re: LSU to receive 40.4 Million from SEC

That is insane that the SEC brought in half a billion dollars...

And a few people here are still under the impression Alleva is some kind of a miracle worker for running a profitable department.

your hyperbole stinks of shallow thinking. alleva isn't near as bad of an AD as is depicted by some on here. no one has portrayed him as a "miracle worker" but he has done a solid job with the departments finances and other administrative areas. yes, he hired johnny jones and it hasn't worked out but at the time it seemed like a good idea and jones started off recruiting very well. i'm glad I don't have to hire a HC for LSU basketball and you should be glad you don't either. LSU is more than a tough place to coach roundball, esp with the state of the sport in college today. the teams up north have a tremendous advantage in recruiting and the southern teams have the AAU backing. we are basically left with the leftovers and basically white kids aren't allowed to play basketball in the deep south so we have no pool of the largest race to draw from.

but my point is alleva is pretty good; a damn site better than joe dean was.
