LSU has always been political. John Bell could be considered one of the most political Governors when it concerned LSU in the last 50 years. The BOS appointments are political patronage. It is funded by our taxes so LSU in inherently political. You are just throwing crap against the wall because it is Landry.

If some of his constitutional changes pass, there may be a way to actually protect some of LSU's funding. I guarantee you Landry won't be on the news saying there may be no LSU football if we don't pass his agenda. You are really grasping at straws here. JBE gave us Jim Berhard and Collis Temple's full entrenchment in LSU. He worked to privatize services at LSU as a direct transfer to Bernhard. That is why Collis Temple is on the board.

LSU is and has always been political. Please provide any inkling of proof how Landry is going after LSU. We survived Blanco who was far more involved in LA University politics than Landry. This is just trying to start garbage.

Maybe Landry won't try to run over LSU fans leaving games with his police escort going 90 MPH. Maybe he won't show up at the next Heisman Ceremony or try to get Brian Kelly to campaign for him.

You need to go away with this shite.

It's not "throwing crap against the wall." It's objectively understanding what this legislation is.

If you think Jeff Landry has anyone but Jeff Landry's interests in mind, I've got a bridge to sell you.

Oh, you mean like going on national television to tell LSU athletes that they should have their scholarships pulled if they don't stand for the national anthem?

See above.

Yes, and the political landscape of 2006 is not even in the same ball park as it is today. Politicians fight culture wars now. There is no reaching across the isle. All that has to happen is Trump making one comment about how LSU doesn't stand for the anthem and a Landry appointee's head will explode and make sweeping changes.

I didn't like JBE and I didn't like these moves. I still liked them more than the bullshite Landry pulled with the anthem.

Look, I get it. You're part of the GOP. I, as a registered republican, can still look at things objectively and see that Jeff Landry does not have this state, or this state's flagship institution, in mind when making decisions. He cares about winning the culture war more than anything else.

Did you miss that whole episode where he quadrupled down on revoking scholarships for players not out for the anthem?

You're right. He just publicly threatened to take scholarships away from players. That wouldn't impact football, right? There are much bigger issues to worry about in Louisiana.
