wrong. enrollment isn't that far behind schools like Ole Miss or MSU. It's bigger than Tulane who is in CUSA.

Dude, I've lived and worked in Acadiana for 15 yrs. Ive worked, played, hunted, drank, kids played, sleepovers, talked wives, the fricking whole nine yds with people of Acadiana...

This isn't an opinion. This is a fact. And this isn't my opinion. The facts of where they are at speak for themselves, not me posting this on TD.


And if you really want to drive a stake at the problem: Ray fricking Authement drove this bus off the cliff a LONG time ago. It didn't happen last year

The name change thing was an incredible waste of energy that could have been directed at stuff that actually mattered (like, I don't know, petitioning CUSA for membership continually, as Tech has done for 10 years).

You better yourself by bettering yourself (and, on the field and in the stands, ULL has done this to an extent). You don't better yourself by renaming yourself as something that sounds better than yourself.

Ole Miss and MSU are about as small as it gets for public schools in major conferences. It's apples and oranges to compare to Tulane, which is an exclusive private school.

It is for a regional college. Major conferences are entirely made up of large, state universities who draw students from all over their states. Sprinkle in some big-money private schools with long histories in athletics and these are your BCS leagues.

ULL is a commuter school serving a small market. If you were a commuter school in a major market, you'd have a chance to perhaps become a Central Florida or South Florida or what Georgia State and UTSA are trying to be. You simply don't have a market for it, nor does Louisiana have a market for two flagship schools.
