This was nearly a half century ago….

For degree #1 - Applied to NLU, LSU, LaTech, SWLA - Tech had the best scholarship offer(s) by far. Took it and graduated debt free….best decision ever.

My dream list was UVA, Texas, Penn, Yale, Wash U STL….economics were never going to let those choices materialize.

Unfortunately, cases like this will force university administrators to establish rigorous control and management oversight for athletic departments.

No longer can the billion dollar enterprises be led by a PE coach. You will see coaches pushed down the authority ladder and corporate control and governance experience lead the organization.

The corporatization of college athletics was already fast approaching. Incidents like this will only accelerate the transition.


And at the end of the day, it is probably a good thing when this much money and an institution’s reputational risk are on the line.

I am going to preach about this again…you need:

Louisiana State University - Baton Rouge - state’s one and only true land grant school - majority of funding must go here

University of Louisiana-Lafayette

Louisiana Tech University

(Any way you slice it, these are the 3 best public universities in the state and it is not even close)

Louisiana State University - New Orleans - lsu must have a presence in the state’s largest metro area

The key is to get the state’s best students going to these schools. Way too many of our best high school students haul arse to Texas, Arkansas and Mississippi for higher education.


That’s it - that covers your entire state - the rest become junior colleges. Louisiana taxpayers waste so much money on NWSU, GSU, SU, SELA, LSUA, LSUE, ULM, LSUS, NSU, MSU….makes me sick…phase out those schools already.

Now, northern Louisiana legal infrastructure is simply abysmal. A law school in Ruston or Shreveport would do wonders for that part of the state. The best young men and women from NLA that graduate LSU Law will be employed out of state before graduation and never go back. It is a story as old as time…..Louisiana needs to find a way to make a two year or 18 month law program to get people working in the legal system…not sure how that would work, but other states are rapidly pushing out non JD legal related degrees. Not everyone in the legal system needs a JD.

All three have nasty gulf water

Jackson and New Orleans are pretty much complete shitholes.

Carbon capture is the biggest hoax this state has faced in a while. This topic could very well make Letlow a one and done senator.

We’re finally getting a senator from northeast Louisiana.

He may be the greatest ever Louisiana high school running back. He had three state championships and was the MVP for his final two state championship games.

Plus 2 - where did you play college golf?!?!

Baylor
SMU
Wake Forrest
Kansas State
Mississippi State
Vanderbilt
Rutgers
Iowa State
Cincinnati
Texas Tech
Louisville
Central Florida
Houston

These schools have no business in the new “P4” lockout group….absolutely none.

I spend a week every September at a friend's condo in Destin, the trashiest people I see down there every year, by far, are all wearing LSU gear

Very true - 95% of them have never set foot inside an LSU classroom. Very trashy
