I'm sure he's getting significantly more than that from other revenues. Deficits or not, LSU will find always find him a loophole way to get him the money, just as I'm sure we do as well.
Anyways, he's LSU's problem, not ours. He took us as far as he could, and I'm grateful for his finishing the rebuilding job that Weis started, and he has my respect for that. However, we weren't going to take that next step with him, since 12 years of his tenure here is plenty of time to make such a conclusion.
