Because the fact that there is a safety valve of the taxpayer possibly being on the hook and making it all go away was the reason these contracts got out of hand.
Don’t be dumb. The contract aren’t growing because of taxpayers. They’re growing because the sport and all of its major players are making money hand over fist due to TV contracts.
You really need to stop talking at this point.

The sport and major players are making money because if it is all underwritten by the taxpayer, then the business is free to make decisions, costly or not.
And frick you. I will talk if I want to.

Landry has melted more than anyone on this site. He's been running in front of every camera and microphone he can to spew bullshite that everyone knows is false. It amazes me that there are still LSU fans defending him.

Wow, you don't seem to understand anything.
First of all, LSU Athletics is a GOVERNMENT owned enterprise. If someone wants to sign a contract with LSU, they are signing a contract with the Louisiana state government as the employer. You can't remove the taxpayer when the government owns the business.
Second of all, this has always been the case for public university athletics, the money didn't start getting crazy until private athletic associations got involved - specifically with the Nick Saban contract at LSU in 2000. Not the other way around as you seem to imply.

And this is why I say, if it’s tied to the government of Louisiana, then the governor is allowed to speak about it.

If Landry is so concerned about tax payers footing the bill for football why not address the state $ support for ULL athletics? $50 million over the past three years! Same time period for LSU, zero.

The only one getting rich in Carmouche lawsuits is Carmouche.

To any sane person, the governor melting on national media is more concerning than nameless people on a message board bitching about him.

Yea He would know for sure!

The taxpayer does pay the coach through required TAF fees to be a season ticket holder.

Holy shite. Through degrees of separation tax payers pay for everything, everywhere.

Can you buy LSU Football season tickets without TAF fees?

So I don’t have to pay TAF fees if I don’t want to? Got it.
How many taxpayers DON’T pay TAF fees? 99% of them?
So no, “the taxpayer” doesn’t pay for the coach through TAF. People who are taxpayers pay for the coach through TAF by choice. Quite a big difference there.

Both the Governor and Carmouche are correct. Their statements are not mutually exclusive. The State of Louisiana, through LSU, is a party to the contract is ultimately responsible for the obligations that arise when there is a breach or termination by LSU. However, the standard practice has been that in the negotiation and execution of these contracts, the private boosters would be expected to shoulder the burden. This was understood during the negotiation and execution of the contract. The BOS knew this, the President of LSU knew this and previous and current governor knew this.
Carmouche statement about the past is correct, but his statement about the future is only a prediction based on past history. There is nothing that legally requires any donor/booster to pay a buyout fee.

If every bit of donor money dried up, the LSU athletic department would have to cover it. Not the state. That’s the point.
LSU's Athletic Department is part of LSU; correct? So, BK is a State Employee correct? As I said LSU since it is the "State" University, it gets it's funding from the "State". As I said if donations dried up the State would be liable for his buyout. LSU's money, which is technically the States money, would be paid towards the buyout. We know that won't happen, but as I said; once the money is in LSU's coffers it is the States money.
TAF pays him as well, but w/o TAF who pays BK?
As I seaid, they are both saying things that aren't quite true.

That’s true, but it’s entirely within LSU’s control. LSU isn’t going to fire a coach without having the money lined up for the buyout. And the BOS has to approve that firing just like they have to approve any other large contract.
In other words - the risk of LSU firing a coach without having money lined up to pay the buyout is the same as the risk of the BOS approving literally any other large expense without having money lined up.

I love it when people can’t admit when they are dead wrong and refuse to acknowledge that they are making a fool of themselves by saying the governor is spot on with his ridiculous comments.
