Or is your reading comprehension so lacking


My reading comprehension is fine. Your post sai women’s basketball doesn’t lose money. I posted a fact showing it does lose money and quite a lot actually. I have no issues with them losing money as it wouldn’t matter who is the coach. I would rather them have Kim and win than someone who doesn’t.


Same with baseball. It’s going to lose money. Jay, his staff and NIL are worth every penny.

Can pretty much guarantee that if journalists are doing arithmetic, do not believe a word.

Seems to me if this was accurate, they would have increased ticket prices

When Tiger Rag has something to say it’s usually negative about Lsu that woke bunch of losers can kiss off

Great article.
Very informative.
That's what journalism looks like.
And WAY TOO LONG for the common everyday Ranter that have trouble comprehending a sentence or two. (They still drunk and/or high from the previous night and simply can't handle all those words)

Congrats to those that read and understood the entire article.

Hey, first recommended LSU Athletic Department cut to save a few bucks: Eliminate "Piped-In Devil Music" and exorcize the "Demon Possessed" individual that runs the Tiger Stadium audio board. Nobody wants to hear that shite any longer. It's College Football, not the NFL. Let TGBFTL PLAY THE ENTIRE GAME!!!

Verge is doing damage control why we don’t fire MM. If we don’t fire fire MM it’s due to donor fatigue and probably means LSU men’s basketball nil budget will be tiny

It said boosters couldn’t buy out BK because the state is obligated, but they went on to say boosters help buy out Orgeron.

I was considering reading the article, but if this is really in there, there is no need.

The state will not be paying Brian Kelly anymore than (at most) the ~$400k he was owed yearly.

Jay isn’t going anywhere. LSU baseball has a NIL war chest of 3+ million.


Actually surprised it isn't more than that. I would guess top pitchers and high draft picks aren't cheap

Sounds like the people worrying about CJJ and baseball can relax a little and the "fire Mulkey, she costs too much" crowd will be crying themselves to sleep tonight.
Also brings the horrifying possibility that McHallman might get another year.

Yall better hope that nightmare doesn't materialize into blatant reality.

Maybe not directly, but LSU received money and pledges to offset the buyout money.

I read 80%. Funny all of the anonymous donor quotes are negative in nature. Some are former “boosters”. I’d take most all of it with a grain of salt. They are getting the money as seen but the football coaching hires and player acquisitions. G. McKernan was on Moscona’s podcast this past week saying the $40 million payroll is sustainable and will go up.

How can that be true? His base salary was $400,000 per year paid by LSU, from public funds. Most of Kelly's supplemental pay comes from the Tiger Athletic Foundation (TAF), which is funded by donations and self-generated revenue from LSU athletics.

It’s not true it’s bullshite.

This is another bs outrage piece to shite on lsu, as its Guilbeau the dildo’s favorite pastime, and probably to apply pressure to keep McMahon.
There’s so much wrong with it.
