Casual fans just sound silly when saying "we" though
Good point. But who is to say who has the right when you may not know if they are affiliated with the school or not? I say "we" even though I haven't paid for any LSU education since 85.

Do you realize that TAF has offices on campus, pays the coaches salaries, provides bonding for all sports construction? How in the world are they not "we"?

You do know about all the money TAF help puts into the LSU athletic Dept and all the projects they help build for our athletes. All those thousands of dollars we donate add up to help offset costs of stadium expansion, basketball practice facilities, baseball stadium, Mike's Habitat, academic center, etc.

Because TAF isn't LSU. It is a private corporation that has a relationship with the University.

I wonder where he thinks LSU gets a lot of their funding from. And why people that donate money to LSU or other schools have to follow certain NCAA rules in regards to athletes or we'd get the school and athletes in major trouble with the NCAA. There's certain things I can't do in regards to LSU athletes that other people can.

That's what I thought until you said LSU, as in Louisiana State University.
And even if you meant athletics, TAF's private contributions do not make it a part of LSU.

I don't see anything about TAF being an LSU Department.

I think having an @lsu.edu address would warrant them a "we".
