Your theory SUCKS POST LESS GET A LIFE. ALL YOUR LONG WRITING DIDN'T IMPRESS

My point is that Alleva must think he can run a mediocre football program, bring in similar revenue numbers because Coach O is a likeable cajun - all the while rebuilding our basketball program.
Again, why is it one or the other? Why not build championship level teams in BOTH sports?
Now, another reason why your theory doesnt make sense. If the idea is to not be competitive in football and build a championship basketball program, answere these questions:
1. Why has Alleva, as others have pointed out, not kept all his promises about resources and facility upgrades that he made to Wade? Seems like that would ahve been priority #1.
2. Why did he give O a blank check to hire coordinators, making Aranda and Canada 2 of the highest paid assistants in the country? If his goal was to devalue football as you suggest, why didn't he cut the assistant coach budget and use that money saved for basketball?

Interesting take. Shake off the down votes.

I think he feels we are too far behind in recruiting and coaching to win a championship short term. Mainly due to Saban's dominance of the SEC. There is possibly a long term plan in place, but he is buying time at the moment.

I agree, this does hurt my theory. I can't answer that.

Also hurts my theory - we definitely overpaid Coach O and his coordinators. This part is really difficult to explain. This where I start to think - "Well maybe Joe Alleva really is the worst AD in college"
Both fair points, you are probably right. Maybe Alleva is just a complete moron. I am trying to think of all angles, and give him some benefit of doubt.

Maybe not a complete moron. I don't think a complete moron gets to this position to begin with.
But, gong back to Duke Lacrosse, he seems to have a habit of making decisions in the heat of the moment without taking time to reflect on weather or not its the rigth decision.
And more often than not, those decisions have been wrong. This one may cost both him and O their careers.

So Coach O was an impulse buy, with a 12 million dollar first year buyout?
I think that qualifies him as a complete moron.
OR, he has some type of special agenda or interest.
Agree - I think where this is backfiring is that we may not even be competitive this year AT ALL. If we fail to win an SEC game, goodbye.

Here's where we finished in revenue last fiscal year. You don't think it's possible Alleva believes he could double our basketball revenue in 3-4 years, increasing profits through ticket sales if we're winning a lot of games, while keeping football revenue growth flat?

Your theory makes no sense. There are many more better qualified coaches that would have taken the head coaching job for 0’s current salary. Hell, the top 50% of Louisiana high school coaches are more qualified than 0.

Yes. Not a very smart one.

Why would he want to NOT grow the biggest money maker? Especially when attempting to do so may COST MILLIONS?

I think this is where we can agree to disagree.
I believe he thinks there is no opportunity to create revenue growth for football, until Saban leaves Bama.

That's really a piss poor, defeatist's attitude to be honest.
The risk you run is that the rest of the SEC does not just give up against Bama and starts to improve. Then when Saban leaves, LSU is not only still behind Bama, but the rest of the SECW as well.
And I still don't get this irrational fear of Bama. LSU is the one school that should have absolutely NO fear of them.
We've beaten Bama I think more than any other team since Saban got there. And even while losing 6 in a row, more often than not, we've stood toe to toe with them with the game lost only on 1 or 2 plays.
Losing 6 very competitive games in a row isn't a reason to just say "frick it" and accept the idea that they are invincible. That's the definition of being a pussy.

You can do both even with Saban at Alabama.

should just get rid of all sports that don't generate a profit.
sorry girls, no one really likes women's sports anyway. one of the dumber ideas of the 20th century.

What you are suggesting is the single dumbest thing anyone has ever posted on Tigerdroppings, which is an accomplishment.

Given that you can't provide any intelligent counterpoints, sounds like you have no grounds to make that statement.
