LSU AD Verge Ausberry on NIL, Baseball Funding, Revenue Share & Will Wade Hire

Hour Two: Matt Moscona is joined by Verge Ausberry, Executive Deputy AD at LSU Athletics, for a full-hour conversation covering the biggest issues facing the department. They start with the evolving NIL landscape and what LSU’s plan is to fund baseball at a championship level while keeping head coach Jay Johnson competitive in the SEC. The discussion then shifts to LSU’s revenue sharing model—how funds are allocated, and how many sports the Tigers can realistically sustain at a high level in this new era of college athletics. Plus, Moscona and Ausberry dive into the decision to hire Will Wade to lead the basketball program, expectations moving forward, and what success looks like. They also touch on the outlook for football and early expectations under Lane Kiffin. A candid, in-depth conversation you won’t want to miss in Hour Two of the show.
