The athletic department shouldn't subsidize the academic side to this extent when athletics is an arms race, the academic side can't figure out how to properly manage a budget, and the athletic department is successful.


I agree that they shouldn't have to go this far but the budget cuts were pretty deep. Hopefully this amount is a one time deal but those odds are low.

Then the university needs to chance their source of revenue, flexibility to make changes as an institution, change the structure of the four-year university system in Louisiana and budget matters from a legislative lobbying, etc. perspective. Fundamental changes should occur and continued taking from the athletic side is unacceptable to this extent.
