The Storm is in Seattle for those like me that had no idea.

Hope she is happy there.

With the amount of drinking it takes to watch this team I'm lucky I can sit in my chair.

They would ask for clarification on if they would still get paid.

The frustration has nothing to do with not winning a championship or even the record, it is the state of the team and the inexcusably bad play. Someone else started a thread about it is not losing but how they are losing and it was spot on.

Even $$ is not an excuse, these guys have been playing BB almost their whole lives and they can't even handle the basics. It is infuriating and baffling.

I can’t imagine what it’s like to move far away from home at that age while facing the pressure of trying to live up to a $3.5 million paycheck. No one can understand what that’s like unless you’ve been in that situation (which is why it’s ridiculous for anyone who hasn’t been in that situation to tell an athlete how they should or shouldn’t handle things).

JFC this shite makes me heated. These poor athletes. Men younger than them have been sent to sacrifice and die for their country but we are supposed to feel sorry for a spoiled athlete that has everything handed to them and every obstacle at school removed. How soft is this guy?

Ai summary below:

In this exclusive interview, LSU Athletic Director Verge Ausberry discusses the future of LSU Athletics four months into his tenure. He emphasizes the importance of institutional alignment, financial sustainability, and transparency in managing a modern athletic department.

Key Takeaways:

Financial Strategy & Revenue Sharing: A primary focus is navigating the new $20.5 million revenue-sharing model (10:49-11:18). Ausberry explains that LSU is being proactive by realigning staff to focus on sport-specific fundraising and managing resources to support both revenue-generating and non-revenue sports (3:31-4:03, 28:21-29:15).

Coaching Staff Stability: With the high-profile hires of Will Wade (men's basketball) and Lane Kiffin (football), Ausberry confirms that the major sports programs have stable leadership and long-term support (1:36-2:00, 24:56-25:34).

New Arena Project: The proposed $400 million arena in Baton Rouge is moving forward as a public-private partnership. Ausberry anticipates further progress and potential updates in about three months, noting that it will serve as a "front porch" for the university (7:20-8:50, 10:26-10:33).

Football Outlook: Ausberry remains optimistic about LSU football’s ability to compete for a College Football Playoff berth. He highlights the importance of building a strong team culture, maintaining consistency in the coaching staff (such as the defensive staff), and improving the roster through a mix of veteran core players and strategic additions (33:05-35:25).

Commitment to Excellence: The department is focused on being elite in football and men's basketball while leveraging the national brand power of coaches like Kim Mulkey (women's basketball) and Jay Johnson (baseball) to drive overall institutional success (15:08-17:28).

Place will be on fire one way or another.

I'm still hoping they pay her.

I really liked Bella and was looking forward to her develop but the last thing we need is drama. I trust CKM on whether she should be "welcomed back".

I have a feeling some bridges have been burnt with the videos, player interviews etc. just taking place and everyone expecting her to stay.
