Apparently it matters to Cajun fans, they are cheering the situation

Dude, I know you don't care for us, despite your brother-in-law or whomever being a coach at the school, but don't please don't bring Kickadouche style crap in here about our fanbase.

Most of us feel bad for UAB and question what might happen if a consolidation into one LSU board ever occurred in Louisiana. The elimination of duplicate boards might give some state budget benefits, but no doubt COULD negatively affect athletics for the non-flagship schools.

However, at the same time, many of us were pissed that our administration, in old Martin Hall fashion, completely screwed the fat girl in the last Conference USA round of addition. The opportunity is there for more and better bowl tie-ins, TV contract revenue sharing, and the chance for possible rivalries with schools like Southern Miss, Rice, and renewed with WKU.

I would expect that if we were to be in the same position as UAB and another FCS school was chomping at the bit to move up to Sunbelt, they'd do the same to try and position themselves, and I wouldn't blame them.
