re: It's great that the AD can help out the Academic side, but look at Tennessee...

At the end of the day, the AD and coaches need to understand who their employers are.
The Knoxville Cougars and Baton Rouge Bobcats would get 500 people out to a football game. The University of Tennessee and Louisiana State University bring out 90,000+
I understand that but it's just like any other business, if the owner takes out 45% of the profits every single year to spend on things unrelated to said business, it's going to hamper his ability to grow his business and maintain or grow those profits in future years. I understand this despite never having taken a business class in my life, so I'm quite sure the people making these decisions understand that. They just don't give a shite. And therein lies the problem for the future well being of the LSU Athletic Department.

Right, they don't give a shite because the university has to thrive first and foremost.
If the AD and coaches don't realize this, they are idiots. And while they may think the university is a hindrance, that affiliation is the only thing that differentiates their job from someone working in the D league or Arena football
