What does that prove? It proves that Tech has had more recent success. Ok, congrats. I think what you are missing is you have two schools with similar programs (and if want to rank them then yes Tech has the better program now) that could benefit from the small travel and a good attendance. If Tech is so superior as you say then it makes even less sense. Good attendance, no travel costs, and a guaranteed 1A win. What's hard to understand about that.

It makes no sense for ULM and Tech not to play. It's a natural. I didn't realize Ruston had a chicken farm.

Why make that trip to Monroe, when the trip to Houston and Hattiesburg pay more money, and get more exposure.

On top of that, with the improvements Derrick Dooley is making in the infrastructure @ Tech, if CUSA expands or has to replace teams, the goodwill and travel exposure from those games will help Techs cause. Not sure if it will help enough,but that is a different story.

Look, for better or worse, Tech has made the decision not to play ULM. Not sure if it is the right one or not, but Dooley seems to have that entire athletic program moving in the right direction, so until some blows up, Tech fans will follow his lead. It seems to be working.
