Smalls...you know I don't get mad. I laugh at the flagship designation. The only thing that the designation attracts is professors that can make more money for themselves. It has no bearing on an education or for that matter the job a student gets hired for after graduation. Why pay more for the same piece of paper? That is the real joke being pulled over everyone's eyes.

You can argue until you are blue in the face, but in most fields a degree from LSU means more than a degree from ULL. Now, does it mean that much more to justify the difference in tuition costs, i don't know. How much does it cost to attend ULL? With TOPPS, I'm willing to bet the difference in cost of attending each school for an in state student is marginal.

I'm not arguing. I pointing out that the 'flagship' designation being thrown around so profoundly as always has no bearing on the quality of an education nor the quality of a job. So, I would like for you to quantify just HOW a degree from LSU means 'more'.

A degree from lsu in most every field will get you no better job than a degree from ull. Lsu acts like it is some great academic university. Funny how lsu is trying to pick on ull academics like most sec schools pick on lsu's academics. Unless you are going to one of the few prestigious colleges in this country you can get a better than average job with a degree from almost anywhere if you have good work ethics and common sense.
