Are Louisiana state tax payers still being forced...

to pay one of the richest owners in all of the sport leagues, Tom Benson, that 35 million a year? This goes back to Mike Foster and he did it to keep the Saints in NOLA. LSU football gets ZERO state tax dollars and is giving the university about 8 million a year. That puts LSU way behind the other big programs in the SEC.
Why would somebody as RICH as Tom Benson still take that money if he does?
