While AD Alleva catches a lot of flack here from Tiger fans, his rewarding WAFB anchor Donna Britt the prized No. 18 LSU jersey for her years of service to the BR community deserves to be commended. Donna Britt is retiring due to having ALS, and cannot work any longer.

She has ALS and he gave her something to hang on the wall. It's a nice gesture, but we can hold off on the ball washing. It doesn't really mean anything.

And he still deserves all the criticism he gets.

This; And for the record, I want him fired for what he did to those Duke players, not for necessarily for any bad moves he made at LSU.....and there have been a few.

He took more effort getting a jersey for a news anchor than hiring a football coach. Sad

I never said Alleva was a bad man. Just an incredibly shitty athletic director.

You guys are fricking pathetic! Y'all can't even let it rest even in this thread with a story like this. Truly fricking sad no matter what your feelings are about Alleva! Embarrassment to Tiger Nation!

Kudos to the marketing and/or sports information person who thought that up and had JA do it. I guess he did well not dropping it or tripping or anything.

What is truly sad and pathetic is your language and attitude. It is pretty pathetic to let 3 or 4 people's comments get you so angry and upset. You will be a lot happier when you do not allow people to control your emotions.

They might have gotten it done locally, but it sure looks like it came from aliexpress.

Wrong number font, wrong stripes, and obviously not a current jersey. Typical cheap Alleva.

Chill our Parker. We know he hired your Dad but that doesn’t make him a good AD.

22 downvotes so far and I think you completely missed the boat on that 3 or 4 number, just saying!

I don't know. What he did to those Duke lacrosse players was not the work of a good man. He and the DA railroaded those kids despite ample evidence that they didn't do anything.

Go watch the 30 for 30 on that case. It'll make your blood boil. Why LSU gave this asshat a job is beyond comprehension.

Well, according to "insiders" on the Rant, he was already supposed to be gone. So much for folks with "sources".
Nonetheless, Alleva is just the angry fan's punching bag.
He doesn't even get credit for Wade because the Rant deemed that it was a Nunez hire. Nunez may have been the point person but it was Alleva who negotiated the deal and made the commitment to Wade for the resources Wade wanted. No coach accepts a job from an assistant AD.
