LOL, wasn’t insinuating anything that way. Got a few decades on you, my mind has kinda closed down in matters like that.

Here are some h/s signees for the 24/25 season. The annual b/s of all this D1 talent in Louisiana isn't far off, look where the bulk of these players sign. Creole Soccer Club is funny thou.

Every year same take. I’m glad our current coach doesn’t agree with you. 15 / 20 percent of the 2025 roster will be Louisiana players.

And how’s that worked out for UL soccer over the decades? Not one sniff at a championship. Didn’t even make the SBC tournament last year.

My take will remain constant until things change.

UL WSOC and WBB are 2 programs that will never change until they are treated more than just satisfying Title IX. That might be something you and I agree on.

Athletics is already struggling financially all they need is 2 more sports that drain revenue and doesn’t generate any.

Always liked the idea of men's soccer, we have a great facility. Soccer is very popular in south Louisiana. In reality, the NCAA/Title IX/future NIL House settlement expense put this out of reach. Schools and/or conferences should be able to reduce the number of sports from current levels instead of forcing some of this college athletics deficit spending across the country. There's donor fatigue out there.

Ever cross your mind that’s part of the A2’s end game?

Yes sir. The A2 & Disney/FOX networks. The university presidents are complicit in all of this, too.

What about goimg back to when some coaches were also teachers, move the salary cost back to academics to free up some money for athletics

That's not fair. The ladies improved a lot last season. Give them a chance.

Made the SBC tournament in 2023, didn’t in 2024. Improvement?

Numbers don’t lie. WSOC since 2000 with Dave Poggi. The program exists “because”. And I honestly enjoy good soccer.
