re: ULL and name history....

LSU is a better university all-around. I mean, people who can't get into LSU go to ULL and SLU as a back-up if they want to stay in-state.

The difference between LSU and UL is the football team. When people think of LSU they think of Tigers football. I have never seen anyone say anything about academics. I guarantee 10% of LSU is there because of academics, the rest because of the football team. I'd say that 28,000 enrollment leans more to the fact it's so easy to get into. I guarantee if you it's hard to get into, like you say, there wouldn't be that many. Louisiana has one of the worst school success rates in the country and I know damn well those aren't out of state kids.
