I'm not talking about LSU's perspective. I am talking about it from a statewide university perspective that it is good for the whole system.

LSU doesn't want whats good for the UL System. It wants the UL system to wither away as an insignificant home of little schools. It wants the best students who are currently going to UL schools to go instead to Baton Rouge.

There is a reason why 4 year public universities sprung up in smaller towns such as Lake Charles, Lafayette, Thibodaux, Hammond, Monroe, and Natchitoches before the state found a need to open universities in New Orleans and Shreveport. LSU wanted the kids from the large cities to go to LSU.

There are only so many people to go around in this state. Helping the other public universities in Louisiana is counter productive to what LSU wants to accomplish. That is why UL System formed in the first place, because LSU was so belligerent to the other schools.
