Odd day to relase this article..Baton Rouge Advocate on LSU


Dec 25, 2012, 11:36 AM

Witer is not saying it will happen...but shows that there are unhappy folk in any conference.

They cant afford to leave that type of money behind***


Dec 25, 2012, 11:50 AM



flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

all of lsu's tv money reportedly goes back into the school


Dec 25, 2012, 11:59 AM

and not to the football program.

louisiana has pulled roughly $100 million in state funding toward lsu over the last 3 years.

i expect this sort of short-sheeting toward a lot of state schools as tv revenues become too large to ignore. it is income generated. why should the tax payers be asked to pony up when these monies can be used to offset funding similar to lottery dollars?

Good Grief!


Dec 25, 2012, 11:53 AM

They actually pay people to write idiocy like that?

The definition of awesome!

I wish they would leave and we could take their place but I bet FSU would get that slot.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

not saying it would happen, but the 'threat' of it


Dec 25, 2012, 12:15 PM

needs to be real for lsu to affect change.

i would imagine the tv look-in would be a big boon for the big12ish if lsu and a fsu type program joined. they would add $30mil plus just for a ccg.

again, probably doesn't happen, but sitting at the sec table holding cards is better than holding none. the 2 conferences aren't far apart in tv money and lsu's road to the top would be far less treacherous.

The article ended by saying it won't happen.***

The 5 reasons they gave to stay are:


Dec 25, 2012, 12:50 PM

1. The prestige can't be matched
2. Equal revenue-sharing
3. History? Not with Big 12 teams
4. Geography is critical
5. Better the devil you know.

"In the end, the SEC is where LSU will stay", according to the article.

They gave detailed reasons under each of the 5 above reasons to stay.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

ok, is that all you took away? or do you understand the


Dec 25, 2012, 12:58 PM

reason the article is written?

lsu is upset, for the good reasons given and even though they should stay, "It wouldn’t hurt one bit for LSU to do a little saber-rattling to get the SEC’s attention, to give greater voice to its concerns."

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I quoted what it said. Of course it's to get attention. But,


Dec 25, 2012, 1:02 PM

the article ended by saying that when it's all said and done, "the SEC is where LSU will stay".

so you quoted the the writer's conclusion? gratz, you can


Dec 25, 2012, 1:11 PM

cut n paste. is there a point in you quoting what this one writer concluded?

i didn't miss it if that's your concern?

OK, whatever.

I'm not sure what I said to cause the hostility.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

nothing, which is the point. if you have thoughts i'd like


Dec 25, 2012, 1:35 PM

to read them, but if you're going to cut n paste what i just read, i've got to question the waste of energy and bandwidth.

my intent wasn't hostile, it was to push back hoping there was more there than just you showing off your computer skeelz.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Fine. I indicated that there was more to the story than the


Dec 25, 2012, 1:43 PM

hostility? i asked 3 times for reason and got nothing.

if you take hostility from the above, honestly, this might not be the place for you.

They also gave 5 reasons they should not leave.


Dec 25, 2012, 12:11 PM

Their big beef seems to be scheduling. I suspect that when the SEC inevitably goes to 9 games, that might not be an issue.

Re: They also gave 5 reasons they should not leave.


Dec 25, 2012, 12:29 PM

I think everyone realizes the CFA bowl is one of the better matchups but LSU is probably better than UGA, UF and TAMU on a neutral field and all those teams got better bowls. Their fans are not happy and they feel like they get screwed on bowl selection a lot.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: They also gave 5 reasons they should not leave.


Dec 25, 2012, 12:52 PM

Based on what I read, it's not the bowl situation. It is that they have Florida as their permanent opponent.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Florida beat LSU. UGA, based on their game with Bama is


Dec 25, 2012, 12:55 PM [ in reply to Re: They also gave 5 reasons they should not leave. ]

better than LSU.

uga based on their game with scar is a joke. right?***

UGA lost one conference game as did Florida: LSU lost 2.

UGA and Florida deserved better bowl games than LSU.

that's a better attempt than the previous crap.***

Dec 25, 2012, 2:27 PM

This article is stupid. The fans don't want out of the SEC as this idiot suggests, they just want some changes. There is no exit fee in the SEC for a reason. Most would be willing to pay to get in....no one wants out. Idiotic article at best.

Got me thinking.... Exit fees are like non-competes..... Someone is trying to screw you. I have no problem with an nda.... But non compete?
