Louisiana’s athletic budget

[Big Poppa]

I hate to beat a dead horse on this one but boy did Scott Farmer screw the pouch when it comes to facility improvements. The football stadium should have been the first stadium upgrade on campus. Then worry about your lesser money generators. Pretty sure Maggard has said that as well.

The bulk of the deficit is artificially generated by the pretend "cost" of scholarships.

great point, and would likely be completely wiped away and a surplus added if we had the pretend “cost” of “student fees” added in at the level others get

p.s. arent stadium projects (as well as “master plan” type items) completly separate and not part of annual budget?

for ex. in military the DOD appropriation is one year $ for ops and maintenance but multi year for procurement and for building things on base it is five years and in a completely separate appropriation

Just gonna drop this here. How are we gonna remodel a football stadium like this?

How do you get to this point? Do we have anyone looking over this? This seems like a lack of institutional Control!

An extra, cool million from Baylor would have helped quite a bit.

One has nothing to do with the other. The stadium project has raised corporate money and it's moving forward. The larger concern is our Bond Rating. With a number of campus projects that were funded through the sale of Bonds under Dr. Savoie, we simply don't have the capacity to much more because of the university debt limit.

Project has been approved for construction. We’re a go. Increase your contributions boys and girls.

Tried to ween ourselves off of the state teet and lean on the private donor base to supplement funds.

Don't be surprised CF reno is put on hold indefinitely. There is a reason this project keeps getting delayed. Read between the line's folks!

Care to enlighten us that have a hard time reading between the lines...

Can anyone provide a brief overview of the reason for the large difference in expenditures between us and Tech? Are we paying more in salaries, cost of attendance, facility operations, etc.?

US Government policy on spending money. Spend & just print more money.
