LSU can't pay anywhere close to $4 million. they will owe Miles $1.85 for close to 6 years
The amount paid to the coach is not nearly as important as football success. Football success makes the entire athletic dept run. Most universities and I mean over 90% have to subsidize athletics. LSU is one of very few schools that has a profitable athletic dept and that is because of football and football only. They are luck to break even on baseball and basketball was only a minor money maker in Dale's hayday.
So, to keep everything afloat must have a successful even elite football program. An extra 2 million per year for that is a drop in the bucket compared to what they stand to lose.
