A&M school should know when something is structurally unstable and unsafe.
Not to mention, your campus looks like it should be in Pyongyang or moscow. You're stadium looks retarded too. Who builds the biggest deck of their stadium in the frickin endzone? Then has triple decks on the sidelines? Wtf?
