I don't know if he cares about football but another name that might have a say is Lod Cook. He's certainly helped LSU in other ways. He also sits on the Reagan Library Board of Trustees.

The names in the OP are the TAF Board and heavy hitters involved with what the TAF does with its money.

ETA.. Not all those listed are made of money. Many are simply influential people in the arena of LSU athletics and within media circles.

He went to Woodlawn in Baton Rouge.
That overrides where he went to college.

They aren't as boisterous, but there's a few on that list that have the cash.

I don't know if he follows football but Tracy Krohn out of Houston could possibly be LSU's richest Alumnus. He has a Le Man's racing team as a pet project

Board of Supervisors, they may be concerned about other things. Like, you know, the University part of the University.


The LSU BOS was a competent entity about 10 years ago. Its current composition includes bank tellers, small business owners, and farmers. It's a collection of unqualified Jindal acolytes.

They know absolutely nothing about higher education.

Some heavy hitters on there.

As someone else said, it would be nice if Richard Gill was here to guide this. RIP
