A study of 223 NCAA Division I athletic departments at public schools reveals that LSU was one of just seven to report receiving no subsidy money in 2012, according to USA Today. Nebraska, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Penn State, Purdue and Texas were the others.

LSU and Texas had the only 2 baseball programs that were self-sustaining a few years back. I know that isn't a big line item but both are on the list so there is some correlation.

The LSU AD intentionally declines any state money.
First, they wanted the autonomy to be able to do whatever they wanted without leaving their fate in the legislatures hands.
Second, even without TAF, the AD was self-reliant with sponsorships, ticket sales, etc.

Our athletic department takes nothing from the state... we control our own destiny. Actually, our AD gives money to the academic side... been doing it for years. Every other school in La. gets athletic support from the state.

and add to that LSU and I think Nebraska were the only two to not receive any subsidy and RETURNED MONEY TO THE UNIVERSITY.

Wonder how the Auburn fans feel about having their tax money paying for Sabans contract?

Jindall had nothing to do with it. It is against the law in LA for LSU AD to receive any public funds. It is the only college in LA like that including Tulane. This has been true since sometimes in the 1930s.
