re: Fo those clamoring for Will Wade to get a big raise

Give him a raise and some security.

Men's basketball is the consensus #2 college sport, can be extremely profitable, and for most universities it's the #1 sport.
We've treated it like a stepchild for about a decade, which is truly mind-boggling. Some people say "but baseball"... at least 90% of schools don't even give a shite about baseball. It'd be like Michigan ignoring basketball because they have a good hockey team.

LSU can and should be a ranked team in basketball. That only helps the overall athletic program. Wade appears to have them back.
