LSU Band Director, Roy King, reportedly locked out of his LSU email account
I heard this and figured it was a rumor. So, I sent him an email to confirm. He has yet to reply. Doubt that it is true.

Roy King was pressured to turn over his $1 million/year budget to the School of Music. Tiger Band gets this $ from LSU AD.
F. King Alexander put some dude named Queen in charge at the SOM and gave him orders to get the cash. King refused. They opened an investigation on him to find whatever they could in order to remove him from the position.
If and when he is replaced, the person who replaces him will give the budget to the SOM and the Tiger Band folks and Golden Girls will see their scholarship/stipends (which are small but they practice their @sses off and can't really hold down jobs and school) filtered, reduced and perhaps taken away.
All so the School of Music can get their grubby paws on the money, which in effect is having the LSU AD spend some of its budget on subsidizing the SOM thanks to FKA's boy.
In essence, King sent a Queen after King and held his job for ransom.

I'll tell you this... I went to Bama last year and didn't really see or hear their band. What I did hear was Lil Jon and Scott Cochran's voice blasted over the loudspeakers from the second the play was dead until the next snap. I will never go back because of this reason; well, that and because I hate Tuscaloosa. Anyway, I bring this up because LSU likes to duplicate and one-up the best teams in the country. So if that's the case, get ready for the Tiger Band to take a back seat and get ready to hear a lot of Lil Jon next year.
