Because money isn't unlimited and football and baseball take the resources.

Well I’ll have you know that the only thing holding McMahon back was diminished NIL funds. There was a big PR stunt (read: damage control) in February after the season was lost that stated NIL funding would be increased.

I look forward to McMahon’s put up or shut up season. Make the NCAA tournament comfortably or HE’S GONE.

Let me know if you have any questions.

LSU don't recruit good white basketball players. They think only the blacks can play good basketball. Geert Hammink was the last white LSU player to make all SEC. That was in 1992, over 33 years ago.

Because LSU fans apparently have better taste in basketball coaches than athletic directors named Scott Woodward

That's insane, DB loved recruiting internationally during his prime years, that was DB's last tournament team with LSU, lost in the first round last second to Jason Kidd and Cal, were an 11-seed

Just switch to NC State when basketball season starts. I hear they are having a hell of a recruiting year. Just signed the number one player in the Portal and we know he can coach.

First order of business; CARE about the success of the program from the top on down. Hey Woodward, are you listening?

Basketball sucks and is just a fill in sport between football and baseball.

Because MM has proven to be full excuses instead of results.

No that race matters, but this is a pretty dumb comment. They just got a "white" guy out of the portal that's actually very good.
