    The problem is that Alabama's $16.5 million has gone directly to the players.

    Those from Vanderbilt are not just snobby... they're stingy too.

    Our President has done a pathetic job with donations the last 2-3 years. Man I hope we fire him soon...

    And to think that Vanderbilt was a philanthropist.

    You would think they would give the most money. lol

    Cornelius Vanderbilt.
    Known as “Commodore Vanderbilt.”
    American transportation promoter and financier who amassed a great fortune through railroad and shipping interests. His heirs included his son William Henry (1821–1885), a financier and philanthropist, and William Henry's sons Cornelius (1843–1899), a railroad director; William Kissam (1849–1920), a railroad executive and philanthropist; Frederick William (1856–1938), a railroad manager; and George Washington (1862–1914), who commissioned Biltmore, the largest private home in America, located in Asheville, North Carolina.

    Just wondering. Are you talking about LSU or Georgia?

    I think Vandy starts off with a disadvantage for exactly that reason. They are to small a school to compete financially in this respect.

    However, in LSU's case, are'nt we one of the bigger schools in the SEC? (I don't know how big the other schools are). Our Alumni population is definately one of the largest, and most active.

    I think LSU should be able to raise more money that it currently is. Especially after you hear everyone complaining about "when are we going to take it to the next level?" Well unfortunately, you can't do that without money.
