Re: unless due to injury payment should be on playing in the games

Nicholastiger, I understand why you'd want to tie payment to performance, and maybe you can place a % on things like that. But NIL and Rev Sharing are much more than the time that is spent playing the game. Like, Revenue is driven by ticket sales, which in large part happen out of season...why shouldn't an athlete (star) be able to access their piece of that pie, that they ultimately drove demand for?

Definitely a slippery slope with the inner workings. Timing makes everything precedent.

Agreed. He started to string together a few good plays towards the end of the season. He's one of our most physically gifted players on the team...I hope he takes this summer even more serious and works on his game.

Rooting for Weston Davis this fall!

Read this announcement as "We are Ranked No.1 so much as everyone else has not started competing yet. We will slide, but this is a good measurement of where we are today"

Track program is still a shell of itself, but we have some pieces in places we haven't had in a while, so we should be better. My guess is this is probably a top 15ish roster. Which would be good. Hoping that now we've gotten the big sports out of the way, Verge and team can put money into the best, historically, team we have on campus. (relax before you keyboard warriors start to say why track isn't the best sport on campus...i'm biased)

None of this will ever make me hate Tate and what he did for LSU...I'm thankful for what he did, and how he led.

Rousse seems to be doing the things right that we know about. Athletics. Let's see what happens when adversity hits.

Excited that James Dalton, the Chancellor of the Flagship, is aligned with many of the things that Tate was already doing. We will see a lot of benefits from this as time progresses. Not having to start from scratch and building upon.

Holistic Admissions - Started under F. King, it's gone now.
Alignment - Tate moniker
Athletics as an Advertisement for Academia - Tate shared this philosophy
Academia Boost - Tate saw great advancements
Library - Tate
Dorms - Tate
Academic Buildings - Tate
Stresses of having one person being the President and Chancellor - Tate as the same ones before him, could only do so much.

Tate was just a casualty of an administration change, you guys just try very hard to finger point. He's not here anymore...hopefully our new team of Dalton AND Rousse, will bare great fruit.

Mulkey should call up to Iowa and grab LaSondra Barrett and tell her she needs to come home, stat!

Seimone was a coach in various of the WNBA development leagues. And she was a coach for the Sparks and Lynx. LSU is not her first coaching stop.

It's okay if you don't know ball bro. Not all of us are like you.

But will she? SHE told us out of her own mouth, in her opening presser, this is a stepping stone to get to the WNBA. With the W now expanding, my expectations are that we may see her interview.

Would love to see her stay here and take over though.

Gary was really good at what his role was for us. Was also really good at Player Development too. This is a good hire. All accounts point to him being a good person. Having good people be leaders of young people is a good thing.

Bumping this again.

Jai Lucas - Miami's head coach

Canes are 24-6 this season, after they were 15-17 last year. Lucas is a young coach (37) from Houston (understands the landscape of Texas and Gulf coast basketball), and was on staff at Duke for a few years before getting plucked away by Miami. We can compete with Miami in a bball coach bid. Played at Florida and Texas.

He was hired by Duke...a school that doesn't hire outside of their own. He's a stud. Let's get this guy back in the area where he belongs. The Wade interest seems forced and lazy and asinine.

Is this more a Raymond thing? LOL
