Interesting.....

To go public naming schools, absent a study, sounds like the handwriting is already on the wall.

The findings of the study will be used to justify the move.

If eventually done, that's three money games off the table.

Ohhhh, this story is so juicy! And the head of the ULS is former GSU president, Rick Gallot, too?

Send they asses down to FCS, frat!

LSU struggles with multimillion-dollar athletics deficit: ‘We've got to stop that bleeding’ • Louisiana Illuminator

After years of minimal profits, LSU athletics is now tens of millions of dollars in the red.

Pissing off these universities while LSU President says LSU is " bleeding" money, but going after these smaller schools. According to this article LSU has over spent it's budget by $177 million over the past 6 seasons. $44 million last season & about $27 million this season projections. I'm sure LSU can raise the money easier to cover their deficits ,but it's still a bit of a slap in the face to those schools.

I say let them fight.

Or get told the same body is conducting another study to determine what La based FCS schools should move to DII.

And I'm sure those schools will mention this when they try to suggest they move down

It is going to be interesting to see if they make the feasibility study public without any edits. The other thing I am interested in known has any of this schools, including LSU, attempt to do any cost cutting measures. A University that is near to me, started cutting sports a few years ago and was trying to cut there sports offering down to their conference minimum. They got hit with a title 9 lawsuit, so they had to keep swimming and diving for the women.

all of their alums would give their left arms, hands, legs, etc to be associated with LSU - the governor is a UL alum but acts like he went to LSU
