re: Who underwrote BK's contract and Woody's contract?

Gd i was unaware how fricking stupid landry actually is. If you ever wanted to completely frick a hiring process this is how you do it. The absolute most effective way possible.

The meddling buffoon going on every media outlet embarrassing himself and everyone involved -somehow unwittingly- is the icing on the cake.

Congrats. You and Landry made us all aware of a problem that doesn’t exist.

What next?

The contracts are signed with LSU. Who pays in the event of a default?

This is like a child's understanding of something. It's as if my kid came up and asked me "If everyone else in the country died except me would I be the president?" True in a literal sense, but not a situation that can ever happen. Yes, the taxpayer would theoretically be on the hook for a coach's buyout if the entire athletic department shut down and had no way to pay. The same would be true if there were a zombie apocalypse and all our donors became infected and had to be put down. Do we need to start writing zombie exceptions into our coaches' contracts?

Little problem there. LSU is a State School

If the concern is that “the state” is on the hook for all of the athletic department contracts rather than TAF, why would there be a problem letting everyone in the athletic department work for TAF instead? Let TAF collect all of the athletic revenue and let TAF be responsible for all athletic costs. No more state liability.

I mean that’s the thing that people are freaking out about, right? That the BOS is listed as the counterparty to the contract? I can assure you it’s not the only long-term athletics contract with the BOS as counterparty.

It's supposed to the the State.

It's Louisiana State University afterall.

So you are saying that boosters signed the contract to pay BK's annual salary?
