re: Speculative Info Regarding NIL Split Among Major Sports at LSU

I agree with this. Jay fits LSU like a glove and is the closest we'll ever get to Skip. It's a tradition at LSU and does profits at times. It's inexcusable to not give him whatever he wants to keep LSU at the top of the baseball world.
Anyways, my perspective on this is there's a distinction between revenue share and NIL. Revenue share matters less if you're heavily supported by NIL endorsements which I fully suspect LSU would have no problem reinforcing for baseball. I just find this very hard to believe.

Bottom line is what you are going to start seeing across the board is schools picking and choosing sports then beating the market by over funding certain ones.
Some big schools will even be basically punting on football to big time fund other sports. It's actually already happening. Will still get their football revenue.

I get it. I understand that the money comes from the ratings. It just doesn’t sit right that another school may be willing to increase their rev share for baseball over one of their basketball programs to lure Jay away and we clearly aren’t willing to do that to keep him despite the success.

So this guy is essentially parroting random sourceless rumors from message boards and passing them off like he knows something.

The Wade/Schroyer/Rousse network is going to bring a lot of funding as well.

Is this the operating profitability math for all LSU sports?

Alexander was told by the program that LSU plans to spend 75% on football, 15% on men’s basketball, 5% on women’s basketball, and the remaining 5% on ALL other sports, including mainly baseball, gymnastics, and softball.
ummm this is the stencil if you will for all of the SEC for rev sharing. This is not nil money.

Not sure why you are asking me but, No, NIL has nothing to do with profitability, it is not paid by the University.
Profitability comes almost exclusively from TV contracts, that is why that football and MBB are the only 2 sports that can be counted on to make a profit and why the AD exists, to support the sports that can't support themselves.

Put a cap on NIL
Who do you propose will put such a "cap"? Let alone one that will withstand any sort of legal challenge? There aren't even NIL caps in professional sports. Nike can pay a basketball player anything it wants. People always bring up the term "cap", but few seem to realize the pro sports with salary caps only have them because the players and owners agreed to have a cap. The owners didn't just unilateral establish one. That would be an antitrust violation. The MLB doesn't have a salary cap because the players have never agreed to one. You're like to see an MLB lockout this winter because of that fight.

stop spending 10, 20, 30 million rosters
That's fine. But don't be upset when LSU isn't signing top talent because their competitors are fine with 10, 20, 30 million dollar rosters.

I’m all for “NIL”, but I’m not all for 5MM QB’s. It’s unsustainable and retarded giving 18-20 year old kids millions of dollars.
If there is a market willing to pay an 18-20 year kid several millions to (in effect) play football, basketball, baseball, etc, then why shouldn't he/she be able to earn such money? No one complains when a 18 year old HS senior signs a multi-million $ contract as a 1st-2nd round MLB pick? No one complains if a 16 year old sounds a multi-million record deal
The NCAA and member schools buried their heads in the sand for decades as college football and baseball continued to become multi-million entertainment BUSINESSES

Everything right with hiring Kiffin and hiring Wade and firing them the money they need.

If the program is losing 10 million and not even making final fours then they shouldnt get much of any revenue share
There is no parity at all in womens basketball
Elite 8 is basically a yearly guarantee with their NIL money

n the grand scheme of things, $2-3 million more for baseball is a drop in the bucket. With the crazy numbers being thrown around for all of the LSU Sports, LSU needs to find the few extra dollars to keep Jay happy along with doing everything possible to stay ahead of the competition.
I can do this quite easily ur some ppl won’t like it.

This. For as much resources as we put into it, our results on the court the past 3 years have been quite disappointing.

I also have to believe we won't be paying the full buyouts to Kelly and McMahon. Kelly will eventually quit "looking" and retire. McMahon will find another job

This tweet is a load of garbage because they are conflating rev share with NIL dollars. If Kim is able to generate NIL funding for her program to exceed $15 million (which i truly doubt) then that is the decision of the WBB donors. In the same way, if Jay wants more money for the program, then it is up to the baseball donors to put up that NIL money. The extra 5% from rev share is not going to be the difference between jay leaving and staying. People love to throw around Miss St for baseball spending. According to their revenue reports from last year, they spent $7.6 million, LSU spent $9.3 million. Also Texas AM keeps getting brought up as a potential if Jay leaves, yet I have not been able to find anything to suggest that A&M is following a different rev share percentage than LSU (or the majority of the rest of the SEC/country for that matter)

She has her own donors. No matter how you feel about WBB, Mulkey is a winner and a force to be reckoned with.
I agree, but if the school is still footing the bill to the tune of $5,000,000 worth of losses financially, they need to cut back. If she can raise sufficient revenue personally, awesome.
