re: F. King Alexander and LSU hiring a new coach

At the end of last year's budget crisis a deal was made within the University that makes LSU one of (if not the) only schools where the Athletic Department subsidizes the University.

LSU's athletic department is one of a small few that do subsidize the university instead of the other way around, but that happened a long time before last year's budget crisis. Since at least the early 1980s, LSU athletics has received zero funding from the university or the state and has actually paid money TO the university general fund.
