Well, if that's what the conference is waiting on, they'll be waiting a while. ND likes to give off this "anywhere anytime" tough guy act, but the truth is if they wanted to join a conference and play a harder schedule they would've done it by now. After all, who wants to ruin a walk in the park that leads directly to the CFP?

That's easy to say when they're not on your schedule! BUT if anyone is scared of LSU...it is certainly Florida. That series was getting a little one sided anyway, best to get away from those cupcake SEC games. Stick to your weight class with Kentucky and Mizzou, maybe Napier 2.0 can get you bowl eligible soon!

Air Orgerons
Bayou Jordans
Nike Boudreauxs
Nike Thibodauxs

That's all

Having a good home schedule and having an easy schedule are two very different things. Arguably 3 of our 4 toughest games are at home, which is helpful... but at the end of the day there is no such thing as an easy SEC schedule.

Believe it or not, LSU isn't the only school with money.

Some of y'all have no clue how bidding works and it's become evident.

Jay got 2 yes but that doesnt make him a better coach than those mentioned

So, aside from championships, what makes a great coach? And what do those others mentioned do better than JJ?

This is not argumentative; I just want to see what your metrics for a good coach are.

It's never a good day to lose a tiger fan like your father. He sounds like a great man. Prayers to you and your loved ones.

We missed on players, not because of money, but because of evaluation. It has zero to do with NIL dollars or the willingness for our donors to spend them. We had the second best portal haul in college baseball last year, and one that fans were raving about all off season.

But AI is free so here's what it has to say:

The programs most often mentioned as the top NIL spenders in NCAA baseball are:

LSU Tigers baseball
Texas A&M Aggies baseball
Tennessee Volunteers baseball
Arkansas Razorbacks baseball
Texas Longhorns baseball
Florida Gators baseball
Ole Miss Rebels baseball
Wake Forest Demon Deacons baseball
Oregon Ducks baseball
Vanderbilt Commodores baseball

The biggest baseball-specific NIL powers right now are probably:

LSU Tigers baseball
Texas A&M Aggies baseball
Tennessee Volunteers baseball
Arkansas Razorbacks baseball

Wade is using this as an opportunity to stick the NCAA's face in the mess they made with NIL/Portal. As well he should, they're the reason his first stint with LSU was cut short. Now he sees that the NCAA doesn't have the power that they portray (see Trinidad Chambliss), so he's gonna take advantage of it. Not only that, but he's in a situation where he can't lose. Best case scenario, he gets a stellar roster. Worst case scenario he makes the NCAA spend a shite ton of money in litigation cleaning up their own mess.

Why the hate? Because the coach is Will Wade and the school is LSU. Same reason Dickie V wanted Wade banished, but made exceptions for his buddies Pitino, Self, Calipari, Boeheim, etc. Wade and LSU being good at basketball went against his status quo. He defended the other because they are his idea of "blue bloods". In his feeble old mind, there's no room at the top for newcomers.

Enough of this. This is just not true. Stop acting like we're losing games because we don't have enough money.
