You been talking to your wife? Cause that's what she called me when I told her it was over...I won't be seeing her anymore. She just loves some of this, how you say it, idiot!

If LSU is going to keep Beth, shut down all NIL money and direct it to football or men's basketball.

I have no idea the dynamics of the softball program, but I imagine they, like other sports have cultivated their own base of fans some of which have particular interest in softball for whatever reason and donate to the softball program. No idea how much I'd be willing to bet there are some.

Like all sports each coach has to cultivate their own donor base. Outside of football no sport is going to get as much as they want from the $20 Million NIL pie. Beth and whoever comes after her will have to do that work - like every other softball coach in the SEC and whoever does it best will get the best players.

I was speaking in particular in regard to fund raising. There are folks who do give money to softball and no other sport....it's true.

And that's not obvious - some folks still to this day seem to think the only $$ our sports teams get is from the $20 Mil Nil allotment doled out from a general fund - which is I know hard to understand but nonetheless it's a fact.
