It helps that schools like Arkansas/Texas A&M will actually shell out the funds to upgrade facilities and bring in a wider pool of recruits. Hopefully whenever Shaver retires in the near future we can see a shift within LSU's administration to bring in a better support structure. For too long we've relied on the past success of LSU T&F to help keep the team competitive.

Forgive my ignorance, but is the women's team a contender?

Our indoor and outdoor facilities are shite.

I understand your sentiment; however, LSU $$$ can't compete with the Walton's/Jerry Jones and Texas Big Oil. LSU has money but it's not even close to ARK and A&M. PMAC definitely needs to be priority #1 (M & W BB and Gymnastics, followed by upgrades to Bernie Moore T&F. The Natatorium is 40 yrs old and is arguably one of the worst facilities in the SEC.

Yeah, shaver has had a lot of great moments at the university, but I want new facilities and a new era.

LSU has to change its identity a bit. Need to adopt a model like Georgia where they can win if all with just a few multi event athletes.

What Texas is doing with Floreal is peak pat henry stuff with their sprints, but I’m going to safely assume they have a bigger budget
