re: LSU Athletic Department Revenue and Spending

---

one team spent several days out of town for the conference tourney, then had to travel and spend a few days for the NCAA tourney. the other, well. just one day in Nashville. I'm sure that's not the entirety of the difference in expenses, but that is a chunk.

A couple extra days wherever the women’s SEC tournament was and a couple weekend trips for the team in the NCAA tournament does not cost $8 million.

Expenses From 22-23

Almost half of it is salaries & wages.
“Supplies & Expenses” probably closer to ~$4M currently

Anybody have the 23-24 numbers? (Ah, that’s what the linked article is but I didn’t see the actual report)

WBB expenses increased from 8.8M to 11.8M

McMahon is Niki Fargis' long lost cousin. Cashing checks without results.

Despite being arguably the top baseball program in the country it's hard to make a profit in baseball:

quote:

---

Fiscal year 2023, LSU baseball was close to breaking even after making a run to the NCAA championship. In 2024, Jay Johnson's squad didn't get that close as LSU baseball saw a deficit of nearly $2 million. The baseball team generated $8,021,147 in revenue as it recorded $9,989,478 in expenses.

---

And despite being a bottom feeder the basketball program remains profitable:

quote:

---

McMahon's team spent $10,750,988.

The men's team did generate profit last year at a little more than $1 million

---

Now just think if the administration cared a little more about basketball? Profits could easily double if not quadruple.

We also have a coach that inspires 0 confidence or enthusiasm to motivate boosters.

I agree, but why was Will Wade having to pay players out of his own back account? Shouldn’t boosters have been doing that?

I get downvoted every time I say this but get no legitimate responses.

Because you are posting lies

quote:

---

LSU spends more money on Kim Mulkey and LSU women's basketball than LSU men's basketball, Matt McMahon

---

That is absolutely fricking insane.

This alone means we need to turn the whole athletic department upside down. Ridiculous.

quote:

---

Only 2 WBB teams in NCAA spend more $ than their MBB teams LSU & SC Both finished at the bottom of SEC in

---

There is no doubt that we splurge on WBB and we go cheap on MBB.

We hired a cheap coach, we didn’t pump him up in the NIL race, and we don’t promote our program; yet we compare him to Mulkey!

Mulkey is at the top of her profession and gets paid accordingly. McMahon is 50th in salary. You pay for what you get.

I was being sarcastic, but now that this information is coming out, it's very interesting to see how some will choose to spin this. You're expecting a 3rd year coach to overachieve with one of the lowest NIL budgets in the conference, and now their argument of Vandy and Mizzou is in question as well that they spent 3-4x the money we did. It's very interesting. It's a classic case of posting off of emotion rather than facts.
