Thank you.

This has been an offseason I actually enjoyed and frankly, it’s been hilarious.

It was handled with poise and speed to get rid of Kelly; then the ante up for Kiffin.

It wasn’t done then either.

Kiffin is the new chef. And you appropriated some really fiiiiine groceries for Purple Man Bad (taking hits, left and right from the media, and embracing the contact).

LSU donors are daggum legit. You might not publicly say you’d like to see Bayou Traditions take a larger fraction in NIL/RevShare. But I will say it.


Additionally, you all have to admit. This forum has been amazing. I don’t know if it was, but I hope it was instrumental in some of the goings-on for this entire winter.

I'll repost this here since I didn't get a ton of traction yesterday on the RB, but looking for some answers and maybe you can help.

Pretty straightforward. Some of us aren't big ballers who can donate 10k to NIL each year, but still want to help. Is there any list of things that the average joe can do to help? I mean, obviously buying tickets to games, buying team gear, and donating are options, but anything else?

Some questions:

What business can I frequent that we know for sure directly donates to LSU?

Have collectives completely folded into TAF or do they still have a role?

How much does viewing and liking LSU social media/Youtube vids help?

Any out of the box ways that help the teams?

Yea I want to know this too. I thought collectives (i.e. bayou traditions) were done now. Are they not?

Join TAF. Donate in a way you see fit for yourself. Bigger you go better you feel . More access you get. Do it.

Not done yet... there's still above board (NIL) and good old under the table payments to be made to HS recruits.

But yes, we're R-Kansas if they sit on that $$$$$

Collective are gone—no more big donor money buying mercenaries…like we did this past season on defense.

Revenue share and true NIL deals.

Rev-Share is about $20M with about $15M going to football. This can be used to pay players directly.

NIL must be true legit deals. Any NIL over $600 must go through a clearinghouse run by Deloitte.

This is what drew Lane here—because OM was not going to have the revenue to compete, nor the same access to NIL deals to build a team. OM matched his contract, but they could not compete with the player pay side of the equation.

Louisiana doesnt have more money than most other schools- we just have more people willing to spend their money on sports
