Let's see how well this works...

Correct me if I am wrong: Isn't this the FIRST time the actual ADMINISTRATION has released this type of "guidance" (i.e, that we be called "Louisiana")? I know the Daily Disapoointment started calling us "UL" several years ago and toher networks have sometimes reference "Louisiana," but I think this is the first time the ADMIN has requested this. Yes?
Anyway, I just saw - I think it was either last week or the week prior - the LAST admin reference (i.e., "UL-L" ) in the ESPN Goal Line right hand column that provides updated scores. I think it was the FIRST time I actually saw the "current" "UL-L is the preferred reference" acronym on TV

Check the attached media guide on the Athletic Website. When they sent out the hard copy media guides it was on the first inside (page).

"UL-L" was an accidental off the cuff -one-time only- recommendation by this administration, that was retracted the next day but was pounced upon by national and Sun Belt media.

The admission is so stupid that they didn't have something ready to go back then. All they have to do is use Ragin Pagin as their think tank and audit and this mess would never happen.

Does a new policy actually count as a new policy when nobody adheres to said policy?

I have seen no such policy.

It wasn't retracted the next day Turbine. Dr. Savoie was in California for a president conference when the announcement was made by the SBC. I don't know how many days exactly after it hit the newspaper.

What did he replace it with? The memo said a two to four letter/symbol description we wanted to go by for NCAA purposes. It was used for a lot more, but the stupid hyphen was no accident.

Well Georgia Southern got the memo

And some media.
