If 4.5 million enough of a reason to choose Florida over LSU if the reported contract from both is 10 years at 15 million?

State Income Tax Comparison for $15 Million Annual Income (2025 Rates)Based on 2025 tax rules, Florida has no state income tax, so you'd pay $0 in state taxes each year, or $0 total over 10 years.Louisiana switched to a flat 3% state income tax rate on all taxable income starting January 1, 2025. For $15 million in annual income:Annual state tax: 3% × $15,000,000 = $450,000
Total over 10 years: $450,000 × 10 = $4,500,000

This assumes the full income is subject to state tax (e.g., no major deductions or credits factored in) and you're a resident of the state. Actual taxes could vary based on filing status, other income sources, or federal interactions—consult a tax professional for your specifics. These figures exclude federal income tax, which would be the same in both locations.

What about the land tax?
What about the cost of living?

Cost of living in Fla is very very high. Compared to Louisiana.

Lane will make a decision based on where he wants to coach in hopes of winning a national championship. All of the rest is secondary.

So increase his salary by 450K over what Florida offers him yearly.

Problem solved.

I guarantee you that because of tax codes LSU will be paying more than Florida accordingly.

Floridas property taxes (in Gainesville especially) are a lot less than the delta of Louisiana’s income tax and property taxes. And let’s not even start with sales tax and other excise taxes

At least the third idiot in this thread

Let's just use a cost of living calculator to see how this plays out.

Looks like if UF and LSU are offering the same amount, UF is actually offering less.

LSU will give incentive to offset this. They're not dumb.
