I just don't understand the negative perception of the buyout. Why can't LSU come out with a statement that any buyout comes from private funds and does not impact the budget?



That makes total sense however Jindal and F. King apparently thought they did not have the political capital to fight that battle when Jindal and the state legislature was making budget cuts all over the state.

Lay out the timing of the payments and the source of the funds. The truth is easily defended.

Timing with the sessions was terrible. You also have to remember about 85% of those in the legislature are either morons, or pander solely to their district and don't care about the protection of the Flagship University.
