re: Men’s BBall invest more into NIL

The money is not coming from the same pot & it’s not a “2M difference”. I’m assuming with the recent influx of NIL funds for football, we already have and extra >$1M sitting in Bayou Traditions collective waiting to spend on basketball. You can’t convert that $ to use on a coach’s buyout.

Great!

If it is already there ready to be spent by whoever the HC is for the basketball team (be it McMahon or someone else), then go to your boosters/donors for the money necessary to make a coaching change now since you already have the NIL money sitting in the coffers. Let someone else spend the NIL money. Why let the failed CEO waste the money? Or is nearly 100 games of data not enough to judge McMahon on just yet?

Sure it’s possible the “NIL excuse” is BS & they’re just waiting to fire him next year but I find that hard to believe with how public it’s been

That is the beauty of NIL. There is no way to accurately validate it. There is no public database outlining exactly how much money is available for NIL, how much is spent, or where it is directed. It's all speculation and estimates. For example, if the owner of a car dealership wants to contribute $500k to a player on the basketball team the only way we, the public, knows that amount is if the owner and/or the player announces it. It's not like employment contracts in pro sports where the teams disclose the terms to the league. You can say there is "increased NIL money, but no one really knows if that is true except the player and coaches."

Based upon 3 years of results there is NO justification to retain McMahon. Particularly in a year where LSU was only one of the two teams in their conference to not reach the NCAA Tournament. The AD is smart enough to know that. So he had to come up with something to justify an otherwise objectively bad decision.

The reason why McMahon is staying has been addressed ad nauseum and it has little to do with anything on the court.

Only 3 players staying at Robert Miller, Damion Collins, and Jalen Reed

we should not invest money into a dude who obviously can’t coach

Then you should invest money into firing him (buyout) invest more money into hiring a new coach then invest that money into the new coach all with no assurances that he’ll do any better.
Also, who are the available coaches that will turn it around in 2 years if given the same resources as MehMan?

Drake's HC (who, unfortunately, was just hired by Iowa) won nearly as many SEC games (2) as McMahon did this year (3). And he did it with several players who were D-2 players last season. Even in LSU's destitute state I suspect they could afford a few D-2 players to join that guy.

Kudos to the AD though. They have convinced enough gullible, non-critical thinking people to believe the abject failure that is McMahon's tenure is not really his fault. It's because LSU was too cheap to buy expensive players.

By June or so this will be year 4 of McMahon's "best roster ever". So good, in fact, it will likely be picked to finish last in the SEC.

The NCAA has zero power. Open up your eyes! You live in la la Land. You’re like a Dem that only watches MSNBC.
