Says it around the 1:40 mark in this clip, he knows some of our boosters and that they have deep deep pockets.

Also says if he had to bet, Lane Kiffin will be the next LSU coach

If true, Kiffin needs a bunch of money to get the best DC on the planet!

He will fail unless his defense is stellar.

Well we know that’s just not true.

LSU spent all of last offseason begging fans to donate money, then the head coach donated $1 million, then we got outbid for our #1 prospect.

Do you know the boosters personally? I’m not a big fan of Joel Klatt but I’m sure he does know people, I don’t see why he would lie about it

Also, this entire board was so confident that we didn’t have money to buy out BK and everyone was wrong on that. We clearly have a lot more money than this board seems to think

Don't have the depth on the bench to continually spend like those others

Because they convinced a guy who hadn’t been a big donor previously to pay 1 QB?

They didn’t spend much on Harbaugh’s replacement.

Those downvoting this obvious truth are either trolling or living in a fantasy world. Every state has the stupid rich and all it takes is one to throw around stupid money but no way LA comes close to any of those schools.

Louisiana has People who are “rich” but they’re nothing like the rich in Florida, Ohio, Texas, Oregon, california, even Georgia and many others

What we have is dumb money

I’ve been saying this for years. Every time I read we “couldn’t afford to buy Kelly out” I rolled my eyes.

I find that incredibly hard to believe

I’d be shocked if LSU was even in the top 5 financially in the SEC.

It’s not what you have it’s what you are willing to spend on athletics. If things went by how wealthy alumni are, endowments, and general university wealth the Ivy League would beat everyone in athletics. Largest endowments: Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Princeton, MIT. Why isn’t Stanford the best in football? They could just lower their admissions standards, which they already likely do.

Not sure LSU would even be Top 20, tbh.

More wealthy schools will spend now that its legal.

Nil leveled the playing field.
