Coach Bennett's wife is from Baton Rouge and went to LSU. He would be an excellent coach for LSU


He left because he does not like the NIL/transfer environment. That environment hasn’t changed.

Plus, he was self aware to recognize his style of play/roster development is not ideal for this era

Why give up the women’s program?


Because it loses money and no one cares about it other than the 13 LSU WBB fans.

The only reason anyone even cares about basketball is if the football program begins to suck.
Fix the football program in a football school and few will even remember there is a basketball program.

As would men's basketball if they had the same TV contract.

And in case you wondering, there is no women's basketball TV deal. It is packaged with the men's deal.

correct. The men's and women's games are light years apart in terms of athleticism.

Tactics and strategies are far different.

Mulkey with the Men would be the same result. LSU DNGAF about Mens Basketball. Lowest NiL $$ in the SEC. John Wooden couldnt succeed as it!

right but the difference is the women are much worse so they don't get the same contract. people enjoy claiming that the women are fundamentally more sound, or better shooters etc. none of that is true, they are playing at mens middle school level. so they get far fewer viewers and their tv ratings far worse.

but we pretend they are awesome and pay their coach like they are not losing millions.

I would prefer that money went to buying mens players
