re: Because people are stupid, our Governor feels coaching salaries should be capped

“I am concerned. I’m not as concerned as I would be if those were tax dollars being spent,” Edwards said. “I do think that there has to be some look nationally at some sort of salary caps for the organizations. This is an arms race, and it’s gotten out of control. Some of the salaries and buyouts are obscene and they can create all sorts of problems. “Everybody at this table knows that those are not taxpayer dollars but the general public doesn’t necessarily know that,” he continued, referencing the Advocate reporters and editors in the meeting. “And what about those faculty members at LSU and elsewhere who haven’t had a raise of any size in many, many years and they’re seeing what’s happening in athletics?”

Here's a thought....hear me out John.

Maybe you call out the fricking incompetent legislators of this fricked up state. Maybe you call them out to do something to fix the budget issues of our state. If the ELECTED Officials would do their jobs, to prevent us from spending more money than we have, then we wouldn't be concerned about the "perception" of a self funded organization. You're basically mad that TAF and Tiger Athletics is well run and well funded and taking a public shot at them because of it.
