First, let's begin with the fact that Texas A&M has a lot more money than LSU. Way more.


"Four years ago, former A&M President Robert Gates and Byrne agreed that the athletics department would receive a $16 million line of credit from university funds for coaches' salaries and new facilities. The deal allowed the department access to the credit for four years, with 10 years to repay the money without interest. The first quarterly payment is due Nov. 30." LINK

thanks for proving my point. LSU wouldn't have that kind of money to "lend" to the athletic dept. To nail down the point, try googling "university endowments". Forbes ranks the Texas A&M system as the 4th fastest-growing university in endowments, and they're the 10th largest overall in endowments at $5.7 billion.
