This is a great idea. Tate needs to get on the horn right now with Houston based Friedkin group. We'd fit nicely into their portfolio. They already own AS Roma and a second division English club
Zero chance that someone could legally buy LSU.
TAF may be an separate entity but the Athletics department is is still a State entity managed by the LSU Board.

Could sell the naming rights to Tiger Stadium and Louisiana steals the money from the university. About right for La to pull some shite like that.

This is good news, brand names will be in demand by the investors regardless of their location.

Virginia Slims for aTm. Maybe Victoria Secret. Heinz introduces a new product, Heinz 84

If you do this and expose me to more product advertising, you have to at least field a more competitive team and give me the opportunity to buy better concessions for a lower price.

Nah that’s bullshite. Someone in Congress needs to step up. This started with just helping college kids make some extra cash to buy a car or help mom and dad out.
All the tradition and allure of college football will be dead soon.

This is a fast track to the death of the sport. It’s happening faster than I thought possible tbh.

Money is the root of all evil. It never fails.

Except the pros have a goal (Super Bowl), but CFB will be like triple-A baseball, and the only goal is based on self-interest, to get called up.

Soon they'll be publicly traded on the NYSE. Shareholders will be able to vote to oust the head coach, and they'll sell new shares to dilute the stock and buy croots with the funds raised. The american dream.

That may sound good to some programs on the front end, and things will likely look great early on, but once the PE starts looking for the exit, they will cut costs everywhere possible. It’s their typical playbook.

There are already nuclear option plans that would include football programs breaking away from the NCAA AND the schools. Unfortunately, this would be an easy entrance point for PE firms to get involved.
