That's ridiculous. Students are paying thousands of dollars to go to college, and then classes are being cancelled for football?!
In-state tuition is $11,962 ($28,639 out-of-state) at LSU. A semester is usually 16 weeks when you exclude one week for spring break. 16x5 = 80 days of classes. 11,962/80 = 150, thus, one day costs an in-state student $150 ($358 out-of-state).
I think it's outrageous to cancel classes for this reason. People pay a lot to get an education there, but in those two days they are not getting what they are paying for.
The students should be reinbursed for two days.
