re: Eating lunch at the Boston yesterday in Amite

I agree 110% as the cost of yearly tuition (both in-state and OOS) are nearly identical for LSU and ALA. Sadly the LSU financial aid officers gave the NCAA a low $ number as ALA raised there numbers 2 years ago to be at the top of the SEC.

LSU even got passed up by A&M who originally reported around $3528 in 2015-16 ($392 per monthly check), as this number increased to $6294 in 2017-18 ($700 per monthly check).

Money means a lot to kids who grew up in lower/middle class income families and are already materialistic based on their social media profiles. If LSU doesn't make immediate COA adjustments to "keep up with the Jones" (other SEC schools) it will definitely effect recruiting.

I have no doubt that when other coaches sit down with recruits and their mothers during the in home visit, this subject definitely comes up.
