So frick the other state universities and those students because LSU wants to have a building to make smoothies?
I'm an LSU fan too, but calm down.
do you really think the state the size of LA needs the 16 Universities it has?

You just killed college athletics.

It's purely an optics play showing that the Athletic Department and Athletic Foundation are behind President Alexander's efforts to protect LSU
And it's a smart move. LSU is "circling the wagons," so to speak. Few, if any, things in this state draw public attention and reaction like LSU athletics.

Most flagships throughout the country are going to end up being 100% privately funded in the next 10-15 years...just the direction we're heading.
States will support the regionals and 2-year system.

Yep. For once it seems like LSU is coming together from all fronts. I've been quite impressed with Dr. Alexander's ability to do this in less than 2 years.

I believe it. Dr. Alexander is the man. I love his "we're stronger when we work together" approach.
He's a very likable man. This fall, he walked throughout tailgates welcoming Alabama fans to our campus. I thought that was cool
However, I can't confirm if he did a keg stand

They really need to cut several of the state universities or combine them with each other by region.
This is exactly what should be done, but it'll never happen.
It is beyond embarrassing how poorly the state flagship university is funded, and every year the budget cuts get worse and worse.

Good Grief. Do you ever wonder why everyone thinks you're a dumbass?

Going from 13% to 6% amounts to a 20-25% tuition increase, IIRC.

ok, maybe not easily, but doable?

Damn dude, you've swallowed the line, sinker and all.
Lighten up, we neither have to live down some dirt road with our water polluted by our neighbor's shite, nor do we have to live at the mercy of the feds.
It's never as bad as people paint it, and it's never as good as we want it.

Where is this "free funding" coming from? Does the Federal Gov't have a secret money tree (other than the Federal Reserve)? That money comes from us, you and me, in the money we are forced to pay for insurance. So stop using the incorrect term and use the proper term, redistribution!

Not at the schools that can support their own programs.

You do realize that some of the schools you would like to turn into jucos have some departments that are better than LSU

LSU Athletics, also plows back some profit to the university for academics. If you want to fuel the engine that makes money, we better make sure that engine has all the bells and whistles.
