Faculty do work 40 hours a week and more. It's more than just time in the classroom. They have to grade, read papers, advise graduate students on their writing and research, and conduct their own reserach. To get tenure at LSU you have to publish a lot and or bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars in research money.
Plus LSU faculty make less money that professors at places like Texas, UCLA, Florida, Minnesota, Michigan, and North Carolina.
Now, I think we can all agree that LSU shouuld be in the same league as Texas, UCLA, Florida, Minnesota, Michigan, and North Carolina both academically and athletically.
When you go look for a job and want to move up in your career a good portion of how much money you're offered and how desireable you are among companies is where you went to school.
Michigan and UCLA could 0-12 in football and yet their academic reputations wouldn't be tarnished one bit. Some of you need realize that for Louisiana to have continued economic success a world-class research university like LSU is a must and frick Tulane.

You do realize that both California and Michigan are on the verge of being bankrupt? So it is okay for the schools to be good in research while unemployment in the states are above the national average and the states can hardly afford to keep the doors open? The states have to cut spending, I'm not saying they cant do it other places but hey have to cut it from somewhere. If not education then where? Entitlement programs? We are lucky to have an athletics program that helps support the university, many other programs are a drain on the universities they represent. you want to save jobs in the schools cut title 9 for athletic programs, if it doesn't pay for itself, cut it. But then that would go against all liberal ideology.

Off topic but yes and no to that. Most employers will admit that the biggest thing that gets a person hired on is whether or not the employer simply likes the person he's interviewing and can see himself working with the person. If a person walks into an interview with a degree from Harvard but comes across as a little snot nose punk know-it-all, he may as well wipe his arse with that degree because he'll play hell getting hired.
