    In the end, the football budget will grow because basketball isn't dragging it down like it is now.
    As a season ticket holder to both sports (and baseball) I agree with this to a certain extent. However, I don't think it should be the football programs responsibility to fix the basketball program! But if that is what it takes to get the basketball program even just back to average, I would support it.

    A couple of million helps with the stadium overhaul.

    So football doesn't drive the bus, it just has a few sports thrown under it.

    The little thang that "reads" sports news between segments on The Lame this am mentioned the buyout was 30M. That was on the RPEE3 show...

    All in on football until we reach NY bowl. I think the last 4 years commitment to football has already helped all Cajun sports with recruiting and name recognition. The next hire is crucial to continuing the momentum.

    Basketball has the potential for huge payback for this university. It’s not up to football, baseball, or softball to supplement a horribly run program. In business basketball would have been liquidated or shut down because regardless of the potential it’s just a big money pit.

    Kick the ball down the road if you like.

    I never took you for a Marlin lifeline.

    I’m just not going to take football money to fix basketball. I’m sorry we’re still with this guy going on 12 years. His days are numbered. Basketball has to be a booth-strap or a silver spoon.

    I’d relegate it to the same treatment Track & Field and those types of sports get.

    Football, baseball and softball driving the bus.

    Basketball is draining athletic funds already. If a small fix can turn that aground, it will be good for the whole athletic program. Smart people do some things sometimes . . . Face it, basketball is the biggest opportunity to provide repeating revenue at this juncture because attendance is so low now . . .

    Football will be forced to sit on the money and allocate it for future years.

    If they spend it all in one season it would be the worse possible thing for long term program health.

    If banks operated like you suggest there would be no banks.

    Getting basketball back on its feet with money that otherwise would just be sitting there provides the best possible return on investment with football being the biggest winner long term
