There was a thread that they forgot to keep up with the domain name.

Cool thanks. So the the site has been moved to .com domain but the website still says LSUSPORTS.NET and there is no auto redirect. Heck even CFCU does a better job.

Incompetence must be a disease at the LSU Athletic Dept. Someone else needs to fired along with Crowton.

Didn't lose the domain at all. THis was part of a phased transition that was announced last year that the lsusports.net page was moving to lsusports.com since it was being opperated by LSU Sports Properties, Inc. - a "for profit" company which must register as a ".com" or ".biz" rather than the ".net" which is supposed to be for non-profit generating entities (don't mean a non-profit organization like a charity, but rather a web presence that is not intended to generate money)

a) it shouldn't take them this long
b) it shouldn't be this poorly managed (several links within lsusports.com still direct to lsusports.net).

They did it over a 1 year period to allow other sites more than enough time to prevent....

nah. links within their own system still go to LSUsports.net. Go try and look at the cumulative stats on the football team page.

I agree. Especially considering the LSU Sports Properties is a division of CBS and not the Athletic department. You would think that a multimedia company like CBS would have experience making a switch like that.

You are correct. I don't know why it wasn't done correctly. But I do know that the .net website was supposed to be removed in 2010. Though I thought it was at the end of the year.
