Isn’t this simply a bandaid? If they’re operating at an annual 8 figure deficit, $100,000,000 isn’t going to go very far, particularly when you consider that deficit will only be larger with this cutting future media-rights revenue
Yes.

With a 9-game conference schedule and the highest ratings ever in the 1st year of the ABC deal, the next media contract will be massive.
It will also be a long long ways off (great negotiating there Sankey).

Imagine giving it all up just to somehow afford a coach who's never won an SEC title. Wild.

LSU... the Red Lobster of college football.
I wonder if 'all you can eat corndogs' would convince more LSU fans to fork over more money?

I hope it isn't true and won't panic yet until something more reputable comes along reporting it.
I would assume they are just selling LSU's interest in the media rights, not actually an interest in LSU itself.
Perhaps it's current media rights, which would expire under a different contract with ESPN? No clue how much the current media rights are worth though.
