re: LSU should go all in on Baseball

Gilbeau or not, this is a significant story. CJJ said:
Publicly disagreeing with admin's decision is a shot across the PR bow. Jay is not happy. Verge's response:
IE Baseball is good anyway, and football is king. True in so far as it goes, but Jay isn't asking for money from football's portion, so Verge is missing the point (at best). It's fairly clear that Verge is not that bright, so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. But then Verge fvcks it up pretty badly:
That's the wrong answer. If we want to stay on top, we need to invest. This could be a new golden era, but we can not take that for granted. Jay will have a lot of very attractive offers if he keeps it up. We are very lucky to have a 48 year old baseball Saban, and you can bet you arse a historic and well funded program like Texas will come knocking.
Asked about his future at LSU vs taking the Vitello route, Jay says:
To which Verge said:
Fvck that, and fvck Verge if he loses CJJ.
What they're saying in this article are not the words of two men who are seeing eye to eye on the issue. These are veiled threats. Very subtle ones, but also very real ones. It would be profoundly retarded to kill the golden goose and lose Jay, for any reason. The obvious choice is to take whatever he's asking out of WBB or even men's.
Yes, those are bigger sports, but LSU is never going to dominate them the way we do in baseball, and we will never have the history with them that we do with baseball.
Anyone who thinks baseball will be this good without Jay has a very short memory.

It does seem like kind of a random choice for a Galveston mafia family (allegedly, in Minecraft, everything posted here is purely for comedic purposes, etc).
Anyway, looking forward to the forthcoming Rainforest Cafe partnership.

Only other coach he's mentioned (past 10 years) as having a brain was Arranda.
Listening to coach O reassure everyone that the defense would be good because we had Aranda was like listening to president Camacho tell everyone the drought would end because he had the smartest guy in the world on staff.

Excited for the Coach Kiffen era, but threads like this remind me how much the NIL and infinite transfer rules have fricked up college football.
Whatever though, still ridin.

I look forward to respecting his decision (probably to say nothing of significance).
