I would go for it if the AD would stop the insanity of giving money to LSU's general fund.
The bulk of that money sent to the academic side is to pay for the scholarships that all the players (in all sports) get. Yes, in several years past, there has been a transfer above & beyond, but the AD is not fully funding the academic side of the school any more than the parent of little Johnny Freshman is by paying his tuition.
But remember that without the school, there are no sports. So while you can see it as extortion on the part of the legislature, it's effective extortion because if the school closes, LSU sports disappear.

Meathead, you are totally wrong. 99.9% of the LSU students/alumni went/ going to LSU to get a good education to improve their life style. Sports are fun but for most of us that's it just fun--will never pay the rent/mortgage, etc. from sports. To pay coaches what we pay them compared to professors, it's a disgrace. I've donated a fair amount, but I've .just about had enough.
