Money is getting spent on smaller sports no matter what. Track is consistently a top 5 team in the country, I think they have earned the right to be the top priority when that small sport money does get spent.

Unfortunately being the best in T&F is still a loss while being the best in women's basketball may actually get you some money or at least come close to breaking even. You think the administration doesn't understand the financial waters of the sports programs at LSU better than posters on the rant crying about being one of the top 5 programs in T&F because a guy we used to have is winning titles at aTm now? We're still a top program and winning a title won't change the financial truth.

If you want championships and the prestige your school gets from them, you do what you have to do.

I for one, enjoyed going to Bernie Moore to watch meets when I was in BR, and certainly enjoyed hearing about them winning year in year out.

For a long time there, death, taxes, and LSU was winning another women's championship, were 3 certain things in life.
