And that same one will make a run for the National Championship again this year. Come the new rankings this week, they will be #1!

DD is probably paid more than a lot of other gymnastics coaches given her tenure. Not sure why people continue to make such shitty comparisons.

I'd be okay if they flipped the salaries of those two. Paying DD more would be a great investment. Her ROI is incredible with what we're paying her compared to JJ.

I'm surprised the gymnastics coach makes that much honestly. I figured it would be around $100K

I thought it would have been more like $250k. With all the travel and such it probably should be

I generally scoff at the whole gender wage gap controversy, but this might finally be a disparity worth discussing.

Her ROI is negative, because LSU doesn't make money off of gymnastics regardless of how successful they are.

The issue is the revenue produced by the two sports. MBB is the only sport other than football that is guaranteed to be in the black every year. That's because of the SEC's television contract. Baseball makes money when it gets to the post season and hosts.

No matter how good any of the Olympic sports are, they always lose money.

Before anyone bashes me for this info, I got it from a lunch with Marc Ewing (the finance AD) several years ago. Don't shoot the messenger. I'm not knocking gymnastics or the other smaller sports in general.

... and here come the down votes.

Well, I live out of state and listened to the basketball game on a local radio station today. I honestly don't know whether there was a gymnastics match or not because I have NEVER seen them on tv or radio....just sayin....

DD got bumped to $240K this summmer. Sadly CJJ was bumped to $1.5M after his second year.

But I get your point.

Gymnastics put 7600 in PMAC on a freezing night. It'd take 3 games for MBB to put that many in the PMAC.

ETA: Caldwell-Fargas makes $700K a year.

Gymnastics tickets are also dirt cheap. They aren't making money off anything
