Was it simply a better deal at College Station?

Ask Skip Bertman. he's the one who let 10-15 more national championships walk out the door

Skip dissed the track program and caused him to succumb to A&M's evil offer.

Story goes he came back to BR with the team after winning NC #363 and there was nobody there to greet or congratulate them at the airport. That was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Henry wanted an updated indoor track facility with a banked track with locker rooms. Skip said no, A&M said yes.

$$$ that simple. Tract generates little income and LSU made a business decision. The only people that worry about it are LSU homers that need something to bitch about. 99.99999% percent of the population have never heard of him.

I've heard Hannagriff say he didn't like that the football coach got everything he asked for, while he couldn't get the slightest upgrades/was taken for granted.

Reportedly Henry's resignation went "Give me gaiety or give me death!"
Next stop: College Station!

I can't disagree with Skip on pouring money into something that would NEVER return the investment money wise.
Would it be great to keep winning track championships like Henry did here? Sure but tell me how losing money on track and field is worth it

How long was Pat Henry here? He probably had 15-20 years in the Teacher's Retirement System & could "retire" from LSU and draw a decent amount from that plus a full salary at a new place.
Doesn't always have to be some super-secret intrigue.

Because skip couldn't get a track camp for the AD established like he did with baseball, so he didn't give a shite about Track.

Is this the thread where we pretend to care about track?
