Not donating to kids playing football. I enjoy our team but buying tickets and merchandise is expensive enough.

I was a neck member and donated $50 a month, and then they stopped withdrawing and I do not see a recurring option anymore.


I noticed that recurring option was gone (or relocated and harder to find?) when looking at their site yesterday. I wonder why.

people paying $10/month for a recruiting subscription should give that $10/month to LSU. they would certainly get more for their money. not to mention, recruiting news is worthless. you don't need to pay $10/month to follow LSU.

Sorry but I am not putting money into what I believe is a broken, out of control system. You do what you want with yours though

I'm not sure, but I'm not going to remember / want to login to donate every month...pretty dumb that they removed it.

Then don’t bitch about the team or coach. You get what you pay for.

Why can't every season ticket holder donate $25 or $50 every month to ensure that the product they pay good money to see in person is competitive each week against each opponent


I thought that was what the ticket price was for?

don't disagree. however, i would argue whatever money you're spending on tickets and merchandise would be better spent in the NIL arena.

of course, if you enjoy the experience of the game and such, then i certainly respect that.

for me, i would rather give to nil and then watch a great product on tv. but to each his/her own.

You now have to call the TAF and have them set it up. You can also donate to a specific sport if you'd like. I received an email when the change to TAF first happened that said someone from TAF would be contacting me but never did so I called and they set it up for me

Don’t we already donate?

Let me play devil’s advocate here. LSU spends money like there’s no tomorrow. Are there consequences for bad hires? Is there anybody that cares about the large numbers of employees that the dept. has at all levels?

Wise and I respect it.

What if LSU asked you for $1 or $2 per month? Would/Could you do it?

I believe there are 50,000 LSU fans that would/could pay five dollars or less a month to support LSU's NIL fund.

With that said, fans that have a principled stance against giving those guys even more pay and or benefits is understandable.

I thought we were celebrating the influx of cash we had since Bryce played us?

We subsequently lost Kade to Texas because of their +200k.


Something isn’t adding up.

I already donate, anyway.

I pay about $50 a month for my water bill. In exchange, I get potable water out of all my faucets.
If I pay $50 a month to bayou traditions, what do I get? I think I’ll sink that into my Roth instead.

LSU decided it would be a good idea to throw up bollards all over areas where we had tailgated for over 20 years. They did it with no warning and no respect for people who had been putting in thousands of dollars towards their program yearly.

I cancelled everything after that. It would take a ton to get me back on board.
