The refs were awful last night, but you do realize there is no such thing as SEC officials in basketball. They work games from all conferences.





No did not know this, this is different than the football refs, Right?

Well, when schools have to use their budgets putting assistant football coaches on a plane next to a recruit heading out west for a visit with another team, just to try and ensure that recruit shows up on your campus, you tend to run out of funds to pay a top notch basketball coach.


LSU Football is not paid for by the school. It is independently financed.
The LSU Athletic Dept. has a budget. It is self generated revenue. The football team is not separate from all other sports. In fact, as the biggest revenue producer it has to subsidize all the other sports which don't make a profit. This year I would think that the basketball team is going to be profitable because they have had a fair number of games that have been televised.
