I refuse to believe people would rather watch that horrendous product versus. the best baseball program in the country. Thanks for coming to my ted talk

False dichotomy. We don’t have to choose between the two.

Questionable after this post...
What are you talking about? Since when was it a competition?
Posted on 4/6/26 at 12:29 pm to RummelTiger
I wasn’t the one that is making it a competition. Simply speaking to what’s going around on twitter/media spaces. Women’s basketball should never get more rev share than LSU baseball I don’t care about the numbers. 2 nattys in 3 years

Are we still melting over 2-3% of the rev share total?

I made this comment on another post but it applies here as well.
College sports fans don’t base their fandom on business decisions. I’m a fan of LSU because I enjoy watching the football team, baseball team, and men’s basketball team compete at a high level. When they are not competing at a high level it decreases the amount of enjoyment I get out of being a fan. Jay Johnson has created a program that brings many lots of joy. If we lose him, the program will suffer. We fans will suffer. Example..see basketball post Will Wade. I don’t give a shite if the programs make money or lose money. Inside a shirt they are fun to watch. I’m glad Mulkey is here and our girls are competitive. I took my daughter to the National Championship game and it’s a memory I will cherish forever but quite frankly if they went back to sucking I and most fans wouldn’t really care. Same with softball. Honestly I care more about the women’s gymnastics staying viable than any of the other women’s sports but even them not at the expense of baseball.
We have an opportunity to competing yearly for championships in football, baseball, and men’s basketball. Business decisions be damned, we need to be making decisions that keep these three on top. And I don’t care if nationally baseball isn’t that big a deal. At LSU it is a big deal and if you want to keep LSU fans happy, then the administration better act like it.

To be fair, in both actual per game attendance and tv ratings - LSU Women's hoops rates very favorably up against LSU baseball. That's just a fact whether we like that or not.
Secondly, as one poster pointed out recently there will be a new television revenue share agreement for women's hoops that could reportedly provide "significantly" more $$ for member schools. Some reports speculate that this could result in $18 million more per school that back in 23-24.
If that's the case the $8 million loss that folks keep using against Kim, may not be a loss in the coming years.

Who cares what the national audience wants. I care what LSU fans want. I’m pretty sure at LSU, there are more diehard baseball fans than women’s basketball fans.

As someone said in another thread, big money sponsors dont care that LSU fans specifically care more about baseball over WBB or vice versa. They care about marketing and views on their product or logo. So "who cares what the national audience wants"? The large corporate sponsors and TV media rights that fund your athletic department

But it's also a reality that LSU has a lot of hoops fans, may not be all the same as baseball fans but look at the per game attendance for each - the numbers are very close. And tv ratings specifically for the two LSU women's basketball and baseball are very comparable.
So, the notion that LSU fans care more about one than the other is actually debatable and nuanced.
Some like baseball more, some like basketball more and some like both about the same.

Its sad that this is where we are at with college sports. As lsu fans we should be rooting for all programs to be successful and represent lsu well. Instead this rev share bullshite has people fighting eachother over which programs we should defund over a few rev share percentage. What the frick are we even doing anymore
Posted on 4/6/26 at 1:12 pm to SaneTiger
I give no fricks about women's basketball, choose baseball every single time. LSU is going to frick all this up, I am sure of it

Absolutely and I do and always will root for all programs to do well.
We can fund all and be successful in all we just have to be creative and resourceful and hire coaches who are creative and resourceful in promoting and helping raise $$ for their sports. And I think for the most part we do now.

OP is all in his feels, facts mean nothing to him (and others here).
Strange he hates WBB since he is in fact acting like a woman.

This is what I've been saying. If Jay or LSU fans feel that the baseball program doesn't have enough money to get players, then a few percentage points in the rev share isn't going to change that (rev share is capped at $20.5 mil. Lets say baseball gets an additional 3%, thats $615,000 or 6% of their current expenditures not including NIL). Their issues lies with their donors. And I gurantee that WBB donors are for the most part not the same pool of donors as the baseball donors. So it sounds like the baseball donors need to nut up.
And lets just pretend that the donor pool for the two is the same and the donors only have a limited amount of dollars to give out and they choose to give it to womens basketball, then not only is that their decision but that also shows that OP is completely wrong

That's exactly what choosing means
