They drove away enough staff to have to request (‘free’) Federal relief workers while still collecting the windfall from COVID payments. Pretty savvy way to game the system but peculiar why a chunk of the cash then goes to an outside entity.

Shady? Come on. There was a public 9 page RFI issued by LSU, the Foundation, Athletics, and TAF together. 1. There was a competitive process. A Request for Information was issued in November. Proposals were due in December: RFI Summary ** No clue what "hydrocodonehelp" is but it's a site that just pulled the Business Report content which is now behind paywall. 2. The RFI covered R&D, athletics, sports medicine, athletics, student health, the new Science Building, and strategic partnerships for the LSU System to pursue National Cancer Institute designation. There was an extensive full proposal and review process. Read the press release. It has a lot more detail including specific breakdowns on distributions into the programs requested in RFI: LSU, OLOL, LCMC Press Release LCMC is NCI designation partner. Looks like OLOL is everything else. NCI designation is among highest LSU strategic priorities.
You can wrap this in whatever white-collar bullshite you want, it’s still shady as frick.

It would probably take a hundred of the world’s best lawyers to figure out how this is going to work, but you can bet your last dollar that OLOL will benefit financially over the long term to a greater degree than what they are giving away.

Just the new NIL deal to buy players.. OLOL has a proven history in that area.( aka the Alexander scholarship).

The “Damn strong offer” came from OLOL

Just bringing the things funes was doing in the shadows into the light and trying to make it legal. It’s a complete sham deal, like most olol things.

It's amazing that athletics was even mentioned in the donation. Could make it less obvious. 
Posted on 2/12/22 at 11:26 pm to StrangerInTheAlps
If the donation was this gigantic, imagine how much other extra cash they have hanging around that affords them to make such a huge donation. Unnecessary aid or shady money is flowing over there like beer at an LSU football tailgate.

“Not for profit” hospitals and the like are absolutely ruining healthcare. They grow into these monstrosities by snapping up as many private practices/specialities as they can, roll them underneath a single umbrella and watch the money roll in as the service gets shittier and shittier. My toddler had an eye issue this fall and needed to see a pediatric opthmalogist, actually speaking with someone in the opthmalogists office to relay the urgency was near impossible. I had to deal with some dum dum on the main switchboard who didn’t know their arse from a hole in the ground.
This instance is probably one of the smaller issues these medical conglomerates cause.

To think that company now sponsors LSU athletics and UL Lafayette athletics. Why is a hospital fruit for college athletics?

How does LOL have $245 mil to just give away and why. I just can't figure this one out. Shouldn't they use this money to upgrade to new precision technology.
Because they have been fricking the community dry for however long they have been in business. I don’t care if I am bleeding out, I will never go to OLOL for anything again.
Doctors who don’t speak English and who are rude as hell, nurses who won’t take time to answer any question you might have and a swarmy little fricker as CEO makes it a recipe for disaster.

Just because you don’t understand it doesn’t mean it’s shady.

Sounds like you’re mad. Who gives a frick how they can do it? It benefits LSU, that’s enough for me.

Consolidation is a nationwide trend. If it wasn’t OLOL it would be Oschner or BRG or some other group. But it’s going to happen one way or another.
The nonprofits don’t return revenue to shareholders. They can only reinvest it into their operations or donate it.

Congrats, you win the award for stupidest motherfricker of the day.

Nothing seem shady.
OLOL with LSU Med trains 100’s of doctors a year. They are a teaching hospital.
Why would they not support lsu?
LSU had a problem of paying for a coach to go away and paying for a new one to come with football ticket prices maxed out already.
So they decided to pit all the athletic sponsorship supporters against similar institutions for a 10 year exclusive agreement.
The Lake had to go against Ochners and whomever and I’d rather have the local guys that already work here with lsu.
This is a good start to making Baton Rouge a stronger medical-academic destination in a city that needs positive growth.

Exactly. Those ventilators were huge profit centers.
