Not sure how anyone can downvote this sentiment. Excluding baseball from a rational distribution scheme is ridiculous.
This. It has nothing to do with taking money away from football or men’s basketball. It’s about baseball getting the same revenue share as volleyball and soccer.

He's clearly not satisfied with LSU's commitment to being the best program in college baseball. Hopefully, that is rectified.
meh this is also kind of bullshite.... Others are spending more because they have to in order to catch up. Maybe he can go somewhere with a slightly higher budget but that job will likely have more obstacles than recruiting here and said budget will likely always hinge on how the other revenue generating sports are doing.
I'm a huge Jay fan but can't say I've cared for all the belly aching he's done about his budget recently, you're still better off than 90% of the college baseball world and you're unranked. This season's struggles appear to be evaluation errors over spending shortfalls
Relying on the portal is expensive, especially when you're LSU and guys know you can be used as leverage to increase offers. Jay or his admin may need to get more creative in finding other revenue streams vs asking LSU to invest even more than they do in a sport that still loses money despite its success.

This is not reality at all.
Football 75%
Men's basketball 15%
Women's basketball 5%
Everything else 5% combined
This is based on the revenues each sport generates, specifically from tv revenue. You can argue about women's basketball spending and I would tend to agree, but they're not going to cut off support for the only successful women's program that actually has a media rights deal, and football and MBB aren't giving up their shares, so again...
Jay or someone in the AD better be hitting the bricks finding legitimate NIL deals for baseball. Sounds like Jay doesn't want to, so someone in the AD better get to it if they want to keep him.

It's based on the guidelines given out by the conference. TV Revenue is only applicable to Men's Basketball and Football.
It's not based on the revenue each sport generates at LSU. Baseball outpaces WBB in every revenue category and spends less on coaches and travel despite having more student athletes.
The rev share for WBB is about optics.

He gone

Watch until the end. His last comment was essentially that he knows he would have to cede control of managing the game and would instead become a facilitator. That aint him.
So I think this is a nothingburger.

Griping about revenue share is pretty pointless IMO, Football and MBB are always going to get the overwhelming majority of the distribution due to the actual profitability of the sports.
Even if you gave Baseball its own 5% share and moved WBB into the other 5% all other sports share, you’re only talking about ~$1 million a season divided by your entire player roster. LSU Baseball has millions more in NIL than that.

Did u listen to the entire answer? He basically poured cold water over the idea as Jay would never relinquish the duty of setting the lineup.

Jay ain’t going anywhere. Dude has the keys to a Bugatti and knows how to drive.
I used to think that until watching that interview.
He literally said not to long ago that LSU was the best job in ALL of baseball and he’d never leave. To this response today That sounded like “yeah I’m out of here once the right MLB team calls.”
I’m concerned now he may not be here as long as I thought.

He did, but I could see a world where Jay and the Ivy leaguers collaborate and come to similar conclusions. He's as sharp a baseball/stats guy as you'll find.

You dont know his career goals.
Posted on 4/1/26 at 2:44 pm to LSBoosie
I absolutely agree with you. I just don’t find it shocking like some that he would have interest in the future. College has a ton of drawbacks too that you don’t deal with in the big leagues.
Posted on 4/1/26 at 2:50 pm to LSBoosie
I feel like it’s a pretty clear ultimatum: give me the resources I need to be #1 or I’m going to try the MLB.
Hopefully we give Jay what he’s asking for and we should be fine. I thought I saw we approved a new player facility. That’s a start.

Maybe so, but don’t we think there’s enough baseball fanatics of LSU that if push came to shove that they could raise enough.
I believe that there are some $$$ boosters that love LSU baseball more than football/MBB/WBB. IMO it’s a different crowd, it’s not as sketchy as Football/MBB. Now the Admin wants to make money in the other money profiting sports but to me there’s a private entity of $$$ that just love baseball more. Surely we got some Alum that make crazy money from their sport that might give & if Skip gets involved it’ll be taken to a whole different level. The only schools that can go crazy $$ on baseball as a threat to LSU is the Texas schools.

LSU Women's Basketball pulls concurrent media rights revenue both from the NCAA and SEC.
-NCAA signed an 8 year, $520 million deal in 2024 for the women's NCAA tournament
-SEC signed a 10 year, $3 billion deal in 2024 with ESPN that includes women's basketball under that umbrella
It's just factual on a national stage that women's basketball draws more eyes than college baseball. If what you say is true about the SEC providing the breakdown, then you just proved my point. They know the breakdown of the media deal and who should get what.

Yeah I listened. Do you think that every MLB team has their general manager setting the lineup?

That's nice and all, but it doesn't exist if it's not in the official financial documents they publish.
And guess what, it's not.

I didn't prove your point. You're not talking about the same thing I'm talking about.
