TAF and Bayou Traditions - do they cooperate??

TAF is a relic of the time when facilities and such drew recruits...in the NIL era, having money in the collective is more critical.
That being said, do those two entities play nice?

Relic? NIL is only a couple of years old and still changing. We still don’t know how it will all play out. Paying the players is a new cost. The other ones to run an athletics program are still there. TAF will change but it’s not gonna be a relic.

That's fair.

It's like every other political entity in LA. They sword fight over their own best interests. TAF primary goals are supporting Athletic projects and coaching hires. Bayou Traditions is 100% NIL and player recruitment. Both are essential to the overall health of the program. One doesn't want the other bleeding resources financial or otherwise from its goal. You would think they would find a way to pull in the same direction but sadly they don't.

I do. That was the point of my question given how TAF is an existing support structure for LSU athletics but doesn't do much in the NIL space.

They’re not allowed to in the existing structure.
Everything NIL related is 100% outside the university & LSU can’t donate funds to NIL collectives.
However, NCAA just proposed a rule to change all of this & allow schools to pay players directly, so who knows what it will look like in the future.

Try getting tickets to anything through Bayou Traditions, TAF and every schools counterpart are vital as well.

I feel like TAF anx Bayou Traditions shouldn't exist simultaneously. Wouldn't it be more efficient to have one fundraising arm and collaborate with the athletic department on where to spend?
