Professors bring in millions of dollars in research grants. LSU is a great school on the rise academically and its professors will be bringing in millions more in the coming years. The potential for dollars earned in the research and academic world blow football money out of the water at big time academic institutions. Research expenditures nation wide been on the rise during the economic downturn. Four universities this year earned over a billion dollars in research for the first time in history.

The school and the tax payer play little to no part of the coaches salary. It all comes from both the program's revenues as well as private donations. the fact is 93K people pay 504 a head to watch the Tigers play ball. If the programs wants to use self generated money to pay the coaches that is their right.
