This is the OT. Arguing and caring about stupid shite is what we do.

Because they are in touch with what the public and student body wants.

Now go put your vagina hat on.

well the idiot academics didn't make the right call a week ago, showing how completely out of touch they are with their students and alumni.


Then you replace them.

You don't do their jobs for them.

Maybe the academics think academics are more important than football, crazy concept...

It's just typical of the overbearing nature of the governor in Louisiana and the state's political apparatus.

maybe the people who were hired to make those decisions weren't being proactive enough so the BOS stepped in?

Regardless of who made the decision, it needed to be made. Pretty stupid for LSU to grant 1100 students tickets and then technically tell them they can’t go because they have to go to class. And before someone says they can go to classes and still make it to the game, bullshite. They are going Sunday and coming back after they wake up at noon on Tuesday. Why even go if you can’t enjoy the whole experience? My .02

Then why allow the students to buy them through the school? If they think academics is more important, that's a pretty stupid thing to do.

Oh I see, so what you are saying is that if the game were in Miami this year they wouldn't have sold student tickets. Got it.

This board constantly complains about how screwed up LA is.

One of the reasons we are screwed up is because we don't know how to do things the correct way.

How are we supposed to get good university administrators when we have a BOS that will go over their heads and make decisions like this?

We will never do the big things right if we can't do the small things right.

So you're going to fault a governing body for intervening when the people that should have done it right didn't? Fairly certain this falls under the definition of supervision.

So they should just let the people they supervise make the wrong decisions?

I reiterate, OP is a tard.

It makes sense to cancel classes, but I don't know why people made a big deal about it.. If you are a student just don't fricking go.

You are not going to miss nothing the first two days of a class. In a lot of classes the professor/instructor doesn't go full speed. They wait those few days to let the drop and adds take their corse..
