And we will still lose $5 million or more on that team this year.

95% of D1 schools do lose money on their WBB teams. LSU is in the 5% that doesn't thanks to proper accounting due to conference TV revenue, ticket/concessions sales, athletic foundation donations, etc.
On top of that - the "free" marketing exposure more than covers the $5M on its own.


This forum REALLY needs an application/rating system on posters. Too many people have 0.0 idea what they're talking about when it comes to athletics, politics, & life in general.

Better than losing 5 million with Fargas running the program, empty stands and not making the NCAAT every year.

At least Kim is filling out the PMAC, competing for national titles and putting the LSU on a national spotlight. And her being back has helped with donations to LSU's athletic department outside the WBB program, she does a lot of fundraising
