re: DD Breaux makes $175k per year, CJJ makes $1mil per year

That link is from the 2015 season and it was just above 9000 average. It went up again last year. In 2015 they had one meet with over 13,000 in attendance (and another over 12,000) and yes, this is counting people who actually are in a seat, not just who bought tickets and didn't show up like at football games.

Basketball last season had a little over 11,000 average but that was a sharp increase from the year before and I guarantee you it had to do with our recruiting class and the high hopes riding on the season. Best of luck with that continuing this year.

DD is also Dean of Coaches at LSU and in the SEC. Is that a paid gig or just some special title? Could that mean some extra money that is separate from her coaching salary?

Gymnastics now has every single home meet aired live on ESPN somewhere, even if it is their streaming service. Yet attendance still continues to build. I no longer attend meets since I can watch comfortably from home.
