    Wow, and to think last night I was in a meeting on campus where people were saying one of the only good things about the Saints playing in Death Valley was that it brought revenue to LSU. LSU is already offering it at cost to the Saints while it makes campus look horrible on Mondays. I think it would be a very bad idea under normal circumstances but that's not the case.

    He should just pay and in my opinion he should donate $1M + to the school, but from what I've seen and know about him from his business dealings and with the state he's pretty much a selfish ******

    I think one reason the small crowd at the Bears game was a result of the attitude that Benson has.

    I think the state should buy the Saints. A couple other teams are owed by local goverments.

    So the state wouldn't have to pay Benson and they would make a few bucks off the beer and ticket sales.

    Great idea. I also heard that our fellow Tech alumni Terry Bradshaw is trying to put to gether a group of investors to buy the saints and keep them in Louisiana. We will just have to see how it all plays out.

    I believe Benson is such a Supreme Pr!ck, he would not sell to the state or local investors out of sheer spite. Let's all remember, he was "almost killed" :D LOL!!!!!!!!! It would be funny if it could be organized that he was heckled and berated everywhere he went!

    Benson's another nut owner doing his best to alienate his team's fans, like Bud Adams, Robert Irsay, Art Modell...

    The Saints didn't even want to play there, only public opinion forced them to. Do you really expect them to pay?

    Yes when someone signs a contract I expect them to honor the contract. Maybe LSU can put a lein on the team for non payment :)

    Yet they still made the conscious choice to do so, meaning they must own up to obligations. Basically its either pay or face legal action. Hopefully Benson is smart and does the responsible thing. But if not, there are consequences.
