LSU President F. King Alexander's University Club home is on the market prior to a move by him and his family to University House close to campus, school officials said Monday morning.

Ernie Ballard, a spokesman for LSU, said the decision stems in part from the fact that Alexander's three children are grown.

Ballard said the school's Fierce for the Future fundraising drive was another reason for the move, which he said will make it easier for the president to host fundraising events closer to campus.

University House, which is on the lakes, has traditionally been used by LSU presidents as their residence, with some exceptions recently.

Ballard said the Alexanders will move later this summer.

Alexander's future with the school has been the subject of speculation in recent months, in part because of LSU's controversial new admission rules.

The recent replacement of LSU Athletic Director Joe Alleva by former Texas A&M Athletic Scott Woodward has also fueled comments about possible major changes in the leadership at LSU.

They want to make money in fundraising but they’re gonna keep King?

So basically, a few posters saw his house for sell, viewed it as an opportunity to be an "insider" on a message board, made a thread saying they knew King was gone, in the hopes of being correct and claiming a little internet fame. What a sad life they must live.

Par for the course here.

I'll stand with my sources. This is just a PR move. I bet you feel really smart though!

I confess I got my hopes up when I saw the thread about F. King's house listed for sale.

I was like.....




And then....

I hope your sources are correct. Why would I hope that F King stays at LSU?

I don't feel any more, or less, smart than I did before. I'm not claiming to have any inside sources though.

You just accused everyone that's hearing the same rumors from solid sources of seeing F King's house for sale and jumping on that for some internet fame. I see you smart guy!

Does not mean it won't happen in due course of time. Not this week. My guess initially sometime between June and November of this year.
