Damn 20 million to lose to Billy Napier is quite the investment.

There’s no possible way LSU paid $20.1 million for their 2024 roster.

LSU couldn’t sign anyone they wanted last year in the portal, because they weren’t spending $$.

Now… for the upcoming season - 2025, yes, I’d believe it. LSU went all in on the portal this winter and got virtually everyone they wanted.

Plus… how can anyone get those numbers? There is virtually no way to verify them.

He is matching up to 1 million to bayou collective. That 20.1 million might be for 25-26 but now ay it was for last year.

Yes, this December. AFTER the 2024 regular season was over.

Like I said, LSU went all in this winter for the 2025 roster. They didn’t spend money at all on the 2024 roster.

Four of those teams had a good return on their investment by making the playoffs and finishing ranked in the top 10.

One finished the season unranked and was never even in the playoff discussion.

You are going to want to be on this list to have the best chance to win

But it's also a bad list to be on if you finish the year unranked. That is just pathetic.

Talk about pissing your money away. I hope you kids see what a waste of resources this was.

It's a list you don't want to be on if your season was a failure.

There's one of those on there.
