Over 40 million spent buying out coaches and assistant coaches in the past few years, paying huge salaries w/o ever showing they can do the job very good.


So just like every other major college football program in the country.

hootawoddle my donations generated a philanthropic ranking of less than 900 a few years ago--not a big donor but more than some. I just believe the LSU powers at be should be responsible for getting the most for our money.

777Tiger--I also started donating at the beginning (1990 for me). Worked away for a good while and started back after retiring. You are right, "it is never enough" especially from an individual. You can give thousands a year and your away game tickets will be close to the top

Cause he doesn’t donate enough that itemizing makes sense and takes the standard deduction which is more than his itemization.
Right, I knew that. I just want him to say it.

You’re so comfortable financially that you donate money for a football team. I think you’ll be ok

TAF covers some of the buyouts, but no all. There are powers that be with deep pockets.

That is not coming from TAF donations.

LSU hired a HC that had a 3-21 SEC record at his only prior stint and a had a less than stellar personal history. He was hired by a guy that was also a mess at his previous job.

You have a more competent AD now so let’s hope things are done more professionally this time.

The only thing I hate at TAF is that they add to the tackiness of Alex Box by having an ugly ad on the outfield wall.

I’d rather TAF just donate that money to baseball. Or leave us that one section of blank wall without ads.

The Fact is the top donors are extreme pissed off.
Any one says different does not know any of the biggest donors.

The buyout is not paid by the TAF. Several boosters are paying for it.

No-waste not, want not. Throwing away money usually comes around to bite ya in the arse.
