I'm LSU til the day I die, and while I wanted Les gone, I still believe I can't abandon my team even when I fully believe the administration royally fricked the entire situation up. But some do not think this way, will there be a drop off in attendance and donations next year?

Depends on how well LSU plays vs Wisconsin.

I think a lot of people just said frick it when Alleva said Miles will continue to be the coach at LSU. Everyone knows he there until his contract runs out now and the frustration will continue. That's for sure going to cause some people to just abandon watching LSU football. I'll watch even if it's painful because I support LSU and not just a coach but there are plenty of people I know personally who said they won't watch a game next year. That's yet to be seen though. The reaction will be harsh at first and by the time football comes back around I'm sure most will return.

Monetary donation will fall drastically. LSU to boosters your money means nothing to us

Nah. LSU will get a new AD. Boosters will get their pound of flesh.

Alleva is a dead man walking.

There might be a slight (5%) drop in donations, but I doubt anything of significance. As long as this team is winning 8-9 games a year the stands will be same as usual. Nobody I know of is jumping ship or abandoning the team...and many were pissed about keeping Miles.

I will watch but I will not be emotionally invested anymore and I have zero expectations. I will stop caring until there is a change made.

If the fans at the stadium were any indication, then no, support will remain the same

It will be interesting to see what kind of LSU turnout we get for the game up in Green Bay. For most LSU fans, going up there means plane tickets, secondary market game tickets, a couple of nights in an overpriced hotel room, a car rental, meals, etc. All in all, for two people, you're probably talking $2,500 plus giving up a holiday weekend. A month ago, I would have said we'd get a great Tiger turnout. Now I'm not so sure. That's a lot to invest in a team with a 9-3 ceiling (which the last month has made clear is where we are at this stage in Miles' career).

Depends on whether or not Alleva is replaced and the OC hire.

Spring game attendance or lack there of does not count as support. I for one am glad that LSU doesn't have 100,000 people show up for a spring game. It shows that we have way more to do in the spring time in Louisiana than to go watch a glorified scripted practice scrimmage.

As for the OP there will be complaints and people mad Les is still here but by the time September comes around the stadium will be full. I'm ready for it to start. I will be in Lambeau pulling for the Tigahs.
