OU vs LSU narrative on money

I see it referenced here repeatedly that LR would leave because OU won’t spend the money he needs to get ready for the SEC. But everything I’ve seen on line shows that OU actually has a bigger annual football budget than we do already.
Has anyone been there? Do their facilities compare to ours across the board already? Seems like a false narrative to me.

Dont believe anything you hear and only half of what you see.

OU doesn’t think they need to spend that much to have a quality coach. They think being a blue blood is worth the job alone. They’re about to be put to the test on that.

I think one of his biggest problems is that they don't like to pay assistant coaches and it limits him in who he can hire.

Aren’t they about to have to pay like $70 million just to leave the Big 12? That might be why they’re not willing to spend at the moment

Zero U also has a 1 billion dollar deficit

It's not so much about resources being available.
It's more about is he worth the counter offer.
Im in the camp that he's not. Just go hire another up and coming assistant or young coach for $5 million.

Been there many times. Facilities don’t even compare to ours.

That’s false. The school has more money but not the athletic department. The athletic department has roughly the same amount as LSU.
They have more donors who give to academics than LSU but that money can not be used for athletics.

Of course OU has money. Anyone that thinks they're some struggling AD is delusional.
They just extended Riley last year though. I'm sure they're not keen on extending him every offseason just to keep him. Riley took over an 11 win team, they're probably of the mindset that they can find someone to do the same.

They likely have to spend a decent amount more on recruiting since they don’t have quality in state recruits. Texas isn’t far obviously, but New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Monroe, Shreveport are all within 4-5 hrs of each other.

There’s annual football program budget numbers, annual profits, and overall university finances. It’s all pretty confusing, but it’s hard to see a huge difference between the two universities.
