Threats from a useless turd of a govenor. He had no problem giving all his cronies in state government raises. How about we just cancel all of his fundraisers, se the govenors mansion and move him into section 8 housing to save some money. Bug eyed jackass That Mfer is wall eyed, something ain't quite normal between those ears. Took him all of about 3 days after his inauguration to start his ploy of raising taxes. What a typical liberal dick |

They should start lopping off some of the superfluous degrees and professors if they want to balance the state budget. Chris |

Quoted:
Facing a budget crisis, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards says higher education in the state could be compromised. And that includes the possibility of college athletics in Louisiana being canceled.
...Edwards said campuses could run out of money and be forced to shut down in April, highlighting the LSU football team as one program that could be lost as a result of massive cuts to higher education funding. http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/14764642/louisiana-gov-john-bel-edwards-threatens-future-lsu-tigers-football-tax-proposals-passed Do it! Do it! I dare you! FJBE |

Louisiana budget is a disaster. All revenue categories are down. The drop in oil prices has crippled the state. The worst part is they only have a third of this fiscal year to make up that deficit. Louisiana is in a recession all their own. It really is ugly down there. |

All from tickets, donations and TV revenue. |

This thread is full of derp. The season would be cancelled if classes get cancelled due to a 900 million shortfall. Any player that revived an incomplete will be ineligible to play. There can be no football without academics.
Also there ain't no F'ing way the legislature let's that happen. We will take foods from the poor and shelter from the homeless first. Also being considered for cuts healthcare. If you get dialysis you may only get one treatment a week plus emergencies. GL don't die. |

Governor Edwards should absolutely take action that will directly result in LSU losing a season of football. He will be greatly admired for his leadership, his popularity will soar and this will virtually guarantee him huge numbers of votes in his next re-election campaign. This has all the hallmarks of a well thought out plan indeed. Agreed...Roll Tide

I didn't just mean LSU when I made those comments. Sports will always dominate what America considers a higher education, especially football. Real classes will feel the burn before football takes a hit. Sports should be removed from schools entirely and moved to intramural or city sides. It's too much of a distraction and it leads to a protected class of people within the schools. |
