2. Lexington 310,797
3. Baton Rouge 228,895
4. Knoxville 184,281
5. Columbia (S.C.) 132,067
6. Gainesville 128,460
7. Athens 119,648
8. Columbia (Mo.) 116,906
9. College Station 103,483

11. Fayetteville 80,621
12. Auburn 60,258

So unless this is an issue throughout the SEC...

It's gotten so bad, they might have to tap dance around the courthouse downtown for tips.

Small? Compared to Oxford, Starkville, Fayetteville,Auburn, College Station, Athens, Tuscaloosa? Methinks you are all wet. Only Nashville is larger.

A lot of people, including media, think of LSU as Baton Rouge's team and that same insular attitude affects the University's vision of itself. It is limiting, and holds the institution back in some ways.
NOt attacking BR, just saying that that the emphasis is too insular some times...

It’s not about size. It’s how you use the NIL.

I’m pretty sure lsu is in the Top3 biggest cities in the SEC.

Not to mention the only P5 school in the entire state.

The only SEC team in a larger city is Vandy. It matters where the alumni money is, not where the school is.

That is home to several of the largest construction/maintenance companies in the United States that supports LSU athletics. Just walk along the corridors in Tiger stadium and see who leases the suites.
