Why can't the smaller LA schools get it together?

With the talent in the area (gulf south included) why are winning season for I-A colleges in LA so few and far between? Shouldn't 7-5 seasons be pretty regular at least? Even though a lot of the top talent that doesn't go to LSU gets raided, there should still be enough guys to fill up some teams.

Not enough LA talent to go around to 4 DIA LA schools outside of LSU.

ULL and ULM should be DIAA but instead they constantly suck on the DIA level but take some recruits away from LA Tech and Tulane.

A lot of big schools like Michigan and A&M hit LA hard.

A lot has to do with money, coaching, facilities, competition, everything, I believe all the other schools except Tech should be D-1AA and some should drop to D-2...Then they could be competitive and win a few titles and just be a more well run program... they can still get kids, I just know some kids dont like going to those schools and getting their asses hammered for 4 years...

Pretty much with the scholarhips limits in place now you would think a school like Louisiana-Lafayette would do much better in the Sunbelt conference.

Because teams like Ole Miss, Arkansas, and Texas A&M come in and take the 3 star-type guys we don't want.

The second tier of Louisiana talent still goes to BCS programs, not to Tech, McNeese, or any schools like that (with a few exceptions here and there).
