Lafayette has 10K more students with a $232 million endowment. Monroe with a $73 million endowment

It wasn’t that way in 1999 when the NLU name change happened. Swearingen was horrible for NLU.

Damn! The Houston-ULL game is still on. Bottom of 11th inning with Houston leading 11-8.

Ball game. Houston won their first game of the tournament and ULL goes winless

Lafayette has always been higher up the pecking order than Monroe. That pharmacy school is the only thing keeping Monroe holding on.

I went to ULM my freshman year. It's a beautiful campus. It's a small school and ULL is certainly bigger. A lot of kids from out of state go to ULM for the pharmacy program.

I agree ULL is higher on the pecking order but I still think its stupid how they want to take over the "University of Louisiana" moniker. They're still a directional school. They only have a couple more thousand students than Southeastern does.

So you really believe that between 99-24 Lafayette gained that much endowment and enrollment? Get real man. Lafayette has always been higher up the pecking order than Monroe. That pharmacy school is the only thing keeping Monroe holding on.

Between 1999 and 2018 the endowment grew from $36 million to $200 million. So yes, it did. That is from their own website, which they insist on calling Louisiana instead of their actual name of ULL.

I cannot find their enrollment data from 1999, but it grew by a lot while they exploited the title they chose and called themselves "Louisiana." At the same time, the ULM president did the opposite and we experienced a decline.

40 years ago, the school's were practically the same. So no, they haven't always been higher in the pecking order. In the 70s and 80s, NLU, USL, and La Tech were pretty equal in money, students, education, athletics.

All this talk is nice but, there is only ONE University of Louisiana and that is the Flagship university of Louisiana- Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College. There is no dispute ( except for the fools pushing an agenda at ULL).
ULL (USL) is and always will be a directional college.

When Ull lost their football coach they were pissed with the idea that LSU would take him. Then when they realized LSU was not interested came the idiots who thought he was better than Kelly. For a school with 19000 students you would think they could truly separate from the other state schools instead of pretendt like they are by using a pseudo name. Surprised over the years ULM who lives with the change as written hasn’t either required ull to do the same or refer to themselves as Louisiana, as confusing as it would be, as well.
