Robert Mann is at it again

And one LSU professor is using this as ammo to criticize the way the university treats its football program compared to its academics.

needs to STFU. LSU football is a $100M monster that is driving $200M in revenue on last year alone. Clerical error or not, CBKs contract is already providing massive ROI.

Besides, CBK has already donated $1M out of pocket to LSU football ops.

Meh, seems like his beef is with the LSU bureaucracy. But then again I didn’t read the whole article or his tweets because

IDGAF.

Pay Kelly more

Cliffs. I don’t want to give clicks if it’s all the same.

The comments from Mann are on twitter. Basically he's saying that he had Legislative auditors up his arse over a few hundred dollars while BK was overpaid a million.

“A former colleague and I have been texting about when we led a study-abroad program & LSU dogged us over every penny of every expense. There are LSU serfs (faculty and staff) — and there is an untouchable royal family (football coaches). Best of times, worst of times,” Mann said in a tweet.

“LSU seemed to start from the proposition that we faculty members were looking to steal from the university by misappropriating a few hundred dollars, while on the other side of the campus the accountants were showering the football coach with an extra million. madness,” Mann said in a tweet. “Also recall when the Legislative Auditor sent someone to my office with a list of stuff I’d purchased with LSU funds. Demanded to see it all to ensure I’d not sold it on eBay, I guess. I had every item, save a book at my house. But the football coach got an extra million. cool”

I have a hunch if Bob Mann wasn’t such an insufferable person he wouldn’t have had auditors up his arse.

WHO GIVES A frick?

The especially sad thing about Bob and people like him is that they don’t realize by making pointless connections and ignoring the real root causes, they only at best keep their problems from being addressed. If not further from a solution.


LSU football, whom they pay, whom they’ve fired and continue to pay, how many operations buildings they build have no bearing on the fact that the schools administration has zero desire to build any new buildings or make any improvements other than new dorms and apartments to boost enrollment and collect tuition.

where he compared LSU’s faculty and staff to “serfs” and its football coaches to “an untouchable royal family.”

Yeah, this only happens at LSU.

It's the way of the f*cking world. It happens everywhere at every college in the United States. Why? Because it brings in WAY more f*cking money and publicity than self-promoting academic frauds like Robert Mann. Hell, just look at what Joe Paterno and the Penn State football staff got away with in Happy Valley.

Robert Mann is the most ignorant, self-righteous, holier-than-thou, complete piece of f*cking filth PRICK to ever step foot on the LSU campus.

Robert Mann is such an insufferable twat. He tries to be the Skip Bayless of academia.

The simple response to Robert Mann and his ilk is that when he can fill up a 100,000 seat venue at $100 a ticket to come watch him lecture, AND entice a television network to pay 1/14 of $300 million dollars to broadcast a semester of his lectures to millions of people nationwide only THEN will he have a basis to complain about how much the football coach makes and the size of the football budget. LSU football is its own separate ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS moderately affiliated and governed by the university.

Mann earns a salary commensurate with the marketplace for college professors. Kelly earns a salary commensurate with the marketplace for a major college football coach. If Mann doesn't like that "inequity", I suggest he stop wasting his time whining about it on twitter and go learn the intricacies of the Tampa-2 defense so he may one day be paid a salary similar to Kelly's.

College professors live in a magical world called "Academia"...which generally consist of a few thousand acres of land and buildings surrounded by reality.
