And yet they run one of the most profitable athletic departments in the whole country.

You know who else is running a profitable athletic department?
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.
