The state of Louisiana could separate the school from the athletic department as two entities, like the University of Florida, so taxpayers aren't paying buyouts.

I thought the Universities were capped with how much they can now contribute to a coach? Meaning, a public university funded through tax payers, could only foot the bill for so much. After that it’s the McAfees, Trumps, Sabans, Yellawoods, and etc.. who pay the coach over a certain amount….
