quote:Maybe no one is willing to pay enough to make it worthwhile??? That'd be my guess. LSU athletics is an absolute whore when it comes to money (not saying that it is a bad thing... they make a lot more money than most schools) and I find it hard to believe they are deliberately turning money down.
Why arent they selling outfield fence signs at Tiger Park? And every other damn piece of the stadium like the Box?

Title IX is one of the most punitive pieces of legislation ever forced on colleges. At LSU it means that the football fans are being held hostage, being forced at virtual gunpoint, to pay for others to have the privilege of playing college sports.
Non-revenue sports should be played at the club level, you want to play? This is what it will cost. Why should the football fans pay the bill for the parents of the women's sports? To give out scholarships to non-revenue sports is ludicrous.
Nothing you can do will make women's come close sports break even, have you watched the basketball? It looks like men's basketball in 1940 played in molasses, set shots and layups, boooring.
Coordinate the men's and women's basketball schedules so they can travel together. This will save money and create better future athletes.
Everyone bitches about the stands being empty at halftime at the football games, the true fans were priced out to pay for Title IX.
Social engineering at it worst.

This entire post is just dumb.^^^^^^^^^^^ 
LOL! Really? Why? Because they don't make money they're not worth it? They add no value to the education experience? GTFOH!
College sports weren't developed for "fans" and Title IX is not why the average fan has been "priced out". The average fan has been priced out because many of the institutions have become GREEDY. Ticket prices are as high as they are for football because the TAF knows people WILL PAY. Don't blame non-revenue sports for that.

Where do you people think the $17M came from??? It didn't come from the DNC, it didn't come from any place but the revenue producing sport(s), AKA football.
You like softball, gymnastics? Good, pay $3000 a year to the TAF and $120 an event for tickets.
