"And board member Rolfe McColister seemed bothered by the attention going to football, writing: "The public and fans are divided. What I don't hear is their position on who we hire for Provost. The key academic position and one king also has to make and we hear nothing [sic]. Only views on football coach. This speaks volume. Same with media. Oh well, we see their priorities."

Hey Rolfe, nobody cares about the fricking Provost. LSU is not some bastion of Ivy League education. LSU is (or used to be) an elite football program. With success in football comes more money for the academic side. What a jackass.

And that is exactly the problem. WE can get or create a demand for the boosters to shell out 25-30 million to pay for a coach who manages extra-curricular activities like football before he has won game #1, but could not give a rats arse about the academic side.

Hey joey, with all of the spending when LSU was top of the heap (it still is,btw) how much did that on the field success add to the improvement in the overall academics at the university?
