Good to see a university focus on academics for once.

Their whole athletic site is down. Probably just maintenance or something.


That said I hate theyre using the name of what was, by all accounts I’ve heard, a good dude to run this scam.

I think football closed up shop in the middle of the season last year and was never heard from again.

I have no idea what happened to refunds for all of their season ticket holders.

This. We was a really good dude.

And my understanding is that when you bring that concern up on social media, they’ve threatened litigation.

I get the joke, but there is a host of parents who were hoodwinked here. Yes…said parents should have been more informed, but still.

I actually wasn't joking...when their site actually worked last year there was a link to buy season tickets.

Quite the combo.

Reminds me of a Ron White bit about tiny airports in podunk towns

"We took off from the Beaumont airport, hair care, and tire center there"

That whole bit was well done.

If a parent was DUMB enough to give money to this sham of a 'college' they deserve to lose every penny. This 'college' was a complete joke from the get go. EVERY parent that sent their kid there did this to say their kid played collegiate athletics. I have zero sympathy for them, they thought they could buy a resume, they bought a soft turd.

So help me out here. I have only been making fun of the athletic side of the school. Are you saying the educational part is a sham also?

I watched the video on their website about the school as a whole and seemed like every single student they showed in a classroom setting is an athlete. Is that all that they accept? Will their degrees turn out to be worthless? Is the school accredited with any legit accrediting board?

(Those questions sound like the opening monologue to an episode of Soap)

I saw their schedule before their site crashed… Looks like they have to play Oregon, Ohio State, Texas, Alabama, UGA, Penn State and Notre Dame all in a row. I feel sorry for them poor suckers

LSU should've played them and paid them a Mil, it would've kept their Athletic Budget for 10 Years

If I recall there was a guy here whose son was recruited by them to play baseball maybe. But basically yes, they only take athletes on partial scholarships where tuition is like $14k but they offer a 50% scholarship. No accreditation so their degrees are worthless. The campus is in an industrial building warehouse in the back of Crowley, but that info is almost impossible to find as they clearly have someone scrubbing information from the net. This place is a total scam.

They’ve also recently expanded and now have another location in Florida too.
