JBE is taxing your tickets. F him!
Haven't they always been taxed? Did he impose a specific tax to raise taxes on lsu football tickets or something?
Didn't the new federal tax bill create a bigger issue by disallowing deductions for donations made to TAF?

Thanks for reading it for me. I could easily see that happening in one or another place first before it became 'standard', but again, many thanks...

I also believe the Governers salary should be capped as well as the Senators and Congressmen’s. And their salary is deducted from tax revenue.

It's easier for politicians to grow rich through corruption than a college coach, if not their salaries would also be in the millions.
Our governor duped people with dirty campaign tactics, so why does he care if he tears LSU down, that's what liberals do. Try to suck the happiness from your life.

Like virtually all public employees, Governor and Congress salaries are set by law, so therefore they are capped.

fricking Liberals. So who wiuld set this cap? John Bell Edwards?
He is right about one thing. It isn't tax money therefore he should shut the frick up.

The man does idolize Huey P. Long so his ignorance isn't all that surprising.

Does our brilliant Gov realize that a national championship football program brings students from out of state who pay extra bucks in out of state fees to be students

Back in the 70s-80s Long Field House was something.
Have you been to LSU football games? He was involed in recriting and co-wrote Touchdown for LSU, smdh.
You may not agree with his policies, but vs much political backlash, Long tripled it's size and did more for LSU than any other Louisiana politician in history.

Cool story bro. Most of Louisiana's political and budgetary problems can be traced back to Long's centralization of government, and his so called reforms.
But hey he wrote a song.

What about this joke of a governor getting a free ride on the LSU football charter plane to the Tennessee game? He threw passes at a practice before the bowl game... so isn't he getting free benefits the rest of can't get and he wants to cut funds for LSU and for coaches? Sounds hypocritical to me...

Bear Bryant, Alabama, 1958 (Bryant had just become Alabama’s athletic director as well as its football coach): $142,998. Bryant remained Alabama’s coach until 1982. He is reputed to have insisted throughout his career that his salary should always be at least one dollar less than that of the university’s president.
Interesting how salaries have gotten out of control, Bear Bryant won could argue the best of all time was compensated very well in the day. Salaries for coaches now is a arms race and we as fans are paying for the entertainment.
College athletics remain an amateur sport where all the athletes and non professional [non paid].
Mixing the huge sums of money college football brings in and amateur athletes [non paid] is walking a tight rope. The high salaries are only a reflection to the high salaries professional athletes are making.
At some point in time salaries for coaches and professional athletes started to rise out of control and we as fans are paying for the entertainment just as we have paid huge dollar amount to actors and performers for decades.
Politicians and professors are not in the entertainment business and comparing these wonderful people to college coaches who bring in millions of dollars a year is just not correct logic

Had you been one of the literally starving and without healthcare you'd feel different.
The state took a giant step forward, not back and there's been plenty of time to redirect those policies since LA got back on it's feet anyway.

But does he factor in the savings LSU gets on senior discounts?

Below is interesting read copied from article
So for example by 1981, Schembechler, who had the highest winning percentage of any coach during the 1970s, was being paid a little more than $155,000 in university salary and $130,000 for other contractual obligations, making his total compensation $285,771 (again in 2014 dollars).
Then in January 1982, Texas A&M, awash in oil money and eager to challenge the University of Texas for football supremacy in the Lone Star State, stunned the college football world by offering Schembechler the then-staggering sum of $250,000 per year in 1982 dollars, which would have more than doubled his salary. (This was equivalent to $611,790 in 2014 dollars).
Schembechler turned TAMU down (Domino’s Pizza king Tom Monaghan gave him a Columbus, Ohio franchise), but Pittsburgh coach Jackie Sherrill didn’t, inspiring this amusingly quaint article in the New York Times, which wrestles with the incredible proposition that any employee of a university could be paid a quarter million dollars per year. (Of course today even some non-sports-related university employees make millions).
From there it was off to the races. Nominal coaching salary milestones, with inflation adjustments:
Bobby Bowden: Florida State 1996: $1,000,000 ( $1,505,105 2014$)
Steve Spurrier: Florida 2001: $2,100,000 ($2,800,209 2014$)
Bob Stoops: Oklahoma 2006: $3,000,000 ($3,154,152 2014$)
Nick Saban: Alabama 2007: $4,000,000 ($4,555,777 2014$)
Nick Saban: Alabama 2014: $7,000,000
And now we apparently have an eight to ten million dollar man (I should add that as a Michigan football fan I heartily approve of this particular development, while sincerely deploring the overall system that has brought it about).
