I haven't read enough about this to have a fully informed opinion, but I find it hard to believe.

Same here. 1-2 odds say its a ploy to get the bill passed.

It's Nick Saban's fault...

How to get a bill passed in LA? tell the voters there won't be college football unless the legislature votes yes. Guaranteed to succeed.

Yeah, cannot understand how a top 3 SEC football program can be running out of funds? :confused:

A good friend of mine's father in law is in the LA Governor's Cabinet, head of economic development, a box holder at Death Valley.....I can promise that LSU football season is NOT in jeapordy....

I would like to see the bill purposely not passed to call his bluff. I hate politicians like that.

Well they did have to get a recruiting class signed recently

Can you imagine the crazy things you could get passed in KY if UK basketball was on the hook?

If UK's is not in jeopardy, how the HELL can LSU's be needy!!??

Isn't it about the school running.out of funds and not the football program? He's saying if the bill doesn't pass the school will be shut down mid semester, thus leaving the athletes with incomplete grades. That would mean next fall the entire team would be ineligible due to grades...

May need to borrow some money from the football account.............

Actually you're pretty close. The athletic department is donating $36 million to academics over the next 5 years.

Think about this statement. Where are America's priorities in the year 2016?
