Ron Higgins' column, on the other hand, gets it right

Immediately, the level of hate from coast-to-coast for LSU sports just raised a couple of notches.

Ain’t it grand?

The immediate reaction of the sanctimonious national media was predictable.

Harump! Isn’t this the school that mouthy hussy Mulkey in April 2021?

Harump! Also, aren’t they the heartless orbs that stole Kiffin from Ole Miss this past December, just a few weeks before the Rebels made the college football playoffs for the first time?

Harump! And now they’re hiring Wade, who was heard on an FBI wiretap talking about “a strong arse offer” he made to allegedly buy a recruit?

Harump? Does LSU possess any morals about the way it does business?

Well, no.

It also had no college football playoff appearances in four seasons under former coach Brian Kelly, and didn’t sniff an NCAA Tournament invite in five seasons under Wade’s replacement and then predecessor Matt McMahon.

These days in college athletics, morals don’t rank high. It’s not even in “other receiving votes.”

If you want to win, there are no rules. You hire the person who not only can do that but also is attractive enough for NIL donors to open their wallets to buy players.
