This screams of a form of selective prosecution or enforcement. Why only LSU or USC? Can we get a Louisiana Congressman to pen a letter to a couple of universities asking for certain responses regarding the political bias of college professors and its impact on the student's education?

You think! Why did they chose to go after LSU now, because they’re angry at LSU hiring away a coach from a Northeast college.

Dems always want a piece of the pie. If you’re making money, paying large portions of money, or working within a financially exempt window they will scream like a pestilent child until they get what they want.
Just look at how much revenue the government is able to generate off of LSU football as a whole. Not good enough though. Not to mention law enforcement agents hired out, service workers, etc. All generating revenue, all paying taxes, all putting money back into the system. Without this mega money machine that is collegiate sports, state and federal budgets would most certainly experience a marginal deficit. It’s in the beat interest of local, state, and federal government to foster the insane growth of collegiate sports- not hamper it with political rabble or further regulation.

i’d love for that Senator to point out exactly which one of the specifically enumerated powers in the US Constitution gives the federal government the power to regulate the salary of a state employee.

Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr. (D-N.J.)
If there is money like that to be made, he wants his kick back for keeping quiet.

Two of the biggest cronies in Congress are attempting a shake down.

What a dumb New Jersey arse....
Roughly 95% of payments are NOT funded by the university....
He's just jealous because college football in the Northeast SUCKS!

One way to address this issue is for Louisiana's entire Congressional delegation, House and Senate, Republican and Democrat, to make a public reply to the NJ Congressman saying he needs to focus on the true business of Congress and to those of his own constituents.
Why don't they ask the NJ Congressman to comment on the waste in the Build Back Better bills, the self-serving corruption hidden in the bill, etc.? Isn't that a more appropriate use of the time of a chair of the House Ways and Means Committee? I'd like him to provide an outline of what is funded in that spending bill, the sources of that funding and an explanation as to why he thinks Congress can appropriate that obscene and immoral level of spending without funding it.

The President's should ask for their Investment Histories.

And our governor, we need Congress to see a united front against this abuse of their power

For as much money as people claim the football program just pours back into the school, it doesn’t show up in academic rankings. LSU is not good academically. All these other SEC schools have us beat in that area.
How is that pertinent to my post or this topic?

Point taken. How much of that money benefits the local community in Baton Rouge? When LSU does poorly with n the football field, so too many small businesses in BR.

Maybe the school gets tons of money from the football program but just horribly mismanages its resources. The football program is elite. The school isn't. I loved Joe Burrow's response to some entitled LSU professor the summer of 2019. It was something along the lines of "what makes the professor believe he is entitled to the fruits of someone else's labor?" With that response he became my favorite all-time LSU player. He then went on to prove that he was the best all-time. Before anyone demands that the football program give more to the school, I'd like to see an accounting from the school. How much of their resources are wasted on useless, politically-driven majors? How many excess administrators do they have? Colleges are becoming scams and they have no business pointing fingers at the athletic programs.

Complete bullshite, LSU is on par with most SEC schools.
That said, unless you graduated from a truly elite school, the value of your degree is based on your field of study not on where you graduated from.

Dear Congress...
frick off. LSU's athletic departmemt is self-sustaining and does not take $ from the University for its operations or the payment of its coaches. It's none of your goddamned business.
Sincerely,
President Tate
