The day before BK was fired he was screaming on a soapbox about how he wasn’t getting fired. Never doubt what Louisiana politics can do when it comes to LSU firing/hiring head coaches

Sounds like he'll end up being 1 for 2, but I would not hate it if he were 0 for 2. I just don't see it happening.

I'm interested in your thoughts on what it would take for baseball to "make money" besides spending cuts.
I wouldn’t make any cuts. The room is on the revenue side.

The fact that there is a long waiting list for LSU baseball season tickets indicates that the price isn’t set right on LSU baseball’s supply/demand curve. They could raise ticket prices until that price point is met. People would complain about the raise in prices, but overall revenue would increase.

LSU was in the red by $921,607. With a stadium capacity of 10,718, you would have to raise the average season ticket price $85.98 to cover the difference. Thats easily doable to be honest. That also doesn’t even consider raising the cost of advertisements in the stadium or permits for outside food vendors.

woodward was justified firing him.
See thats the problem. He shouldn’t have fired Wade unless or until he was FORCED!!

Kansas & Self basically told the NCAA to F-Off & make them fire him. They went on to win the National Championship the following year.

How the frick does baseball not make money?
Collegiate baseball is not as popular nationwide as college basketball and thus they don't have the TV dollars.

How often has a coach been fired from a school just to come back less than six years later?
How many instances did the reasons the coach was let go no longer exist topped with the administration that fired him be gone?

Media: Coach, are you happy here at (insert current school) and do you wish you were coaching at (insert other school) instead?

Coach: I hate (insert current school) and think my players, the administration and the fans are garbage! I wish I'd been hired by (insert other school) instead.

Since WW said something nice about the university that PAYS him, I guess that settles it.

Would you care to explain why college baseball makes JACK shite in TV revenue, or would you like for me to do it?

We were lucky to find a diamond in the rough with Wade and we, in natural Louisiana fashion, fricked it up.
Oh sure, LSU fricked it up. Will Wade fricked it up. You would have preferred to keep him at the cost of the football team?

Yeah, you're a dumbass.
