LSU fans are arguing that this is just modern college football, ignoring the fact that the reason they are having to even consider selling part of the athletic department is that they went on a drunken bender and spent $200 million they didn’t have. Now they are out of money, their credit cards are maxed out, and they have borrowed all they can from friends. That got them through last month. Now they are trying to figure out how to pay next month’s rent and bills.

But don’t worry, now the governor is involved.

If this were happening at Ole Miss, Alabama, Missouri or Texas A&M the first page would be covered in threads started by LSU fans ridiculing the school and their fans for being poor and desperate.

I am not so broke that I am having to consider a private equity deal, so I’ve got that going for me.

“Womp womp” and adjusted efficiency rankings are your new winning percentage.

I can’t wait to see what your next compulsion is.

That’s not remotely close what this would be like. Wherever you went to school failed you.


You seem to be struggling with reading and comprehension.

Jersey patches aren't the same as private equity getting involved.

The reaction to it here is exactly the same.

It's just the MO of this board. We've moved the goalposts from "LSU is selling 10% of its future media revenue" to "LSU is possibly considering privatizing its concessions".

It's hilarious.

i think it’s structured like a PE deal but the investors are the boosters who are already throwing money at the programs


If you think this is just an LSU problem you’re fooling yourself. NIL is out of hand and it won’t be long before boosters are tired of feeding exponentially more money into a machine with literally 0% return.

We all called this when NIL happened.

All of these same things were said and now the rest of you are lining up to sign your patch deal.


The SEC programs who have signed a jersey deal.

quote:

SEC

Arkansas and Tyson Foods: As part of this multi-year jersey patch agreement—which includes placement on the uniforms of all 19 men's and women's varsity Razorback teams—the Arkansas-based food production giant will also serve as the school's "official protein partner." While the deal's terms have not been made public, Tyson Foods chairman John Tyson refuted reports of a $100 million valuation earlier this year.

LSU and Woodside Energy: First reported by FOS in 2025, before patch deals were even approved by the NCAA, this multi-year, multimillion dollar pairing was made official in February, making it the first major deal of the jersey patch era. Woodside Energy's logo will feature on the uniforms of all 21 LSU athletic programs.


2 of 16.

Comprehensive List of Jersey Deals as of 7/28/26

LSU will get to go down as the first school to ever do it.

Just off the top of my head, Vanderbilt announced one just the other day. Don't worry, yours is on the way.

For sure not just an LSU problem.

Most AD run on pretty thin margins and they’re about to give a huge chunk of their revenue to their players.

On one side there are multiple news agencies - some very sketchy; some very well established, including some in Louisiana with ties to LSU - who have reported LSU has worked out a funding deal that is similar to a private equity deal. The privatizing of concessions is an additional new wrinkle and would be the cherry on top of this shite sundae.

On the other side you have Matt Moscona, SidewalkTiger, and other LSU Ranters saying the news reports are wrong.

All based on the RedEye report. Please link to any standalone, reputable report that isn't.

Also multiple boosters in the meeting.

For sure, Alabama can't even afford to buy a full recruiting class this year.

Well I guess No Colors has one color...racism (Yes, Jews are a race in your context because you grouped them based on a physical trait; don't be lazy and just accept the incorrect Google AI answer - as Google AI often is)

That makes sense. LSU, Arkansas, and Vanderbilt are all baseball schools.
