Wow, some interesting stuff in this public audit by the state- for example in 2013, Womens basketball spent more then men's to recruit. Is this a title IX thing? If so fine, but wow....see page 12, am I reading this right? I'm a big fan of WB program (depsite not liking our current coach)but in no way should we spend same as men...

Well there's Title IX for starters, and perhaps the recruits they were going after last year were in locations that required higher travel budgets?

And I just looked at the report. WBB spent $1500 more...so 1% more. Give me a break.

Lousiana has a lot of really good male athletes...therefore the coaches dont have to go as far to recruit top level guys...and dont have to spend as much money....women arent necessarily the same. Even if there are good women athletes in Louisiana think about how many get pregnant before 18. I know LSU football players have children often, so the females are clearly the child-bearers. Just have to search more diligently for female sports.
