Did you see how many players are transferring out? It sure doesn't look good.

Are you going to be able to field a softball team? Do we have enough players? Works for 99% of LSU fans. You can’t make everyone happy.

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.

Very few have said this.

But unless you plan on forking over $5-6 million to buy her and the current staff out, then hire a new staff it ain't going to happen. LSU has spent enough money in 2025-26 firing coaches. Beth is safe for now.

LSU is so far from what it takes to accomplish what I just saw Texas do. Have no choice but to be happy with a regional at home at best

It's waaaayyyy past time to make a change! If he feels that way, maybe it's also time for a new AD to emerge and replace Verge!


Like LSU is going to sack their AD over the softball coach. What a dope!

Really? That’s it? That’s all we need? We’re sooooooo close. Give her another extension. No way is recruiting pitchers her responsibility. How bout we just fire whoevers responsibility it is.
