We also forget that they hold the patent on jorts. The 90s alone boosted there endowment.

I do too, but I got a ticket I agree they should do it more often. LSU has often balked in the past because of getting concession and cleanup crews, etc... Just laziness but now because of budget cuts LSU athletics is forced to get a little creative.

For the concert event, LSU is selling parking passes for cars and RVs, plus concession stand profits. From the documents I have read, LSU is encouraging tailgating for the event too.

Which is basically spring game festivities for a lot of schools like FL and Penn State. They are huge alumni events and a carnival type atmosphere on campus (thus 90K + fans). LSU simply doesnt care but FL and Penn State generate an incredible amount of money on Spring Game from alumni donations.

A friend of mine and I are arguing over who's athletic dept has the most money. I say LSU, he says FLorida.
The fact that you don't know it's Florida is alarming.

This may be the decisive factor in my opinion.

I wouldn’t say that, maybe just ill-advised.

I suspect UF has the advantage in football and basketball, while LSU clearly has the advantage in baseball.

Sorry, Big Ten fans, but the SEC has trumped your conference yet again. This time, though, it didn't happen at a BCS bowl game. This time, SEC teams are invading the Big Ten's own turf -- and storming Big 12, Pac-10 and ACC country while they're at it.

This fall, the conference that's captured the past three national championships will begin an unprecedented assault on our nation's television sets. The 2009 season marks the beginning of a new 15-year, $2.25 billion contract with ESPN, which coincides with a 15-year, $825 million deal with CBS.

Come on, how could you forget Gatorade! Jordan was one time their biggest athletic sponsor.

You tell that Gator lover and his Tebow loving Wife to get bent.
