Appease the sky screamers that don't do shite for the university and piss off all the OT Ballers that keep TAF running. Hmm, I wonder why they lost millions. Just a microcosm of the country.

I see you playing this off as being due to the China Virus hoax. It’s not, LSU has turned into a leftist cesspool.

Ya hate to see it happen

I've been a tiger my whole life and I hope my kid wants to go to USL.

Covid is such a bullshite excuse companies are using for unhappy employees and business loss. People are blowing money on frivolous shite like never seen before, and they are putting effort into not funding activist bullshite.

Only circumstances I’m talking about is unprecedented financial hit to athletic department/TAF, regardless of the reasons.

Seems logical to me given financial setbacks to cut out some optional non-athletics-related expenses.

Isn’t the word athletic in the acronym? Why would they support non athletics scholarships to begin with?

Imagine that. You spend about 8 months demonizing the very donors who help the athletic dept deliver an elite college experience for all students.

Then you botch many of the coaching hires/fires of the past while having to pay millions for the failures and horrible PR results.

Then they double down and continue to shove a liberal agenda down the throats of all LSU supporters via social media and all other marketing efforts. Sucks for them.

TAF/LSU is stupid if they think their loss of money is all due to Covid. They better wake up and realize it’s more about the woke shite and somebody better get that under control and put a stop to it. Until then, I hope the donations keep spiraling down.

Some people just don't understand what stop support ing means. They think a facebook post or griping on here is doing something. But obviously TAF is feeling the hurt so most LSU supporters are doing it right. We'll come back when this woke admin is gone.

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.

I agree with this 100%

Why tf would they give O that huge contract post natty? Did they really think another school would try to outbid LSU and take him away?

What precedent did they set so that if he wins other, will they give him an even bigger raise?

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...


And yet kids on here think they can just buy out all of these contracts when the program barely makes money and without fans will lose it again this year.
