He's a University of Washington graduate and a native. He's done a great job at LSU ... would hate to lose him. http://www.wafb.com/Global/story.asp?S=1723444
Man, that would hurt the university a lot. I wish that the state would realize that every dollar spent on the LSU system would be an incredible investment in the state of Louisiana.
That really sucks. The article says the he may leave because the state won't give him enough funding to make it a national powerhouse, like he wants to. That is kind of dissapointing....
Emmert is a Tacoma native and Washington graduate. LSU Regent Richard D'Aquin says Emmert may be interested in leaving after five years in Baton Rouge because he believes he can't get enough state funding to make the school a national academic powerhouse. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- this would definitely be 1 sad day for LSU
