Scone doesn’t know shite. Dude is a clown.

LSU baseball could make money if it wanted to, but people would be upset at what it would take to do that.

Wade is not coming back here for a myriad of reasons. Yall have to get over the obsession.

One of the big hurdles for LSU to hire Wade will be that LSU will need to wait until after the season ends since his buyout drops from $5mm to $3mm on April 1, 2026. Wade also probably wouldn't want to forfeit his performance based incentives that would probably be another $500k+ total.

We had an identity and AURA with Wade as head man, we were relevant in the sport and WOULD HAVE BEEN in March had our athletic department not been a bunch of pussies and suspended Wade for BS and fired him before our first round NCAA game. Our AD's intransigence probably cost us an SEC Tourney title or 2 and certainly a couple possible deep runs in March. I mean our elite 2019 squad made the Sweet 16 with TONY BENFORD leading them, TONY BENFORD!!!

It’s never happened until the first time it’s happened.

Why do we think he'd be interested in LSU job?


Just a few idiots do....but he isn't interested..and even said it a few weeks back. Said he loves being at a program that the school gets behind.
LSU cares about football only. And we are damn good at it

Didn't will Wade just say his current job is better than LSU?


Yes. But that can change.

I'm interested in your thoughts on what it would take for baseball to "make money" besides spending cuts.

LSU just spent about the same amount of money on the left tackle position for one year.

FY2025 Baseball Expenses: 10,988,407
Revenues: 10,066,800

All it would take is TAF throwing an extra $1 million at baseball out of the $28.8 million Not Related to Specific Teams Contributions table and abra kadabra, baseball is profitable.. They also don't get credited with any of the $27 million from the "Revenue Not Related to Specific Teams" Media Rights table.


Got that # from this table:
Contributions: Input contributions provided and used by athletics in the reporting year
including:
· Amounts received from individuals, corporations, associations, foundations,
clubs or other organizations designated for the operations of the athletics
program.

· Funds contributed by outside contributors for the payment of debt service,
lease payments or rental fee expenses for athletic facilities in the reporting
year.
· Amounts received above face value for tickets.

Well his current team has a NET ranking of 27. They had a losing record last year.
HIs old team is still reaping the benefits he gave them and has a NET ranking of 55.


LSU meanwhile is at 60.

Can you see why people with a brain want Will Wade back?

I bet the next thing Mascona says is that Dale Brown is not happening either.

Mascona is the perfect idiot to cater to some of the idiots in this fanbase.

This notion that LSU can't hire someone better than Wade and that we have to get on our knees and beg him to come back is so fricking stupid. Wade's a good coach, but there are plenty of coaches as good and better than him that LSU could pursue.

Before this I thought the chance of Wade returning was ZERO.

But if Matt says it isn’t happening, then it damn well just might.
