Can we stop saying we spent $50 million on a roster?

That is the floor for what is necessary to BUILD a top team. There really is no other option if you want to be in contention. It’s not a one time cost to win a championship.

You will have to spend that every year to just build a successful team over time.
Think of it as the ante up to see the cards every year.

I don’t like it but it’s the truth.

People never mention the amount of players they signed vs what they spent. I don’t see LSU having to sign 63 players every year. So naturally, they’ll get better quality players when they are able to sign less.

LSU had to spend because it had less than half a roster last December.

It was a completely different situation than other teams that are in year 4-6 of a coach and spending that much.

College Football has jumped the shark. I would much rather watch and cheer for some good ole baws from "down the bayou" or some wood hauling boys from north Louisiana who really want to wear the purple and gold than today's mercenaries. Now...I'm going back to the porch to yell at kids walking on my lawn.

Then take your picks. ULM, LA Tech, ULL, Tulane, McNeese. They all have what you are asking for.

You can't sit here and say you want to purposely not get the best players, just so you can cheer for "one of us," and then turn around and cry if we lose. There is no having it both ways. LSU needs to recruit both Louisiana and nationally to compete. That's the way it is, the way it always has been, and the way it will continue to be.

Texas, Oregon, and Ohio State spent more than LSU. Texas atm spent about the same as LSU. Yet, LSU is usually the only one mentioned when the media talks about nil.

It's because they see Louisiana as a poor assed broke dick state that want to spend ungodly amounts on football
