re: Why did Pat Henry leave LSU?

I understand and accept the intangibles and like most I wish LSU would and could go all out in not just athletic programs but maybe the real reason the school is here- education. But that's going off track of the threads question.

Let me ask this. Would the board prefer, like another poster mentioned, that LSU was mediocre in softball, gymnastics, like in the past with a super strong track program? Because those two programs more than any others improved with investment. Yeah we all want both but that's not an option.

It's not like A&M offered a hundred bucks more a year. They offered a package that they knew LSU wouldn't match. It was insanely crazy package. Which is fine.

I know we all like to think LSU should have unlimited funds for every sport. That'd be nice but be realistic.
