    LSU Athletics: The $250 Million Business of Winning | LBIS E

    In this episode of the Louisiana Business & Industry Show, Gordy Rush and Tim Johnson sit down with Verge Ausberry, Vice President and Athletic Director at LSU, to discuss one of the most powerful economic drivers in the state of Louisiana: LSU Athletics, a $250 million operation generating billions in regional economic impact.

He explains how LSU is restructuring its athletic department to operate like a corporate front office, why building private partnerships and donor relationships is now essential to staying competitive, and how LSU stacks up against the biggest programs in the country.  The conversation also covers the exciting capital projects on the horizon, including a new on-campus arena and what a loaded home football schedule means for LSU and the greater Baton Rouge region.
