because a 400 pound high school basketball coach at the shittiest school in lake charles has a huge impact on things like recruiting and fundraising.
Think bigger picture, not just Ceasar. Getting a guy like Shaq fired up about your new coach and endorsing him publically, hanging around the program, and fundraising would be huge for the basketball program.
I'd say LSU football benefits by having it's alumni hanging out in the weight room during off season. Seeing Booger McFarland running up and down the sidelines like a big kid during the football game this year was awesome. Seeing big names like that around the program and enjoying the game like that is infectious. It's a great recruiting and fundraising tool. Duke, UNC, UCLA, and big programs thrive through their alumni connections and the history they have. I would love for LSU to be able to put a Class A coach and our basketball Alumni together for the benefit of the program. I hate seeing the Alumni so adamantly and publicly cornering Alleva into a hire.

But are these guys going to actually hang out at teh PMAC? Other than a few games a year, they most likely won't be there hanging out.
There is a reason to have an AD, and that's to make sure people don't make decisions that are best for them. They make decisions because they are the best for the University.

Shaq is going to support LSU no matter who they hire IMO
