re: Officials say ULM won't be following UAB's football footsteps

The most reasonable solution is to combine La Tech and Grambling...they are 2 miles a part. Name the new school after the most famous one - Grambling. you can add tech on it Grambling Tech, if you want to honor La Tech. ULL and ULM should be allocated the money saved by combining those two. AND, an added benefit will be that the IQ at Grambling Tech would then be high enough not to turn down any future bowl games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grambling needs to close tomorrow, but we all know that the NAACP won't let that happen. The riots in Ferguson will look like child's play of they close Grambling. It won't matter how much it loses each year and how much they tear up. Grambling won't close in our lifetime.

LOL
As if La Tech would be open arms about merging with Grambling.
Just like UNO had a fit when the SUNO merger came up (speaking of a merger both schools need).
Just like LSU would be if merged with Southern...

I didn't say join Tech and Grambling. Tech would never do that. I said close Grambling. Period.

bass fishing team? Really?
Really, although I do agree that the football team is generally shite except for when they beat a SEC team and gets the attention of the locals. ULM's problem is that Monroe folks are pretty much all LSU and they give zero fricks about ULM, unless they have a winning season with a notable win. However, they could generate a ton more interest if they would just recruit their own backyard. Damn, there are at least a dozen solid high school programs that have players getting their teams deep into playoff runs and ULM barely notices these kids. I bet if they put a solid group of Neville, Ouachita, West Monroe, Carroll, Wossman, and Bastrop kids on the team, they would have asses in the seats at Malone.
I mean surely, they couldn't do any worse if Berry had at least 60% of his team made up of Mecca kids.

No offense but What a fracking ignorant suggestion. If Grambling wasn't a BHC...it would've been shuttered long ago but Rainbow Push would be marching if that happened. Tech's admissions standards are 24 ACT now, you figure it out.

Don't get too upset. I'm pretty sure he was trolling.

ULM is going to have a REAL conversation in 2015 because the state budget cuts are going to be devastating once again for universities and eliminating sports will be topic of discussion.

They shouldn't. Both programs have a pulse and potential. ULM has neither. In reality, ULM should be downsized and converted to a pharmacy college only, but our politicians are completely worthless.

UAB was more than likely warned they needed to go Sun Belt Conference instead of Conference USA.
Every time a woman's or mans sport sport has to travel to Tulsa or Texas El Paso THEY HAVE TO FLY.
If they had moved to the Sun Belt the teams could have rode buses to most every game.
The pooch shite in his own house and now it stinks.

ULM is about one chin-beard away from being a community college.
And in this economic climate, what's the point of having a 4th tier college in the most depressed city in the most depressed corner of the state?
Back to the point of football, with ULM you have a team with no fan base outside of its small city, a team with no history or tradition (#TalonsOut amirite?), and no plan to ever change this situation.
Not to mention their abysmal realtree uniforms are another black eye for the Pelican State.

Sure they told them to go to the sunbelt - to push UAB further into the mud. It will be interesting to see if thy really do take the same budget and feed it into UAB's other sports like they say.
Go to student fees and schools could do what they want and no one would have the right to complain.

Yeah but you're not LSU, and that's all the slackjaws on this forum care about - therefore your school is irrelevant and needs to be shut down. Disregard the amount of students that attend these schools, nothing of any importance has ever come out of these schools aside from mighty LSU and it all needs to be shut down. This state only needs one school and LSU can handle the 100,000 students.

I think they all should move to student fees and be left alone to do what they want. It would take the politics out of it and all of that.
Problem is Louisiana mandates a student vote on such fees unlike the majority of states in the U.S. Hell, even LSU would likely have trouble passing such a fee. Reality is, there are a shite-load of students who attend universities who couldn't give two craps about athletics, especially if it means taxing themselves to help fund facilities.
I do agree with ULL, LA Tech and ULM trying to get student-assessed fees passed to back off the general fund transfer subsidy, but it's a tough road to make any progress right now.

Here's my plan...
I would completely close LSUE, SUS, and SUNO.
I would covert LSUS, ULM, Northwestern State, LSUA, Nicholls, and Southeastern into 2-year community colleges (ULM would retain pharmacy - basically a pharmacy college with an attached cc).
I would beef up the currently existing community college system into more of a trade school system focusing on technical training for jobs in each region,
Remaining untouched would be Grambling, LA Tech, McNeese, ULL, LSUA&M, Southern, and UNO. UNO would receive better funding as metro New Orleans needs a public institution, but they would need to develop a long term strategic plan that makes sense. These remaining 4 year institutions would see higher enrollments, higher funding, increased faculty salaries and recruitment, physical plant improvements, higher research activity, increased degree offerings, higher rankings, etc.

Since ULM uses less tax money than the likes of Tech and ULL, I'd say that Tech and ULL should drop to FCS before ULM does. All things considered, ULM is mathematically a better football program than these other two leeches.
