Inside LSU Baseball’s $5,000,000 Weight Room YT video

---

Baseball not getting money is GREATLY overstated.

---

rev share money did not go to build the weight room. LSU has caught up and is at the top of the game for player facilities. Still couple things they are missing like a full hitters launchpad and proteus motion machines but this, the locker room along with hiring Chris were huge huge steps

quote:

---

I understand that other schools are starting to put more funds toward baseball, but Jay had PLENTY of money to build this roster.

bottom 3rd of the SEC in Rev share. no they are not getting what they need to be top of the SEC in terms of roster talent.

Rev share is not paying the majority of the roster.

I’d like to see a citation on this, rev share is capped for every university this year at $20.5 million and I’ve read that 15 of 16 SEC schools are using the widely discussed 75/15/5/5 distribution model, with MSU being an exception. That would mean 15 of 16 SEC schools have the same player revenue share, including LSU.

you are correct but that last 5 is not going strictly to baseball

that is split between Baseball, Softball, Tennis, Golf, Track and Field, Gymnastics, Swimming etc.

now baseball is getting a lot of that but not all.

now direct quotes from Jay himself

"The rules have literally changed every single year in some way, shape or form with that. I'm very thankful for the people that have contributed to LSU baseball. You can't survive without them," Johnson said. "But with the rule changes with NIL, with revenue sharing, it's a different issue now. It's important that LSU continues to make baseball a priority and continues to invest on that side of revenue sharing. It's a little bit more like the big leagues. Do you want to be the Dodgers or do you want to be a small market team? Schools are going to decide what kind of sports that they want to be good in."

"I think one thing that in this new landscape that helps us a little bit is this stadium's full capacity. You know 500,000 people come through it on a yearly basis. So. The players have a marketing value, there's actually a marketing value to them. They have the highest social media following on all the platforms," Johnson said.

"My hope is that the people and the school continue to give us the chance to be successful."

[b]Johnson noted that other programs are choosing to be "all in" on baseball funding, and he explicitly stated, "We need to be one of those schools. We're not there yet[/b]".

from AI talking about it





not fully funding the 34 and continuing to fund more sports than other schools out of the 5% is the main thing i am talking about.

We need to focus on ticket revenue. We are leaving a lot of money on the table. The resellers are making more than LSU.

i didnt say anything about NIL, i said rev share and its not as easy as they auto get NIL and it gets approved.

---

Talking just rev share is disingenuous, the player's total compensation it what really matters and LSU has one of the best NIL setups.

Nothing is 100% but pleas point to any NIL deal with LSU that has been "shot down" by the NCAA. You won't be able to because the NCAA cannot limit NIL and the clearing house is a sham. The Supreme Court ruling that opened Pandora's Box will allow any attempt to limit NIL to be successfully challanged.

There are many Tiger Fans out there and they all have their favorite sport. The AD's reason to exist is to fund the sports that can never be profitable on their own.

Of course, CJJ speaks about getting more money/resources, all coaches do. Please name a coach that stated they were getting too much money/support and that their program needed cuts.

quote:

---

Is rev share just TV revenue and all schools get the same?

Or is it a % of athletic dept revenue as a whole so an AD with more revenue provides or can provide more to each program?

---

Revenue sharing is capped at $20.5 million this season for every university. A university could go less, but not more. It is directly paid to the players and the university chooses the distribution each sport gets. The 75/15/5/5 model is the most discussed and chosen for this, the first year ever of revenue sharing. if a school decided they want to give 80% of the $20.5 to the baseball players, they could. Would be pretty stupid, by hey everyone knows how popular college baseball is nationally.

quote:

---

That's not true. Both Arkansas and Ole Miss have carved out more for baseball. Not sure about any others.

---

Yeah, I don’t have a trusted source on that one. If I had to speculate, I would say the majority are using 75/15/5/5 the first year, with a few outliers like you mentioned, MSU, also, and they’ll likely be some tweaking over the next few years. The issue is that pie is limited and only so much to go around whereas NIL is currently unlimited and Baseball has Baseball specific NIL donors, most of whom would be separate than let’s say, LSU MBB NIL donors, probably not a lot of overlap.

Moscona says their roster money is mid SEC

we need more money after watching this 2026 team so far.
