re: I’m good with putting all finances towards football and baseball

The only part of the fanbase that wants to “ignore basketball “ are the baseball first fans . They view it as a legit threat to their prize baseball program . At some point our administration is going to do the obvious thing and do what every other school in the SEC has done and start investing tons of resources into the basketball program . It makes no sense not to , with the conference now becoming the premier basketball league in the country . Most good schools realize you can be good at all 3 of the major sports , and we have it easy as we are already established in baseball, which is the most difficult to get going as it has by far the least amount of interest in most fanbases. But the fact is we have a small portion of the lsu fanbase that wants a bad basketball program and was glad to see Wade get fired and is OK with McMahons results bc the threat of basketball becoming number 2 is over for the time being . At some point that will change , it’s just a matter of when

I’d be OK with LSU dropping the Men’s Basketball program

Is it possible to do it and remain in the SEC?

You have some of the most consistently retarded takes on here. At least you are consistent.

Those are facts . If every AD across the country had to eliminate baseball or basketball, unless they are on drugs , 100% would slash baseball .

Men’s basketball is the only sport besides football that makes revenue would be stupid to ignore it.


Rampant stupidity is this boards calling card.

Wrong- the money sports which this is all about are Football & MBB. We won the Natty in WBB, sold out or close every home game and still in the red.
Keeping McLoser and increasing NIL is cheaper than firing, rehiring, and NIL$(even with increase). If we win such as a few years back, I want mention W ho W as here because they refuse to believe facts and triggers the McMen backers. Damn straight we are the STANDARD and WE are the Best fans in College Baseball but We are one of the few schools whom makes a small profit. It’s minuscule to what you can make in MBB strictly because of TV contracts of major networks and revenue sharing. There’s is none of this in College baseball. Hell the schools up North don’t give a ratass about baseball. Schools like ULM, North Tx, La Tech make their whole athletic budget off playing Tx, LSU, and Ole Miss once a year in football.
Teams in baseball come here to play us early because of the weather. Everything is about $&$ , I love the Tigers in any sport but the only continuous money makers are Football & Basketball. That’s why we’re keeping McLoser it’s cheaper than the alternative. Two hopes of the Admin are) create a narrative in bball that McLoser needs more money and see if he improves. Second by the end of the NCAA bball tournament WW will be hired by a Power 4 team and then there’s no pressure from fans to rehire. These are smart people running the show, problem is it’s all about $$$ & they think we don’t know what’s going on. If we weren’t King of Kings of baseball the fan pressure on SW would be so high, he’d have to make a move. We Love Baseball & SW loves them too, a majority of the fans love both but SW uses our overwhelming baseball fans as his crutch to slow play this MBB sham.

Struggle session for the mentally stunted

The notion that LSU can’t run with the big dogs goes back to the Joe Dean era. It’s false.

The revenues went up ten percent according to the most recent audit. NIL is pouting in. MBB can help raise even more revenues. Why kneecap it?

It’s yet another illegitimate excuse and excuses are like national titles to this fan base now a days.
