They really outdid themselves




The fact that this thread in 2021 has 100 posts is dumb.

Looks like enough to be able to use the UL name to me.



This dead horse topic that gets beat to death almost weekly is always between ULL (or UL) and LSU fans. The only real defender for ULM is Pedro and I have never seen that dude bitch about the ULL just taking the name "Louisiana". In fact, I don't think I have ever seen one ULM fan complain in one of these threads. Basically ULM people just accept it because at the end of the day, most of them just go to school there to get a degree with zero fricks given about athletics and the others are LSU fans for the most part and care more about them.

I want to hate the dude for being a ULM guy, but he's also a distance runner guy and coach, so that makes it tough.

He can eat shite on November 27th, though.

That’s only because there are Flagship criteria to meet in Texas to be recognized as a “Flagship” university.

In this backwards arse state, LSU was appointed as “The” flagship. There isn’t a matrix or criteria to meet. It’s just designated as such.

Also, according to the Louisiana Legislature regarding higher education, there is 1 Flagship, 3 Statewide Universities and the rest of regional colleges.

The three statewide universities are:
UNO
LaTech
UL

The rest are regional colleges. So tell me why there isn’t a public university that goes by University of Louisiana?

A lot of words to say ULL isn’t a flagship university.

Well I’m just so proud that the single Flagship university in this state is ranked 153rd. Brings so much pride.

The difference between ULaLa, ULM and Tech is ULM knows their place in the pecking order of Louisiana universities.

Yall left out ULM's nursing program and what about the new medical school?

ULM initially made a play for it just to piss off the Cajuns mostly and said screw it and did their own thing.

It's why they have a mega cool logo now.

Hilariously their initial deal included ULL referring to themselves as LA instead of UL which they backed out of after about 6 months so they're just snakes overall

Monroe still calls the Lafayette team usl, even the sports commentators on radio. When the Louisiana team is mentioned it’s concerning LSU

I mean I take my jabs but it’s just in good fun. What pisses me off is people saying ulm serves no purpose and needs to be shut down. There’s a lot of good programs there.

ULL is the welfare queen of (the state of) Louisiana college athletics and has used gimmickry over the years to convey the perception they have separated from the other state universities, excluding LSU. The most recent (pre-Covid) numbers available as reported by the state auditor's office show them consuming $7.5 million more taxpayer subsidy than second place Louisiana Tech and nearly $10 million more than ULM.

ULL

Direct Institutional Support (taxpayer subsidy) = $16,544,002

Louisiana Tech

That’s rich considering the fact that the taxpayer had to fund LSU athletics for almost 60 years to get this point.
