An athletic departments job isn’t to be profitable. It’s to win. Profit is great but it’s still secondary.

Which was profitable before he got here, and will be profitable after he's gone.

Listen Joe. This is one of the dumbest rebuttals you have thrown out. The Athletic Department made money when Joe Dean was the AD. That is when a hotdog cost 2 bucks, tiger stadium held 20,000 fewer people, the football team was 3-9, the baseball stadium held 4,000 fewer people and had no suites, TV contracts were a fraction of what they are now, the SEC was in the infancy of revenue sharing, and the SEC Network didn't exist.
Being profitable is not remarkable. You suck at every aspect of your job that matters.

Tennessee.
Yep, the program run by Phil Fulmer. And that's without a football team with a pulse for over a decade, and not making money on baseball, and the women's basketball team declining hard.
Because, you see, being in the SEC means you are going to make money hand over fist, even if you don't have a stout group of teams and a bean counter running the show.
Let Alleva go to somewhere like DePaul, if he's such a financial wizard. That's a school that needs to pinch pennies everywhere they can, because all they have is basketball and it's dead now. LSU needs someone who can spread the brand, not balance the checkbook. Not on athletics, at least.
