You aren’t fricking paying it so why do you care? The salaries mostly come from private donors. So who are you to tell those guys how to spend their money.

They just don’t like women’s basketball for whatever reason so they’re falling back on the flawed “profitability” argument I’m sure Joe Dean made on a regular basis.

Exactly. If someone wants to pony up donations for a nonprofitable sport, then he has every right to do so. This is America damnit!

Yeah, why should fans have an opinion right? How dare them! Cancel those fans.

Fans should literally have zero opinion on how other people voluntarily spend their money. Yes. If someone wanted to pay $1 billion per year for Coach O’s salary, why would you care?

because any money donated / spent in one place can’t be donated / spent in another. It’s all about wise allocation of resources.

By your rationale, should we not care if the swim coach gets paid $50 million per year?

because that money could be more efficiently and wisely allocated, for the betterment of the program.

This is exactly what they said about LSU spending $50 million on renovating football ops instead of building a new library.

These things are not zero-sum

Different donors have different passions. You don't go to a LSU Law alum asking for them to donate to the music school. They may have people who specifically want to give this money for this specific hire of Mulkey. That doesn't automatically mean another program will get less money.

I don't know, but they sure sound like a bunch of bitches.

They think the money won't be there to hire other coaches. Get real.

They will find a way.

The fact that it's even possible is pretty special.

I just can’t fathom what humans actually care about women’s basketball...

Translation = I can’t see outside of my own experience

That’s the definition of small mindedness

Totally agree!

You HAVE to pay coaches on her level the best or you won’t get them.. $2.5-$3mill will have a huge ROI and it will all be worth it. That’s nothing for the athletic dept at LSU and she’s a top 3 coach in the country!

I really don't care what they pay her but this statement is false in every sense of the word. Many of the folks on here give to TAF. So we are paying it
