BATON ROUGE – LSU raked in more than $200 million in free advertising in the seven weeks the world was watching the university football team complete its record-setting perfect season.

The chatter – usually on the front pages of newsprint or leading TV newscasts and taking over digital publications everywhere – exceeded $200,000,000 if the reach would have been purchased through traditional advertising, researchers said. Read more.

And the library has a leaky roof. You see what I did there, did I get that one right lol.

Oh, it's 2 or 3 times $200 million. Advertisers don't pay on mentions, they pay on readership (reach). The visual images are much stronger and are remembered longer. Those are worth twice that much in impressions.

But only academics should be the identity of an education institution. Or at least that is what the sky screamers say. Geaux Tigers!!

What're the numbers on ESPN giving free ads to our opponents to the East? Half the ESPN articles were about them, even after their season ended.

All of this was in Coach O’s binders. Oh ye of little faith.

So each mention is worth $1,332? Um, you owe me a fat arse check, LSU.

That is awesome. I wonder if the Philosophy prof who bitches about coaching salaries gets $200MM of advertising for their universities.

Good but I’d need a comparison from previous non-playoff years to attach any significance to this. I’m sure this year is significantly higher but how much higher?
