This keeps getting repeated, but there’s been pretty much zero evidence of it so far

I fingered a Russian lady Wolfpack tennis player on a Loyola NO tennis trip to Milsaps while her boyfriend (my teammate) was driving the van.

The athletes are worth absolutely nothing without the schools

What are the programs worth without the players?

It doesn’t matter if a car costs $100,000 or even $1,000,000. It’s not worth a shite without a tank of gas and someone to drive it.

Emphasis on so far. Do you disagree that it: (1) will occur or (2) may occur?

May occur? Maybe, but doubtful.

All internationals that mostly stayed in their circle.

Their roster this past season consisted of eight players.

All eight were foreigners.
- 4 Europeans
- 2 South Americans
- 1 Chinese
- 1 Egyptian

Talking about cost-cutting/trimming athletic department bloat/reducing inefficiencies is akin to trying to close the barn door after the horse has bolted. Non-Revenue Sports are now expendable: it remains to be seen which ones will remain.


ULM and La tech both existing as 4 year universities with 20 miles of each has never really made much sense.

Non revenue sports at smaller Universities should play within their state and not some big regional conference. You could set up a nice schedule just playing instate schools and not have a lot of travel costs.
