Very interesting article. Hard to believe you could turn a $57 million dollar profit and find yourself in jealousy. It will be interesting to watch this play out. I just hope it gets resolved because the trickle down to all other sports will be a nightmare, especially baseball for us.

Nothing like threatening a beloved state sport to grab the attention of the taxpayers.
This is just plain old democratic blackmail...
At this point, Les Miles can afford to buy the state.
This is a ploy that is usually played out on high school sports. You have to give the governor credit for thinking big time. It will cost LSU fans about three pre game drinks per game.
I have no respect for idiot politicians making these kind of nonsenical threats. The chance of shutting down LSU football (if he doesn't get his tax increase) is slightly higher than me landing on the moon if I jump really high. He's like a kid making stupid threats to get his way.
I'd like to see where the governor thinks he'd come up with the $11million in profits that LSU football brings in... lol
Took some exhaustive searching but found real reason Louisiana governor wants to cancel LSU football. The guy has a point.
Now that was funny Billy.
I have no doubt that the Jindal years left them in a financial pinch, but this is just stupid. He's gonna live to regret these comments.
