But I cant understand how someone who loves LSU can enjoy watching the University be damaged.
I've loved LSU for the athletics for years, but the education I got there was garbage. I had self-taught myself much more about my field as a hobbyist from age 12-18 that I just dropped out. I wasn't going to waste more years of my life and thousands of dollars just for a piece of paper.
That's not to say that that I want to watch the University be damaged. I just never saw it as anything special to begin with. It's hard to get upset about it.

I am guessing if you learned your trade as a "hobbyist" in middle and high schools, a college degree wasn't important for your field, anyway. It's like a contractor saying, "Med school was a waste of my time." Not putting down your profession (whatever it is) at all, but just because you didn't need that piece of paper doesn't mean others who want to go into different fields don't.
Those of us who did stick it out and get our degrees and are proud of them do see it as something special and do get upset about it.
