Yall seem to forget how much profit LSU gets from their football games. This is a key to recruiting. Better recruiting = better players = better teams = better games = more people and crowds coming in. And because football is such a big deal to LSU on a regular basis, they prioritize. You can talk about the rest of the student life, but not one single thing brings in money to lsu like football

I've actually been on LSU's campus. Trust me, the place is pretty nice all around!!

As an LSU Student, this has nothing to do with tuition rates or student loan debt; however, it has everything to do with donations. Alumni donate money to a specific organization, and thats what the money is designated to be used for. At the end of the day its a business, and like it or not the money is going to go where the donors intend for it to and what generates the most profit for the university. And no, I am not affiliated with any LSU athletic organization

People in the comments section be complaining about how they spend their money. People say it is excessive until you realize that all this money is from people who donate directly to the football program and the fact that they manage to bring in 90000 fans every game. The school would spend more money on academic facilities too until you realize that 90000 people don’t show up to watch Sarah study for her calc 150 class. Just realize that student athletes work 60-70 hours a week with school and sport.

LSU is a very loved university, so the donations fair well especially by a lot of wealthy people. I still think it has the most beautiful campus in the south.

The price tag on this locker room is just a fraction of what the football team brings in every season.

However, if the athletes couldn’t already get into the school by themselves based on their academics, then the coaches will choose the easiest major the school has to offer them without their consent.

To all the people complaining about wasting university money and tuition being high. YOU ARE WRONG. I know you’re wondering were the money is coming from. Well let me tell you about booster and private donations. See the money that is given to the ex: tiger football campaign. Is used for equipment building,updates, scholarships, and etc. same thing as private donations. And for the people that say that they don’t need all that extra stuff, I ask do you know what it takes to be a D1 Athlete and to add to that be a LSU football player which at the time they are 1 in the entire country. Let’s not forget that they are still young people and entertainment would be nice since you get up 6 in the fricking morning every day to put 100 and 10 percent out on the field. So for people who say this is a waste even though it’s there money do what they do. And you will understand stand why they get this stuff
