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.It's some shat somewhere.

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

Five Louisiana FCS Programs Could Drop Below Division I
Five Louisiana FCS programs are part of a $150,000 University of Louisiana System review that could ultimately recommend moving them out of Division I.
Grambling, McNeese, Nicholls, Northwestern State and Southeastern Louisiana are among the eight universities included in the systemwide athletics review being conducted by Deloitte. UL System President Rick Gallot has said the consultant’s recommendations include no limitations, including possible moves to Division II or Division III.

You could see it coming a mile away. Remember these warnings we dropped last month:
It's some shat somewhere.
I didn't want to believe it, until now.
Damn. Member when an HBCU Sports opinion piece & others said that Valley should drop to DII? Now old Gram could be on the chopping block?
Seriously. I'm very curious to hear the "recommendations" ,but I doubt Gram would be recommended before SELA (whose program already shut down football for nearly 20 years) or Northwestern La or Nicholls State.

SU isn't under the UL system so they aren't a part of the study so maybe our older brother adopts us into their SU system if them folks come for us. Tony Clayton of Southern has already suggested this plan in the past.

The economic impact of the Bayou Classic should be enough to exclude GSU.
The current conference revenue share plus projected conference revenue shares should assist with that also.
Agree. I named the 3 schools that would be even recommended before Gram. SU & Gram bring more overall value than any other FCS in the state.
Yes sahhhhh. What % of the football budget is dedicated to football coaches (head coach included) and support staff? Between the BC, SFC, 1 fbs game, rev share from conference, et al, that should suffice, imho.
How much are these "coaches" being compensated annually and are those #s in alignment w/ comparable fcs salaries for a university of similar population?
If we're being honest, Louisiana has way too many 4-year public institutions for its size and population. And it is well documented how the state of Louisiana intentionally created some of these PWIs over the years to prevent Black students from attending them.
Nichols State, McNeese State, and SLU were all established after Grambling was founded in 1901.

One of the poorest , least educated & populous states with nearly 15 public universities( 4 year). They would have been better served creating a Juco or community college system similiar to Ms. instead of so many 4 year schools.
As you already know Gram was created as a Private school modeling itself after Tuskegee, but eventually sold out & became a state institution in the 1930's. To ensure Blacks stay the hell away from La. Tech if it ever crossed their minds. But when cuts are mentioned the bigots ask "why are HBCU's a thing in 2026 anyway?" Instead of accepting why they were ever a thing in the 1st place.

they'll keep GSU where they are based on football revenue alone and the ability to generate guarantee game basketball revenue - go D2 that changes drastically but to play "fair" they had to include Grambling to show no bias
