Is Scott doing enough to keep the only coach on campus that’s competent?
Best coach on campus but Problem is that he coaches a sport that doesn’t make money

I guarantee you that there are people from every school that don't like MBB. It's not a good sport. It's like watching ping pong back and forth but with squeaky shoes and the end of the game becomes a free throw contest. Get rid of the bonus and charge and blocking fouls and then we might have something worth watching.
But it's okay. Not everyone has to like every sport

I was told that the percentages of that $20.5 million from LSUAD to the players could change every year. LSU Baseball had plenty of dedicated NIL and did not need more than 2% of the LSU funds this season. Who knows for 26-27.

Lsu gets a ton of private donations for baseball, so im sure that makes up the difference and more

No baseball teams are getting $ they deserve I don’t think mlb is gonna start hiring every college coach Most college coaches don’t want the pressure mlb jobs entail Jay is making close to what Vitello is with giants and without that pressure
Vitello is at the peak of his baseball coaching career in college. He likely just wants to see if he can make it as a big league coach. If it’s doesn’t work he will be in very high demand as a college coach again. It’s not a bad move by him. I could be wrong, but Jay doesn’t seem like that’s a goal to be a big league coach.

Liking a sport really should not be the ADs agenda. Same reason people say Woody's job is not about hiring coaches, it's about money and donors.
You can't have it both ways.

Yea that's fine but how much does our record affect our MBB profit? Genuinely asking because I don't know, but I would think we get most of our money from the SEC TV deal which means we can ride the coattails of the rest of our conference and profit regardless. With baseball you need to sell tickets, concessions, etc just to break even. So in baseball you need to be good. MBB profits regardless, but how much more do we make when we're actually good?

MBB makes a profit outside of NCAAT/SEC rev share because it's inherent -even when we suck.
$1 million in net profit (exclusive of SEC/TV revenue) in 2023. It's public information.
LSU Baseball, I love, for sure, but 2023 NC program lost money.
There is almost zero potential to add more revenue for LSU Baseball.

Hey bro, appreciate you. I just meant in the overall picture.
Football and Basketball are the cash cows. shite, 30 years ago UK basketball was bringing in - and more profitable- than LSU football.
Too many short sighted people, still buying into Joe Dean.

Baseball got 600k. Most goes to football

I agree with all that you say, we are close to breaking even so a few new additions and slight tweaks to what we have now could make it easier to not lose money IMO

That’s not correct. WBB doesn’t make money and they get more money than baseball.
It’s political.

He’s getting 2% and women’s basketball 5%. In no world should women’s basketball get more rev share than baseball.
As long as LSU is competitive in the distribution for both sports relative to other schools, that’s all that matters. It may or may not be “fair”, but it’s what the market dictates. More than likely, there are also Title IX implications whether any of us like it or not.

Either way, for FY 24 media rights and the NCAA distribution make up over 60% of basketball’s revenue and without those two things it only generated about half of what baseball did.
The potential is definitely there, much more so than with baseball, and it’s basically untapped by LSU. But the primary reason it is profitable is simply because it exists.

How do you know that? We haven’t played a game in either Baseball of WBB. We don’t know what the market is yet.

There is always Title IX implications. No one knows how all of this will end.

The head coach at LSU has way more pressure on them than the manager for most pro teams. The college game is a lot more work too. It’s 365, jay was famously recruiting Curiel the day after winning the 2023 title. Many MLB managers just do what they’re told to do anymore like even in game decisions. Aaron Boone is a known front for Brian Cashman.

Justifying losses and boasting isn't a good look for the 10/100 cashing receipts.
