The state may be broke, but the boosters at LSU have plenty of money.

They Poor

LSU is

still paying Les Miles' full salary,
gave Coach O a 12 million buyout on his contract and will fire him within 18 months and
paying a DC over $2 million a year.


Dang, they just keep digging that hole deeper and deeper.

---

It's a good thing they can't add in that state. (or spell)

Think we can make them pay their DC more than their HC?

We got them to waste more money that they don't have.

Joke is on them.

They just wanted him more, no big deal

But don't act like we only went after him to raise his salary at LSU

---

Oh, I agree. They want him more than coach O probably. If he leaves they are in really bad shape. I don't blame us one bit for not paying more than 2.5M.

I would like to have listened to the conversation when Aranda's agent told A&M what LSU's final offer was and if A&M had a counter offer.

Did Woodward laugh out loud?

Randy Duke on shaggy? Is that you?!

Jimbo playing chess. Ed O playing bingo.

And to think that LSU fought hard to get Jimbo the past 2 years too!!!

We got the cash. LSU doesn't.

There are rich LSU alumni. Hope that helps

This narrative that LSU doesn't have money is misguided, I agree A&M has deeper pockets but LSU can hang with anyone...just like most SEC schools

I agree, no way we were going to go over $2.5 million

What would that add up to, out of curiosity?

It's nice to be humbled by the checkbook sometimes.....

Money we don't have?

LSU athletics nets a profit.

The state isn't paying for this salary. The state has money. The whole "bankrupt" thing was a ploy by the Governor to scare the public into influencing the legislature to pass his legislation/budget adjustments.

Basically after Katrina, LA received a ton of extra funds for rebuilding. Our budget increased dramatically because of this. Once the funds stopped, the budget was at the same level. Therefore, the budget needed to be adjusted back to pre-Katrina days.

We also have plenty of big money donors just like A&M.

You guys lost again to LSU. Deal with it.

Yep you have the cash and we don't. That's why we just paid our DC $2.5 mil a year and you don't have them.

We would've had Jimbo 2 years ago if F King Alexander wasn't scared to make a move at the time due to the optics.

You guys live in a bubble. #7inarow

Just like atm did.

Simply not true, Louisiana state government is in dire financial straights and anyone who refuses to recognize that is denying reality. LA has numerous outstanding obligations that have hamstrung the state's ability to provide and perform many basic functions. LSU's campus is a dump (especially relative to its counterparts in the SEC) and is not be properly maintained due to lack of sufficient funding. Seemingly, the only thing LSU cares about is athletics with a special emphasis on football and attempting to compete with Bama.

Your post is 100% false. LSU's campus is very nice and has multiple construction projects going on right now. It is more aesthetic and nicer than A&M's.

I explained the Louisiana state government situation in my previous post. You are throwing out falsities and are completely wrong.
