Tennessee is a hot, growing state with massive amounts of new $. Florida and Georgia and Texas are just states way ahead of La. and those Universities have far more resources.
Alabama and La are similar but Alabama has that history edge.
And then Oklahoma fits in there somewhere; still strong, but fading a bit.
Where players are has faded in importance in the NIL era.

Pretty sure none of the above have job openings except for Florida.

My point is that, of the jobs openings, ours is the best.

Florida and Penn state are good as I’ve said.

LSU has better environment for numerous reasons.
Florida has to compete in state with other big programs.
Penn state isn’t sec so I don’t see it as apples to apples but they do have a solid program and opportunity. Legacy is there since Joe Pa’s name is a bit jaded.


LSU has massive positives

Winning tradition
Annual talent flow in state
No other univ to compete with in state
Incredible facilities
Hungry fan base
Strong booster support
Legacy opportunity

With modern NIL era, we suffer a bit to recruit against deeper pockets but we generally hold our own - so far.

Woodward is aware of our strengths. He knows how to sell it.

We aren’t “broke”. That garbage keeps getting kicked around by people that have no clue how much cash flows through an athletic budget , especially the football program, at LSU, Bama, Georgia. Those are 3 of the biggest sports brands, not only in the SEC but in all of sports, and top 5 in college football. The LSU athletic department is FAR from broke.

None of that has anything to do with the football /athletic budget. The yuppies moving into Austin TX or the Green Hills neighborhood in Nashville aren’t boosting UT or UTenn’s football budget. ESPN, Nike, Ticket Sales, clothing sales, are doing that. If you can have 100k people show up to your stadium for a game, which LSU can, you’re one of the wealthiest brands in all of sports.
