LSU football head coach Lane Kiffin took his family to Boca Raton using his private airplane travel benefits at a cost of $40,000 to LSU donors, according to LSU Board of Supervisors documents.
Contract Perks
Kiffin’s employment contract allows him 65 hours of private air travel for personal use, a perk that is not unusual for head football coaches, but one that former head coach Brian Kelly did not have and other LSU coaches are not currently granted.
The nearly $40,000 tab for the trip was paid by the Tiger Athletic Foundation in March, though the report does not detail when the trip occurred or how long it was.
LSU and Kiffin entered into his employment agreement last December, but the agreement did not receive final Board approval until last month. Kiffin was hired by the university after Kelly was fired mid-season.
