quote:

They are not funding humanities professors salaries or non athletic building maintenance etc... In fact LSU reimburses TAF for quite a lot.


"The LSU Board of Supervisors will vote Friday on the LSU Athletics Fund Transfer Policy. Under the
agreement, the Athletic Department would transfer $7.2 million annually — $36 million over five years
— to support university academics."

It passed and that has nothing to do with scholarships.
get over it

They are very good at what they do and certainly offset some items but they are primarily set up for athletics and that is what they fund. They don't just wholesale donate a "shite ton" of money to academics. It's not true so he doesn't have to get over it.

Apparently you missed my point. I said they do give but most is in the form of for the student athlete, which your link provides. I'm also aware that having this option to pay for student athletes releases monies that normally would have been used for those reasons to use for non student athletes.

Try reading the TAF financial statements linked and you will see exactly how much is going where.

There is nothing to get over chief. If your an agdoctor from the ag department you aren't getting shite from TAF except maybe the cost of Mike the Tiger.
