I should probably clarify my position.
I don't think anyone here is saying this is a good thing for the University. And I can see how this might be a reasonable cut, considering the gross underfunding and the nature of the LA Legislature (a body I work with frequently).
I still believe that the recruitment of OOS legacies is vitally important to LSU. Institutions like Universities stand to gain immensely from familial traditions and a heritage of attendance.
I think my main gripe with this cut is that we will likely never see the scholarship re-instituted. Cuts like these are rarely temporary; when the University one day has a windfall, those dollars will likely go to pad the salary of an administrator like Mike Martin or Joe Alleva...not to students.

And while I concede that it may have negative effect on some, you can't expect for the state to provide the same financial incentive to those that live in the state and pay taxes and those that leave the state for economic opportunities and don't, only to come back and scream bloody murder because their kid can't have some scholarship because you went to LSU.
It's a losing argument and complete bullshite IMO.
