LSU football financial misunderstandings. Roster $ vs Transfer Portal $

I keep hearing ranges that LSU spent anywhere from $30 Million to $60 Million on this roster. While the high end might not be incorrect I want you all to think about this….
We have players on this team on 1 year deals and we have players on this team on 2-3 year “contracts”.
Both had to happen in the first year in order to build a roster that can compete in year 1 and also build a program that is sustainable.
Think about Lamar Browns situation for example…let’s say last year we had to come up with $5million to secure Lamar brown but that is to be paid out over 3 years.
At the same time let’s say we spent $3 million on a 1 and done player in left tackle JS.
LSU had to raise and secure $8Million between those 2 players. One will start day 1 and one has the potential to be an all American once fully developed.
It is more important to look at the amount of money spent in the transfer portal than it is to look at the overall programs capital demand.
Don’t expect the funding to get larger and larger each year…starting a program like Lane did required heavy spends in both areas. Trust the process

Are you testing out a new schtick as a rational poster, who actually brings something to the table?

How am I doing?
I see you’re sticking to being condescending, belittling and superior to all other posters

Well, my post was actually a compliment. Not surprised you didn't catch that though. It is a very rare decent post from you.

1. Lamar Brown is not guaranteed to be here 2-3 years.
2. The numbers floated aren't counting "multi year" contract numbers.

Do we know this for a fact?
It would certainly be in the schools best interest if they could lock in these deals spread out over 3 years, with % paid coming in years 2 and 3, rather than a lump up front. I just don't know the legalities of doing that.
