Does any other university build superstars like LSU?

I agree definitely a little biased but it seems like LSU breeds big personalities.

Currently broadcaster U

There’s obvious bias but I hear players mentioned on broadcasts as being “from LSU” a lot more than other schools. Any sport. USC used to be a big one but it feels like LSU has had big names in each sport the last few decades. Solid brand for sure and having so many LSU players in media has only helped along with Peter Burns.

And Shaq

How about bama, UGA or OSU

It's a very real thing. It's not just homer bias. A big part of it is how LSU is woven into the identities of current and former players. Hard to articulate but it's a swagger that you don't see or notice as much with other schools now.

In terms of modern history there is no doubt that LSU is a big deal. They can't boast as many random championships from the 20s and 30s but for the past few generations of sports fans, LSU is up there with anybody. Nattys across sports, Heisman winners, award winners across sports, crossover pop culture phenoms, big personality coaches, and media personalities.

If it means more in the SEC then it means even more at LSU.

LSU athletes seem to be more marketable than most.

Its a brand thing. One of the biggest across all sports
