LSU baseball has 422k followers on here. If each person donates $10 we give them $4.2 million. If we do it each month $10/month x 422,000 is ~$50 MILLION. WE CAN HELP THIS TEAM ON OUR OWN! $10 for a Natty ??

I don’t know how this isn’t more of thing not just for LSU but other programs in general. My guess it probably is

422K people donating $10 much less $10 a month doesn't seem unrealistic at all. should be able to wrap this up in a week

maybe we should raise the bar a little higher, 500K?

That doesn’t necessarily increase the $ available to pay for players right?

More for facilities, coaches, equipment. etc but direct payments to players is still limited by the $20.5M rev share cap?

Does JJ just want more $ regardless or does he want more NIL support?

Nice, but most of the posters complaining care much more about complaining and appearing to be a "real baseball fan" than actually helping.

Props to those that do step up, it really does add up.

Live look at all of the posters that have been spamming the board about baseball funding when they are asked to actually put some skin in the game.

Last year I donated and set up a payment schedule where you could choose where you wanted funds to go to. Like I picked baseball and football and did 50 bucks to each a month. Can I not do that anymore?

Correct but if say the money paid for a new indoor facility etc. the big donors that would have been asked to pay could switch their money to NIL. NIL is the big dogs' game, average people can group source other expenses though.

That is true. Obviously the reports of ~$12M for basketball roster & ~$40M for football roster is mostly coming from outside sources

You don't really think this is a real threat, do you?

The only thing he should care about when it comes to players is overall money spent on the roster, I dont know why he would care where it is coming from and I doubt he does

I formally give approval to Jeff Landry to take 10 dollars of my wasted tax month each month and give it to LSU athletics.

Not concerned, but I donated a small amount for 10 runs in a 12th inning to take a series in Knoxville.

Love LSU baseball.

Already a member, but in for another $100. Hoping a surge in donations to baseball this week is noticed by the Administration.

I just gave $20. This should be pinned and everyone from Tigerdroppings should give $5-$20. It’s meaningless for many of us. We blow that going to eat but it can get Jay the GOAT what he wants even if it’s just facilities.

To add, let’s make a statement. We all know how powerful the TigerDroppings community is when we’re united.

If $10 is too much, don’t feel like you can’t be a part and have an impact. Even a $1 donation will increase the # of donators, which is a metric that the Administration will see.
