Like him or not, no one is getting rid of the AD when the 4 revenue positive sports are all Top 10.

Having four revenue positive sports in and of itself is ridiculous. Still needs to go though.

LSU only has three revenue sports:

Football, men's basketball and baseball. Everyone else is a money loser. Not sure where the "four revenue sports" comes from.

I stand corrected - just always hearing about gymnastics attendance on this site. The excellent article you posted (thanks), states that they/we pay more than $1MM in salary to gymnastics coaches? Really?

Also, LSU is one of the few with even 3 revenue sports...

And really baseball, despite the attendance, barely makes a profit.

And LSU loses a million on beach volleyball.

It's an eye-opening article.

It's $3-6 or so to go to a gymnastics meet at LSU.

This one is to congratulate our program.

The one on the SEC Rant is to troll the other fan bases.

Take about 10-20% off there bud.

You had to be in the Smoothie King Arena Saturday night to know what LSU Gymnastics means to the university and state. Money well-spent.

But have you seen the team?
If you’re going to lose money, it may as well be on beach volleyball.

They were in the Citrus Bowl.

The New Year's Six bowls are the top six major bowl games: the Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Peach Bowl, and Fiesta Bowl.
