I've seen clips of ULM men's and women's basketball games on television, and you can almost count the number of fans on both hands. Baseball and softball are the same. Having to provide scholarships, facilities and travel for those programs will always be a losing proposition. It's almost a shame they even have to sponsor those programs, because students and fans care nothing about them.

It is 2023. People prioritize money and their free time very differently than 1993.

You got to find a way to be competitive first. A lot less people are going to tie up 4 hours to see a team lose by 20+.

The good news is the Monroe area is filled with some of the most passionate and knowledgeable football fans in the state.

Give them a reason to come see you when the High School teams aren’t playing.

my sophomore and junior years (‘14-‘16) when the men’s team was winning it would draw okay.
