Should have never gone to 1A. They had to get creative to get the home attendance piece done. Some of the games vs UA in Little Rock were supposed “ home games”. NLU had won a national championship in 87 and would have been at top of that division for years. Trying to keep up with Tech, as I saw it at the time . It will never be much different there.


I'm an NLU grad and I agree w/ you. I also think they should return to FCS. As an FCS school, they could still schedule games w/ the big paycheck to fund the rest of the athletic dept and (hopefully) return to having a competitive football program.

Yea the issue is the pay check isn’t as beefy when you’re fcs. From a competitive standpoint it would definitely be better but I get why it can’t happen now either. We don’t have the money to eat the difference.

NLU as well. I left Monroe in 95. NLU was in much better space in sports than ULM has been. Football was usually in the hunt for 1Aa playoff, Basketball had some good moments, women’s basketball was unreal for 4 years, baseball won some games. Not happy with baseball since they fired Jeff. They should have been happy winning some and losing some.
