If your salary is 10k and your expenses are 10k...how much did you MAKE?


Youre asking if I made 10k and spent 10k, how much did I make. I made 10k, fricking imbecile.

FAIL AGAIN


How many is that for you in this thread now?

quote:

500 million a year operating budget.


Mmhmm. And they require athletics to give how much back to make up for their shortfalls? And they’ve cut how many programs because they can’t pay for them anymore? Have how many buildings falling apart because they can’t afford to fix them?

quote:

Look I get it. You're a fan. You dont like the academics. That's ok. But to assume their independent (financially independent means the budget is not commingled due to the fungibility of money) is wrong.


I don’t assume anything and I’m not wrong. Lsu athletics is its own, independent financual entity. You can ignore everything that proves this to be true all you want. Just reinforces the fact that you’re a “fricking imbecile”

quote:

Financial independence allows them to operate a huge budget relative to the size WITHOUT meddling from the usual political forces. Or loss of operating money from other university expenses. But primarily to allow them to operate at a net profit relative to the University. It's a plan both benefit by.


It’s almost like I’ve been saying this exact thing and you e been arguing against it for several pages now.

quote:

But keep assuming your "team" will be there if the university closed


Never once said or intimated anything close to this.

quote:

because they're "independent"


Oh I see. This is where you’re going to pretend I’m saying athletics is entirely independent from the university, and haven’t explicitly stated multiple times that I’m talking about financial independence. Desperate times for you at this point. fricking imbecile.

We need a healthy balance between sports and academics. Both of them should enhance each other and they should work towards the same goal, making LSU a d Louisiana better

And that’s just football. They basically suck at everything else. Bama has a football program not an athletics program.

Would love to hear Saban on a wire. Can you imagine.

Dude doesn’t give a flying crap about athletic accompishment.



If you've ever been in a room where he is speaking to parents of prospective students you wouldn't get that sense at all. It's not his highest priority but he trots it out there in glowing terms as a selling point.

It should also be noted that he is, in fact, a basketball fan. He played for the school he got his BA from and apparently was well know for getting in pickup games while president of Cal Long Beach.

He's right.

We should start by hiring a university president who's qualified to lead a Tier 1 research institution.

This attitude from some academics baffles my mind. One need only look over two states to Alabama to see the huge positive effect that athletic success can bring to the university as a whole.


Or that 04 brought the biggest freshman enrollment in probably about ever. You couldn't even get student tickets without taking out a loan.

F King isn’t even a real academic. He’s never even been a tenured faculty member.

“He got his first president of a university gig after taking over for his freaking dad.

Guy’s actual PHD is in higher ed administration. Let that sink in. His entire education wa purely built around him being given a job he is not qualified for. “

Who is in the LSU hiring cabal that does the hiring?

True statement. LSU is a sports crazed party school that I wouldn't recommend to any student that is serious about their education.

That said I'm just here for the sports.
