NEW: Remember long (36 days) ago, when @LAGovJeffLandry railed against Brian Kelly’s $54M buyout—and @LSU AD Scott Woodward got fired over it? Well, @Lane_Kiffin’s golden parachute is arguably much more gilded. My latest for @Sportico👇 https://t.co/AEC61YPjMV

Fun fact: Kiffin’s $13 million per season from LSU is just two million dollars less than the Louisiana territory was purchased from France for in 1803. Adjusting for inflation, his whole contract is worth about a quarter of the Louisiana Purchase price.
