yep. Totally went over my head, but I suppose Joe, like Fuente&Co has to try to keep up with the times to draw in new interest. stevebuscemi.gif

LSU's got plenty of booster funding; that's not the issue. A team can't play if the school isn't open. That's the bigger problem here.

Do their athlete's scholarships come from state funding? I was under the impression that it came from donors just like Virginia Tech's do.

Torrian's head is big and chest is small. Love is fading.

This was a good post. I like this post. It's a good post.

Bottle opener...hmmm......

I think that's why everyone seems largely in agreement that this is a political ploy. Forget about the tens of thousands of students who can't go to school, or the economic ripple effect of that, BUT FOR GOD'S SAKE WE'RE GOING TO LOSE FOOTBALL BECAUSE OF IT????

The fact that the university system in Louisiana could actually shut down over this is an absolute nightmare.

A lot of y'all don't seem to be understanding what's happening here. No one is threatening to shut down football, just using it as a specific example of one of the consequences of what will happen if the budget isn't fixed (since it's the one of the few things people in Louisiana all care about). The issue is that if all of the schools shut down, students will receive incompletes, making them academically ineligible under NCAA rules.

LSU Football isn't facing any budget issues (they're actually operating in the black). This has nothing to do with football revenue.
