LSU’s main campus receives a guaranteed $7.2 million from its athletics program each year, according to the athletics funds transfer policy approved by the Board of Supervisors in 2012. In a news release, the athletic department said a surplus this year allowed for an additional $2.85 million to be given to the university.



The LSU 2015 operating budget was $1,047,257,758.00 their contribution is less than one percent of operating revenue, they should do more, or quit pretending they are a college sports team.

I'd be happier if they donated to upgrade the Auschwitz-styled bathrooms in the stadium.

Because it's their money and they want to do something entertaining with it.

Skip a night out next week and send that check to the university. I'm sure they appreciate any and all help.

Because you know, BamaScoop, exactly what a successful athletic program can do for a university. Or you should know what UAT has done since it changed its commitment in 2003.

It all goes hand in hand. The major difference at LSU is our State Constitution. Until that changes, higher education in Louisiana will always suffer at budget shortfalls.

Why doesn't the university streamline and get rid of its top heavy, non education administration positions? Or outsource maintenance to a non state employee company?

Salary, and especially benefits of non education staff is siphoning off huge chunks of money from teaching......

Stupid and uninformed are two different issues,
but certainly not mutually exclusive. Don't
be so critical. Its obviously not common, well known knowledge.
