“Aside from the personal stuff, there’s no greater institution that means more to its state than Louisiana State University. It’s just that way, and I’ve always believed that. And now that I’ve had a chance to leave it and look outside it, institutions are important to their state, but boy when you have one that is so prominent and sticks out so much as one institution in a state — unlike a place like where Alabama where you have Auburn and University of Alabama, or Georgia where you have Georgia and Georgia Tech — it’s a special, special, special relationship.”
– Scott Woodward, on why he jumped at the chance to become LSU’s new athletic director.
