His arse should be hung from the gallows with Alleva. The TAF can do whatever the frick they want. It is not STATE taxpayer money! it is PRIVATE MONEY!

Big money just needs to tell him buddy you will pay a price now and defund him cut off his 8 million he gets from the TAF for the academic side. let him go beg and plead the state for help.

I'd laugh if the big money guys got so fed up and said screw it and let the whole thing burn to the ground, even the athletic side(defund) just to prove a point to alleva and the chancellor and any future assclowns trying to tell the TAF what to do.

You're Right FB-- TAF money is not Academia money-But when you are preaching this narrative politically, the line between the two blurrs--it's money for the LSU institution. The more money risk the Athletic side incurrs, the more money risk the Academic side inherits. It just does not fit with his overall narrative that the LSU institution is in grave financial trouble !!

That's true it is not taxpayer money, but you make it sound like just because TAF says it is so then it should be. That's not how it always works.

You realize that LSU Athletics doesn't exist without academics don't you? He kind of calls the shots

I agree, but you're fighting public perception. How many times did we hear, "for a state that's struggling and a university that's struggling how the hell can they justify this?!" EVEN from some local media. It would be private money but it looks bad from the POV of the uninformed.

i'd wager that 90% of the public doesn't understand that point.

Then why don't they just go out and spend some of those millions paying players? A good QB shouldn't cost anywhere close to $15 million.

It is the LSU football team, not the Tiger Athletic Foundation football team. Please go check the bylaws of the Tiger Athletic Foundation to see what they are permitted to do. They cannot do anything with their money that is not approved by LSU. And Alexander is the ultimate decision maker for LSU.
