Since my daughter will be attending LSU, I have again obtained season football tickets, so it is not like I have not continued to support LSU even though I live out of state. I also give to the traditiion fund and have given to the alumni fund. I visit my parents and in-laws at least once a month, so I still continue to spend and contribute to the economy of Louisiana.
So, you give all this money to your alma matta but you're going to all of a sudden quit because they didn't offer your kid an OOS tuition waiver? LSU doesn't owe you anything, it sounds like you give your money for a purpose...athletic tickets. Your alumni contributions are awesome but I'd love to know how they stack up against the rest of your contributions.
I would love, absolutely love to know how other State Schools are doing. Whether they freely give OOS tuition waivers or not.

they aren't "freely" giving anything, it was a 75% waiver designed to attract students who might otherwise attend other schools. His point regarding donations, tickets, travel etc is just clarifying that he's not freeloading as some of you continue to claim.

At no point did I say I was not going to allow my daughter to attend LSU or stop giving. I was just commenting on the timing and implementation of the announcements in general. And I have been giving to the tradition fund before I ever "had to give". Basketball season tickets did not have tradition fund requirements until two years ago.
I know for a fact that McNeese and Lamar have OOS waivers for students in their respective areas; i.e. Southwest Louisiana students can receive OOS waivers to attend Lamar and Southeast Texas students can receive OOS waivers to attend McNeese.

While so many are focusing on the OOS Legacy Program, LSU has plans for you in state people as well. I just wonder how citizens of a state with income averages ranked second lowest in the country are going to find a way to pay tution and fees similar to its southern peers like Georgia and Florida (approximately $4,500 per semester) as described in the LSU plan.
If you think Martin is only focusing on OOS, think again. He has now turned his stepping stone at LSU to the in state people as well. Martin is a very engaging individual and could probably do standup comedy if he chooses.
See the facts below and look at his press conference on Youtube at the 17:30 mark.
THE LSU PLAN FOR GREATER IMPACT ON LOUISIANA
The financial problems of the State of Louisiana for Fiscal Years 2011, 2012, and 2013 will cause
additional funding reductions for state agency and higher education budgets. To best prepare LSU for these significant budgetary challenges, the University is implementing the “LSU Plan for Greater Impact on Louisiana”, a strategy to position the University for the next three years and beyond. Several aspects of the LSU Plan are consistent with the Executive Budget and the LA Grad Act that Governor Jindal.
Financial Goal for Autonomy:
Minimum of $14 million net increase in tuition/fee revenue annually.
LSU requires greater authority and autonomy over its operational variables so it may provide
the best educational value to the students and citizens of Louisiana.
A. Tuition and Fee Authority
1. Amount of Increase – LSU needs the ability to charge students a sufficient rate to
maintain a quality classroom experience. Tuition and fees remain the primary means to
counteract reductions in state funding. Governor Jindal’s proposed LA Grad Act would
permit a 10% annual increase in tuition, which is an amount more closely reflecting
what LSU will need in the upcoming years.
2. Peer Analysis – LSU seeks to increase tuition and fees to a rate that is similar to its peers.
LSU’s current tuition and fees are $2,761 per year less than the average of its peers.

Martin Press Conference
Good Luck to all in Louisiana, but I don't see a future in Martin's OOS or IS plans. I only see it bettering Martin and not the people of Louisiana.
