re: Bayou Traditions is embarrassing

LSU needs to put forth at least a little effort if they really want thousands of small money NIL donors. What they're doing now is pathetic.

And we all know someone from the athletic department is tasked to fine tooth comb this board. OP has a novel idea. Listen to the people!

I honestly just dont see the point of donating my hard earned money to pay college athletes. I’ll just keep my money for myself and my family.

That’s how I feel. And that’s how many if not most LSU fans feel. But those of us who feel this way really oughta understand that a smaller player payroll will mean a less talented team. It takes money to win.

Tell LSU to act like they give a damn if they want a successful football program.

How hard would it be to crank out QR codes and have them around tailgates and gates at the stadium that go to the nil page.

No thanks to being pandered when at the game. Get that enough while driving to it.

No one is forcing you to scan it. It’s absolutely smart business to have it all around during game day while people are tailgating.

You want people to donate, you talk to them or make it easy to do while they are around.

A smart move would be take the golden girls, cheerleaders and others out and about and get them to help drive donations.

LSU is the most uncreative and slow to react place in the country. Scott had NILSU videos made and acted like we were ahead of the game, then blames everyone else screaming the state tied his hands up and didn’t allow us to build our collective. No other school thought NIL would really be NIL and the Texas, Texas AM, bama, Ohio state and even ole Miss weren’t caught flat footed like us.

At least we have the moral high ground though and we tried to use NIL like it was written, not like the clear path it was going to take.

LSU has never been good at marketing and getting donations. There was a time period where TAF had it pretty locked down but it looks like they have lost the way.

Thus sums up the fan base pretty well

I believe that if you trade a good or service for a donation it’s not tax deductible

You can deduct the difference between the donation amount and the market value of the item/service.

Then don't donate if you don't like it.

What a stupid arse response. He wants to but they don’t make it simple. It’s a completely valid complaint.

Why would it be too hard for LSU to just make a damn functioning website that is easy to use? You want people to give money you should make it as easy as possible.

yeah kind of sucks but its just such a dumb, broken system

You have a coach making 10+ mil a year up at the podium, hat in hand, telling people they need to help pay for talent. I get its what must be done if you want to compete but I also don't blame anyone disgusted with the situation and not wanting to participate

at least when donating to TAF to build facilities you were seeing what you were paying for. This is just a slush fund to throw at an 18 year old that may or may not suck or could transfer out in a year.
