re: New OTL article on Lyles/LSU

From LSU's perspective $6K is absolutely nothing. It costs LSU/TAF 2-3 times that for a single working day for Les Miles

If they want to do this story - they need to look at all of the recruiting videos being offered by different services.

Some of them are quite good - some of them are poor... but some access to information is better than none and without the ability of coaches to go and watch more high school football games? Every school without a sweetheart deal with the local high school is scrambling to identify prospects

Seriously OTL - if there is more money than that involved then OK run your story (if you show other schools and the value they receive for their packages). But would even one of your junior reporters be willing to truck his arse all over the place like Lyles did? For maybe 37K a year (25k from oregon + 12 from cal and lsu)? Really? Would you really pay for that much travel? He is pulling in a lower middle class or worse salary - the replacement cost if you let a coach do that is probably 75K-300K at many programs

And shite - what has Cal shown about what they got? Doesn't it seem like they are getting a complete pass?
