Why did LSU let Pat Henry leave for A&M?

Didn't want to give a raise to the head coach of a revenue losing program.

Would not pay him more money despite winning so many national championships as track is considered a non-revenue sport.
So now he wins national championships at Texas A&M.

Bertman was envious that Henry stole a small portion of his thunder in the 90s. When he had the chance to bring the big dick down on him, he did. In '04 the athletic department didn't send a single representative to greet the team at the airport after the men and women won indoor national titles. That, plus A&M promising brand new, world class facilities to Henry led to his departure--it didn't have to do with salary. He's getting pissed at them for dragging their feet on his new outdoor facility and is likely to retire if lolA&M doesn't stop fricking around soon.

It was all about facilities. Ours is still shitty.

This is true. I think we finally broke ground though. It was dumb as shite to not keep him happy.
