That's surprising. I thought most of the "big" Div I schools' football programs were pretty much self-sufficient from booster/outside money anyway.

No, very few (athletic programs), most run in the red, there are only a handful of the Div 1 that are actually run like a business. Edit: Granted its old, but this is the most recent one I could find. Here Edit: I meant the whole athletic program, not just football by itself. |

More than likely to cancel education if favor of retaining the football program.

Scare tactics.
I don't have a problem with shutting football down if there's no money, but that shit ain't gonna happen and we all know it. |

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 Notice how this is pared with the largest tax hike in state history. |

If LSU is like the other SEC schools, football revenues pay for all the other sports, plus a tidy profit. They might cut other stuff, but not playing football will never fly. Jindal would be LITERALLY run out of town. It would get ugly.

75% of college students don't need to ever see a classroom/lecture. It a money grab to keep teachers and unions flush with cash. I have had many a person with a four year degree, in debt tens of thousands of dollars, serve me coffee as I took my military/tech school ass to my six figure job. It's a bullshit, outdated system. My buddy is going home right now to study for a biology test to get his Business Management degree
 Who comes up with this bullshit?

Take a look at though, take out the subsidy line and a lot go from profitable to not. Im not saying LA gov is right, its a blatant scare tactic and these numbers I'm sure are fudged to in both directions depending how schools have their athletic departments broken up.

That doesn't seem to be broken down by sport. But even so, it would be interesting to see the football only numbers. Football may have the most revenue, but you can be sure they have the most expenses too. |

LSU, some of the most rabid foosball fans in all of college sports. Riiiiiiiiiight... I think they will have all the money they need for their silly game this fall. STEM classes may not get gas for their Bunsen burners, or new equipment for the labs, but there will always be silly games at their institute of higher "learning". |

"The Democratic governor is pushing for tax increases to help make up a $940 million budget deficit by the end of June."
How the hell did they run up a $940 million deficit? Isn't this Edwards (D) first year? And wasn't Jindal (R) the previous governor? |

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.

How in the world?!?! Edit: "the state will face a similar problem the following fiscal year, when Louisiana faces a $2 billion budget shortfall" I wonder if that is on top of the 940 million this year. |
