Either LSU has an endless supply of money or they have more money than they do sense. They fired several coaches still owing them gobs of money.

I don't like him being in the SEC again. Say what you want about him as a person, but the guy wins.

Rumor is LSU is giving him 15+ million dollars for NIL.
Serious question because I legitimately don’t know the answer. Since they’re allegedly already giving Kiffin a treasure trove of NIL funding, where is all this money coming from? I don’t think of Louisiana as a particularly wealthy state overall, and although I’m not knocking the school, I don’t know of LSU in particular having an abnormally high amount of ultra rich alumni.

Louisiana the state itself doesn’t handle money well. But you’re mistaken big time on the amount of donors they have. Multiple oil billionaires, Canes CEO, and others

You mean no morals.
ADs and coaches spent decades making money off free labor and rewarding the players with crappy degrees while lying to them into thinking they’re getting something worthwhile in return for their labor. College sports never had morals.

I see so much love for Will Wade. Can someone explain the appeal? As in what has he done exactly to be considered such a home run hire?
Apparently he wins.....which he does.....some. He's not some amazing savant thought.

Yeah....no thanks.

Well they have a real AD and get their politicians in on it to fix stuff that isn’t working. Instead we twiddle ours thumbs and let guys like Eli go “what even is basketball?”
And at least half our fanbase eats out of Mitch Barnhart’s hands while insulting anyone who doesn’t toe the line.

Kentucky fans like to think we’re hardcore but LSU, Alabama, and Tennessee football fans actually put up their dukes to protect their program while we watch ours burn down.
