Sad that this is ending but TAF leaders thinking downward spiral is all COVID related is concerning.
Hopefully they know there are other factors besides COVID leading to people holding onto their cash...

Personally, my donations went from a healthy contribution (by no means am I a major donor) to the minimum to keep my season tickets.

Bottom line, there are many others like me who are just not happy with the overall direction of LSU sports. Football and baseball in particular. For me, it’s about seeing where my dollars are being spent. I was disgusted with the Pelini situation and the Canada situation before that. I was flabbergasted by O’s new contract, even with no compelling competition for his services, and I continue to be disgusted with PM. I don’t feel like the additional money I’ve contributed is being well spent, so I stopped paying. If things change and we return to the winning ways of old, I’m sure I’ll start back.

TV viewing is so good now as well, hard to justify thousands of donations plus wokeness. not worth it

I know several who will not donate again. I’d rather spend my money on my kids or an actual charity than the embarrassment of LSU leadership.

LSU sports gets any more woke and TAF will see some real losses. Also, what the hell is TAF doing giving money for no athletic scholarships? If I wanted to give money to that I would give directly to the University. If people gave to TAF they want it to go to sports.

This is fantastic news. This is how you force leftists to move on. You quit funding their ability to indoctrinate and spread their hatred.

Count me in on that one. I’d bash the leadership but LSU doesn’t have any.

Seems like pretty reasonable/logical cuts to me given the circumstances.

Great news, get your funding from those you support . The left should be lining up to donate
The left gives nothing but take everything.

TAF did a lot of begging leading up to the 3/31 deadline. I told them NO and NOT again until our leadership does a 180 on all this woke, social justice BS. I can deal with the ups and downs of our athletic programs but I will not support the intentional virtue signaling of the university. What is the leadership thinking? They certainly don’t represent the alumni and the vast majority of LA residents. Time for a change guys.
