Wow why dont you shut up, dude. Dont tell me what to do with my own money, very rude. It’s not your place to say. Don’t come in here all high and mighty talking about church and food banks. It’s immoral for you to do that. You do you with your money. Everyone else can do the same.

You should give your money to NIL instead of Church. You know your money is given to the players you want, giving to church makes you part of the real problem.

You people need to get through your head that IT'S NOT GOING BACK. You can't unopen this pandoras box. It's ok to not like it, but stomping your feet and wishing for the past is only going to lead to us falling behind

If morality comes into the equation, you really don’t want to know where all this money will end up…..

Ok scrooge. Amateur sports (mainly collegiate level) died years ago.

Then apply that to the non-revenue sports that you said don’t bring a ROI. Better tennis team = better program = maybe some star willing to donate to LSU later. No different than Skenes and Bregman pimping LSU baseball or our NFLSU guys representing.

Basically, yes. It doesn't take a world-renown economist to figure out winning championships does indeed boost the local economy.....

Tell me when that existed. LSU does not claim one national championship because of allegations of professionalism. That was in 1908.

Why would I give money to church? So they can continue supporting pedophiles?

The Carnegie report on college sports was published in 1929. You can find the full pdf file with a google search, it's less than 40 pages and pretty interesting if anyone has time. But one of the first things the report outlines, and keep in mind this was 95 years ago

quote:

In the second place, the football contest that so astonishes the foreign visitor is not a student's game, as it once was. It is a highly organized commercial enterprise. The athletes who take part in it have come up through years of training; they are commanded by professional coaches; little if any personal initiative of ordinary play is left to the player. The great matches are highly profitable enterprises. Sometimes the profits go to finance college sports, sometimes to pay the cost of the sports amphitheater, in some cases the college authorities take a slice of the profits for college buildings.
