Damn near lost accreditation a number of years ago because they couldn't even complete an audit. So fricked up, the auditors couldn't even make a guess at how fricked up they were.

The current AD(James) was hired in August, to replace the AD(Caldwell) that was hired in 2012. Caldwell was hired to replace James who was appointed interim AD in June of 2011, when the previous AD resigned.

So from June of 2011 to August of 2013, 26 months they had 4 Athletic Directors (one guy serving in that role twice)

work with someone with a player on the team. said the president is petty, and everyoe thinks he is stealing the money they get from the classics they play in. first time he talked to the team after firing Williams was the meeting on tuesday. the bus ride they took recently was 20 hours

That doesn't answer the question why the alumni don't get pissed off.

team mentality. look at the reactions black people have to other black people who criticize or take up a different opinion than the norm.
RG3 = cornball
Stacy Dash = sellout
Ben Carson = uncle tom

christ id hate to see what the masses thought of folks like BHP, StraightCash, and lordguill

A lot of black culture doesn't make sense to me, but I would think the alumni would be flipping the frick out over administrators stealing money.

What about 12 hour bus rides to games that the admins fly to?



What about it? I don't see it as unreasonable for the admin to travel differently than the team.

Grambling's Wikipedia page reads like a bad middle school book report

"The President's Home at Grambling State University is particularly elegant and stately."

Notable alumni is a giant block of text

It's always fun stumbling on Wiki entries that were clearly written by somebody's PR rep -- or maybe the person themselves.

Blame Sally Clausen at the ul system board. They should be overseeing everything grambling does with its appropriation funds. She had her head shoved up gramblings arse. Moffett apparently didn't change anything.

Don't forget that Bobby Jindal could never get an audited financial statement for Grambling when he was UL president. There is a systemic problem at that institution.
