Last time I checked, LSU A&M was writing the checks — and yes, that money is coming from boosters covering salaries and buyouts. But if they were also asked to pay for all of their own facility and expansion projects, do you really think those same boosters or LSU A&M could still pull off multi-million-dollar upgrades every single year?

If your answer is yes, then explain this: why can’t LSU A&M compete on the NIL stage? Can’t they just ask those same boosters to fork over tens of thousands more to stay “competitive”?

And for the record — if we were firing Des and paying him $100 million not to coach here anymore, I’d 100% oppose taxpayers footing the bill for any new stadium expansion. Honestly, if it were even $10 million, I’d say the same thing. That east-side funding is already in limbo and may never reach the university depending on how the politics shake out, until the money is in the bank, capital outlay funds can be redirected. Right now, the talk in Baton Rouge is about how to keep LSU A&M “competitive” while cutting funds to other state programs. I’m assuming you’re good with that trade-off?

TAF WROTES those checks - sorry but that is not LSU


TAF is an independent, private, non-private corporation - it’s NOT LSU

You have an unhealthy obsession. Baton Rouge isn’t the cause of our issues today. Stop whining and crying about everyone else.

They fund a way larger percentage of their athletics with donors and revenues than we do. Maybe we should focus our energy on how we can get better in that arena and stop crying about other schools.

Keep believing we are on the same playing field when it comes to politics in the state.

But he’s one of our own. How can this be??

I never said we are. I said that LSU athletics pays a larger percentage of its bills with donors money and revenues than we do. We depend on “institutional support”, so let’s focus on what we can do better than so much crying about someone else.

FWIW, Huey P Landry is little more than an attention _____.

this is way to deep for RPCA to get it . . .

It was coined the "Coaches Association" due to the universal reality of arm chair quarterbacks.

Its not the "Construction Association" of course we won't "get it" but it's because the association isn't in deep enough.

Hopefully there is a clause in the buyout that requires him tk live in baton rouge for duration of buyout.... i doubt we coukd even buy someone out since all our coaching moves need to be approved by the board

They have upgraded their stadium like 20 times. Ours was literally falling apart and had no structural upgrade since we built it. The state was going to have to pay for the west side as it was becoming structurally unsafe but you can’t combine state projects with private so
We paid for the west side and the state will pay for the east side, which will be around half the cost.

If they had so many upgrades how can they still not get rid of the corndog smell?

If the RCAF had an unfair advantage over McNeese when it comes to fundraising I could definitely see the state withholding funds elsewhere.

I could see it because they've done it before in hard times.

During WWII only UL had to return all athletic gate receipts to the State.

So TAF signed the 100 million contract and LSU A&M was never responsible for it? I thought his contract was with LSU A&M.
