claims there is “something more” to the story of his daughter transferring.
I've noticed this is a theme when they get pushback/called out for a decision they make. When they don't get the response on social media that they want or were looking for, it turns into "well you don't know the full story" when the full story is literally just that they're chasing a bag that they're not going to get. Not the first player we've heard it with and probably won't be the last

When people say this do they forget coaches do this shite literally all the freaking time? Yes the grown arse adult gets to lie to the 20 year olds and everything is okay, but let a 20 year old, in the age range where most indecision and impulsivity happens, change their mind on their future plans, and people act like it's some new age thing that shows lack of character.
You play the game how it goes. Sometimes your side wins and sometimes the other side wins.
The difference is a coach is contractually obligated to a school. If they choose to leave, the school has a buyout in place which they can then use to get another coach. If a player decides to hit the portal, you get nothing. Theres no trade, no buyout, nothing. Just an empty roster spot that you weren't prepared to need to fill because you were lied to by the player. College athletics is the only league where a player can essentially be a free agent every single year with no contractual obligations, teams have little to no leverage, and any attempt to provide the school leverage is met with lawsuits.

I will never understand this. You go to a very talented team, but then fricking bitch and moan that you have competition for a starting spot BECAUSE THE TEAM IS TALENTED. But then if the team sucks, you hop in the portal anyway because you "want to play for a winner"
And then the best part, when they or the agents or the shitty parents that are just milking their kids talent for every dollar they can get get called out on their bullshite, its "bUt ThEyRe JuSt KiDs"

If Kim ends up retiring earlier than expected, its not going to be because anything with will wade like people tried to make up. Its going to be because this is the shite that coaches have to deal with in college sports now. A true freshman plays a bunch, is on a winning team with tons of fan support, and is expected to get a ton of playing time moving forward tells the HC that they are staying and then one week later changes her mind

That's exactly what choosing means
Again, if donors, who have the freedom to choose what they do with their money, choose to fund WBB over baseball (which again I don't think is a decision most boosters are facing) that would disprove OP that no one cares about WBB over baseball

This is what I've been saying. If Jay or LSU fans feel that the baseball program doesn't have enough money to get players, then a few percentage points in the rev share isn't going to change that (rev share is capped at $20.5 mil. Lets say baseball gets an additional 3%, thats $615,000 or 6% of their current expenditures not including NIL). Their issues lies with their donors. And I gurantee that WBB donors are for the most part not the same pool of donors as the baseball donors. So it sounds like the baseball donors need to nut up.
And lets just pretend that the donor pool for the two is the same and the donors only have a limited amount of dollars to give out and they choose to give it to womens basketball, then not only is that their decision but that also shows that OP is completely wrong

Its sad that this is where we are at with college sports. As lsu fans we should be rooting for all programs to be successful and represent lsu well. Instead this rev share bullshite has people fighting eachother over which programs we should defund over a few rev share percentage. What the frick are we even doing anymore
re: UNC to hire Michael Malone
Posted by Aforem7 on 4/6/26 at 1:01 pm to longhorn22
Other than age, how is this not similar to the belichick hire? A successful pro coach who was fired from their last job and has never coached at the college level or recruited? Maybe im missing something
What a weird hire. Has never been a HC at the college level. Has no ties to UNC. Has been in the pros since 2001. Did they learn nothing from Belichick?

Who cares what the national audience wants. I care what LSU fans want. I’m pretty sure at LSU, there are more diehard baseball fans than women’s basketball fans.
As someone said in another thread, big money sponsors dont care that LSU fans specifically care more about baseball over WBB or vice versa. They care about marketing and views on their product or logo. So "who cares what the national audience wants"? The large corporate sponsors and TV media rights that fund your athletic department

re: Speculative Info Regarding NIL Split Among Major Sports at LSU
Posted by Aforem7 on 4/6/26 at 12:24 pm to JayWalkTiger
This tweet is a load of garbage because they are conflating rev share with NIL dollars. If Kim is able to generate NIL funding for her program to exceed $15 million (which i truly doubt) then that is the decision of the WBB donors. In the same way, if Jay wants more money for the program, then it is up to the baseball donors to put up that NIL money. The extra 5% from rev share is not going to be the difference between jay leaving and staying. People love to throw around Miss St for baseball spending. According to their revenue reports from last year, they spent $7.6 million, LSU spent $9.3 million. Also Texas AM keeps getting brought up as a potential if Jay leaves, yet I have not been able to find anything to suggest that A&M is following a different rev share percentage than LSU (or the majority of the rest of the SEC/country for that matter)

Whatever "source" youre listening to is getting their info from mascona who has been carrying mcmahons water for the last few years. From what I have gathered they are friends. But at first mascona insisted he was a good coach, he was just in a terrible spot bc of wade. Then he insisted the team was terrible because they didnt have any NIL. Then he ran with the narrative that mcmahon is a good coach, just unlucky. Now hes pushing that lsu doesn't have the money to fire him. I think mascona just needs to be prepared to lose his buddy at the end of the season because its happening no matter what shite he tries to push out there
I am going to go with Mcmahon from Wade. Not necessarily from a player perspective but from a fan support perspective. Mcmahon was taking over for a successful coach that was loved by the fan base and who the fans felt was wrongly ousted. Mcmahon hasn't done himself any favors with the abomination he has put on the court, but he was kind of like the step dad after the divorce that the kids don't really like. But now the fans are begging for any life at all from the head coach or the program, so the next guy if he shows even the slightest bit of fire or enthusiam and success on the court, our fan base will be in a frenzy for him
Just wanted to drop in here and say that I was interested to see how bad Mcmahon has been historically in the SEC. From what I found, out of all coaches since the 1940s that have coached for an SEC school 4 or more years, Mcmahon has the second worst SEC winning %. Currently the only one with a worse record was Tom Crean at UGA. If Mcmahon doesn't win another game, they will be tied
So yeah, he's THAT bad

I think the real holdup at the moment is from the developer holding out until they get clarification on the sales tax issue.
I agree. Which I think is ridiculous because it comes down to a frivalous lawsuit claiming that voters within LSU's campus did not get to vote on the tax. I have yet to wrap my head around why individuals are able to register to vote with LSU as their permanent residence. If people want to bitch about something with this project, bitch about the fact that this litigious state is filled with grifters who jump on any opportunity to get a payday and their name in a news headline at the cost of holding up projects that can actually better the community.

I believe future phases do end up developing the rest of the golf course which ends up butting right up against the Freds property, but all new development like this is going to do is encourage private developers to come in and buy up the shitty apartments in Tigerland and redevelop into something better. Right now there is absolutely no incentive to do so and so slumlords have taken over the area
This board never ceases to amaze me. We have a developer who is willing to come in an put up the funds to develop a new arena and entertainment district and lease it to LSU. That same developer is a partner with Ticketmaster and thus can just about gurantee entertainment bookings for the said arena. That same developer has also already developed a similar arena for another SEC school (UT) and just announced a partnership with another (Vandy). And yet in one thread we have:
- Complaints that LSU and the state should just spend $75+ million redoing the PMAC (which still wouldnt be able to accomodate conerts)
- People suggesting we redo the cow palace and play there (which hasn't been used for anything outside of livestock shows since probably the 80s and would cost into the hundred millions to just get it up to code to host any event)
- People complaining that the new district will be "just another Perkins Rowe" as if a dilapidated golf course is better
- People essentially complaining that its still Baton Rouge and thus will have riff raff (LSU isn't picking up and moving to St. George or Ascension Parish anytime soon)
- Arguments that BR still wouldn't get concerts (which I believe to be false) and that its a waste of money (but again, its not LSU or the state's money)
People bitch about literally anything under the sun
