Quick question did LSU's insurance cover McNeese lost $3.5 mllion ?

Be nice if we (the powers that be) understood what our insurance covers or not because that is a good bit of $

Why do "we" need to know?

if i know anything about our athletic administration... they don't do anything with money that isn't profitable in the end.

This is such a textbook Rant question/thread.

Season ticket holders were refunded the price of their ticket. If you bought your ticket from a season ticket holder or a random vender you did not

because we (or at least me) pays lots of money to a public university that is in charge of taking care of this money and reporting where they invest etc. They are "stewards" not owners...

This statement is an excellent example of why LSU did not get a new coach and did not build a new nutrition center. There is a difference between the private money raised and/or donated to LSU football, and public money raised by state taxes which goes toward the actual university, i.e. your classrooms, professors, etc. The university is not paying for the football operations, insurance very likely included. That comes from the ridiculous net profit the football program generates year in, year out, which operates separately from the campus itself, financially speaking. Get it out of your head that your taxes pay for the coach's salary. It doesn't. To the original poster, It's possible football has a business loss insurance policy for that situation but who knows.

I think the guy was/is referring to the amount of money he donates and pays for tickets. I could be wrong but that's the way I read it.

thanks, I fully realize TAF is a foundation and under different rules than a public University..Jeeest, not trying to start a big thing, just hoped someone would know, and was not aware this was a "text book rant" but hey my mom always told me I was not special...

Sorry, a misinterpretation by me. Just tired of people confusing public and private money. To your point though, whether that info is available to the public (the insurance policy) might depend on who purchased the insurance, was it TAF? I'd still think TAF would be at least a quasi public entity and that info would be available. If its considered totally private then nerp.

I covered the $3.5 million

Was the least I could do for all the joy that LSU sports has brought me in the past

You are welcome

Can you answer the OP's question or you just chimed in with the bullshite?

I just chimed in, because it doesn't matter what they did. Now do you feel like one of the "powers that be" as well? Or did you just chime in with your bullshite?

Firs of all I never said "I" was a power, can you read? Secondly if you do not think $3.5 million is important fine, that's your opinion and I respect it, I feel differently. As to you math decent point, except I give a good bit more to LSU than cost of tickets, but even if I gave .01 I would want to know...Public university of state I live in, I pay taxes etc.

Look the whole thing is not that big a deal, did we have insurance or not...it's not a "fire Joe" if we did not IMHO, but again IMHO we should have people in the senior level who at least "understand" what our policy covers..the week after the game Joe did not, the UF AD did...

I think it is important, in the same way I think my personal bills are important, but not something that you should worry about, or are entitled to question.

Athletic department is separate from the University, therefore your taxes don't mean squat!
