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?

What LSU gets is a direct result of the Athletics side of the equation. Do you not realize that the publicity and following that football provides in large part contributes to the political capital LSU does have? Are you so dumb as to assume that as a given...and complain that academics isn't getting more?

when LSU athletics is rolling the money pours into the academic side. The athletic haters need to realize that without athletics they lose everything. If King was worth a salt he could manage a budget crisis competently. He instead goes for the nuke option and embarrasses the school by acting like we are bankrupt.

We have tremendous bloat on the academic side in the form of worthless positions and degrees.
