So why does WBB not receive profits from Television like Men's Bb?
Their t.v. contract is not nearly as good as the men's.

Have a downvote for not ever looking up LSU AD earnings numbers before.
Nobody ever said they didn’t make a profit. They could make a lot more with a decent program. TV+ SEC -=profit

We don't lose money, we just lose.
It would lose a ton of money if not for TV contracts and March Madness payouts. Shows you how much money flows through those contracts.

LSU Baseball "lost" $921K during the 2025 season
It was hella profitable from the university exposure standpoint!

Jay Johnson making $3M a year probably contributes to this.
Let's ask that again, Does a good advertisement lose money?
Once more for the slow people, Does a good advertisement lose money?

Now then, tell me again how a National title in WBB or TWO National Titles in Men's Baseball lost money for LSU ???

What? I am not bashing or criticizing. I just said his contract probably contributed to the negative. I don't care if they are $2M in the hole, I still love and support them. That a breathe, dude.

Major sports make money…. Minor sports lose money. There are only 2 major college sorts.

Many people have posted that baseball makes a profit and brings in more money than basketball. So don't say that doesn't happen because it does over and over again.

Horrible analogy. Advertising for what? If a corporation was losing money and paid 3 million for a billboard that would be a horrible decision.

How much of the numbers is strictly form TV rights? If a majority of it who cares then? We have zero control over that.

People are generally uneducated and regurgitate incorrect information.
The real problem is they prefer to wear that as a badge compared to learning correct information.

Never thought that MBB lost money

Care to guess why college baseball doesn't have a lucrative TV contract like men's basketball does?????

Nationally, nobody knows or cares about minor sports.

I believe this year or next is the first year their TV deal is separated from the rest of what they call "Olympic sports".

Not saying that doesn’t happen as there are a ton of posters in this board, but I’ve never seen this posted.

Ah the fruits of Title IX

Really cannot wait to go back to WBB being irrelevant so we only lose $4 mil and we can put that extra money into MBB so maybe we can start making $7-$8 mil+
