Where does this money come from? You same whiners whose lives revolve around football but don’t have enough to chip in an extra 10k to boost our NIL have no ability to complain.

Guess what, all these schools that outbid us, have way more earning potential than us. In LA, the same 2m house in BR would be 5 million. Basic economics.

Get your money up, not your funny up

Update - this is why we aren’t even a top 100 school. You realize rankings = endowment? And endowment equals number of donors with liquid capital with the ability to sink money into frivolous things like college football. We have very few $$$ donors vs these other NIL schools that churn out earners and are willing to pay. LSU, everytime we need some money we go to a personal injury attorney. This thread just shows how many people here have never been outside of LA. Good gracious.

Baw while you are right, it is basic economics, you gave a horrible example. The Cali to BR example contraindicates your point. All you’re showing is a massive cost of living disparity, which means we should be able to give more than them…

That’s only if your earning is at par… which it’s not.

The reason people can pay 2-3x for the same essentials is because the earning comes in exponentially higher in HCOL areas

It’s not my job to fund lsu athletics
They get free room and board and tuition
I’m not paying so they can drive a better car then I have
If they earn that thru real nil then great for them
If they eventually get free revenue sharing from tv then great for them

Okay we have.



You’re probably the one that says put up or shut up and hasn’t put a dime in.

I get it if we don’t want to overpay


What about that locker room if the LBs and Star are tired of getting plowed in the Defensive Backfield by game six, and teams are rushing for 180+?

And they see we aren’t overpaying for DTs next year. Think our best DBs and Lbs aren’t looking for the bag next year? That will free up some cash, right?

Just coach up what we have?

Reading these comments are giving me brain rot. You think LSU's money comes from the average Joe's earnings? Bless your heart.


If you think LSU is struggling then tell me why they're headed to the #1 recruiting class? Also, LSU was one of the few universities past few years to have a top 10 recruiting AND portal class. BK is more selective this year because of the duds he got out of portal last year and depth being less of an issue in most areas on the roster except DT.


Cost of living is low in Louisiana and LSU has big donor support.

You’re an idiot if you give any money at all.
It’s a freaking sport. Good luck with giving your 10k so a guy can come here and lsu…… not you….. can win a championship. I like watching football but I can spend 10k on something better. Yes it’s your money… I understand that but what do you actually get out of it…… a championship football or Hirt that you have to spend money on also. This stuff is so overblown.

If what he said was true nobody would be able to beat Texas in recruiting or portal battles. They just lost like everyone else did on a DT lol.

Let me guess, you never played and have never been in a locker room as a player. More to what is going on than just the $$.
