Boys, Jim is right about the money $ part of the equation of this clusterf’k.
Not just to each of the colleges and their athletic programs but to cities like Tuscaloosa, Baton Rouge, etc., etc.
Dr. Loren Scott ran some numbers a while back for the city of Baton Rouge when Les Miles and LSU were upon the national championship chase and how much money that brought into the greater Baton Rouge area outside of just the university and it was a phenomenal amount of money,,,hotels, restaurants, entertainment, etc.
There’s a lot riding on all this and how it’s gonna be handled. Right the NCAA and the SEC don’t know whether to scchitt or go blind.
Goid. The first pin in the balloon of "higher education".
LSU’s athletics program, budgets and revenue are apart from the university, proper, according to pundits.
Back when Les Miles was coach and things were roses, the university budget was hit hard by the state government. The athletic department gave the university 12 million$ out of their coffers to “help the university out”.
