Mulkey Retiring?

LSUjeep said:

There have been several rumors popping up on TD lately about Muley stepping down after the season and some connecting it to Wade coming back and pulling resources from WBB to give to him. Has anyone heard anything? I know @Matthew Brune is not around now but just wondering. Would suck as her freshman class is very good.

What. A. Day. WOW.

Jay Johnson next season with that women's basketball money

No

I am hoping it is BS and not true. I would rather have Kiffin, JJ, Mulkey, Wade all together at LSU.

Mulkey has her own donors some even followed her from Baylor. Wade would not affect her at all it would probably help

Without having any idea if this is true or not, if it is in fact true, they are making the right move. I highly doubt this is the case though unless its a bigger donor to WBB who is saying I want WW but if you hire him I need to give all my funds that way or something.

If this is about that "American Gangster" post that dude doesn't know crap and I'd find that weird given her comments a few days ago

I mean it wouldn’t be surprising. She is around that age where coaches retire

She seemed pretty adamant she wasn’t a few days ago at the press conference.

I never did understand the whole choosing between the men and women hoops team. We all know the women will be good as long as Kim is here! Kim has the only Championship in program history in basketball. If sacrificing her means we get Will Wade I don’t want Wade.

she can't compete without what she thinks she needs financially but she isn't going to get it it was a good run but I've tired of her antics and I'll never forget/forgive her comments when we were pursuing Lane

That is certainly a take...

She can’t beat South Carolina anyways

And what has Wade ever won? Is NC State still in the tournament? Everybody has NIL now. Wade has to pay on top the table now.

Dawn been on the job about 18 years! Kim been here 5 the gap is closing ! We couldn’t beat Saban either but ya’ll still went to the games. Kim didn’t miss two free throws late in the game.

Comparing men’s football to woman’s basketball is certainly interesting

Nah bro. I love Kim but funding women's basketball is like fourth in line. Men's basketball should always come before women's basketball.

Nah.

Because at the end of the day it's a business. Last year LSU's expenditures for men's basketball was $10.3M and $10.5M for women's basketball. Yet men's basketball's revenue was $12.9M and women's basketball was just $2.6M. And that $2.5M profit for men's basketball is on the incredible low end of what that program will actually bring into the University and Athletic Program. I've seen people say that could jump to $6-8M with Wade on board.
