About this episode
LSU mega booster Gordon McKernan joins the show for a candid, in-depth conversation about the state of LSU athletics in the NIL era.
We discuss whether LSU’s current level of football spending under Lane Kiffin is sustainable long term and what it really takes behind the scenes to build — and maintain — a championship-caliber roster. How are donors viewing the arms race? And what does the future model look like?
On the hardwood, we tackle the future of Matt McMahon after another disappointing season. Should LSU move on? And if so, is a return by Will Wade actually realistic — or just message board noise?
Plus, we react to recent comments from Jay Johnson about LSU potentially not investing enough in baseball to remain elite. What does that mean for the standard of excellence in Baton Rouge?
This episode covers the financial realities, coaching futures, and investment questions shaping LSU’s present — and future.
