Sad where the state of college sports is at.
My reasons were prior to NIL (complete farce) and the rudderless transfer portal, but that would have sealed the deal for me anyway.
It’s pro sports now. I don’t watch pro sports.
American culture needs a tuneup.

LSU…be the ghetto you want to see in the world.

The blm crap did it for me for sure. These convos make me wonder how businesses get any kind of ROI from the money they are giving for nil. I won't patronize businesses that advertise that they do. As I see them as a part of the problem. All these millions for players is a waste imo.

If enough decent people quit supporting this and handing over money it would fix itself

Why are you hating on LSU in the 80s and early 90s?
I am begging Chicken for an ignore feature so we can mute the idiots like sfp. He knows that even back then the ACT was required, but now LSU is test optional so there is no objective standard.
The "bots" on both sides make this site so hard to enjoy.

Just like at Auburn, when they started charging for tailgate spots, white trash and ghetto rats started occupying areas that were once occupied by cool people that had been there for decades

This^^
The North part of campus and down Highland was once a sea of old school tailgaters. LSU banned that to "save the oaks" and now there is a vacuum.
The whole plan LSU executed to move everything gameday related South is a big part of this problem.

They could start by deregulating tailgating again and stop charging for spots. They ran people off that had been tailgating at their spots for 30 plus years.

Seems to me, more the point may have been, you had something that was once a very laissez faire self-regulating type environment that you’ve now over regulated and nickel and dimed to the point that many of the people who were good at self regulating in a laissez faire atmosphere now just don’t feel like bothering with it all anymore. Perhaps we are now seeing what fills that void.

It’s heartbreaking but that’s what they do. They destroy everything in their path due to learned helplessness and preoccupation with being victims to justify their crimes
Then throw in the corrupt politicians, judges and injury attorneys and you have the perfect storm to destroy a city.

The only thing that can make changes is big donors saying they are out

A lot of it has to do with John Bel Edwards and his LSU appointees, and the lasting damage they inflicted on the school with woke policies. Ironically a lot of the fans complaining in this thread probably voted for him, twice.

You gotta make administrative decision makers uncomfortable. Cancel your season tickets, make a push to get a local news spotlight on gameday issues. Contact local and state lawmakers and get them to start talking about it.
The problem youre dealing with here is the extreme end of the proud LSU tailgating culture of "get fricked up all day". Its been taken too far into an anything goes mentality. Only thing that's going to change it is to police it. Hard. And thats going to result in a lot of changes people don't like. Drug dogs roaming campus. Strict LSU, LSP and BRPD policing of drinking rules. Think Ole Miss policing. Kind of a pain but easy enough to be compliant and the fricked up assholes stand out and get run off.
As i see it, that's the only thing that's going to change it. If you crack down hard and make it known this isn't an anything goes party environment.

Hmm.
So, why was it better when it WAS less expensive and less regulated?
