The only problem is Mulkey makes $2 mil a year and just won the National Championship, meaning she’s getting a raise.
Look, I like Mulkey as well, but there is no way you can justify paying your Women’s Basketball Coach $2.5-&3 mil a year. Hell Will Wade only makes $2.5 a year and the men’s basketball program doesn’t hemorrhage money, it turns a profit.

I’m sorry, but Women’s Basketball will never turn a profit. It just won’t. The same reason WNBA will never make as much money as the NBA. Just from a basic economic standpoint it would not be a smart move. There has to be a solid ROI.

I’d rather LSU hire 20 more analysts for football than throw upwards of $3 mil at a Women’s Basketball Coach.

Hire 20 more analysts for football? Nah, I'd rather they hire a great women's basketball coach. We already spend more than enough for football to be successful. If they can't make it on what they're already generating, then 20 more analysts ain't makin' a difference. However, hiring someone like Mulkey (who I insist will NEVER come to LSU), will make a HUGE difference in the women's basketball program in terms of interest, and revenue. Only thing is, as has been stated, she was making around $2 million a year at the end of this past season. Considering she just won the NCAA tournament, you figure she's gonna get a raise to what................? $2.2 to 2.3 million? I'm not sure LSU will be willing to go that high for a coach. We'll see.........................
