ULM needs to be asked to exit the SBC. I don’t care how long they have been a member or how they helped out the conference when LaTech left for the WAC. They simply are not a peer institution/program.

Likely an unpopular opinion but I think Monroe needs to go and Tech needs to take their place.Quote:

ULM hasn't won in so long that they don't understand that even winning does not necessarily equal attendance increases in the current era of college sports.Quote:

Enhance your OOC schedule with natural rivals.

USM was a nice add in that regard ….. it also gave our northern rival some “separation “ in CUSAQuote:

We have priced and policies our way out of the event atmosphere and manor only about the game. We do not showcase enough consistent marquee matchups to garner large crowds based solely off of the product on the field.
Until the administration can get its head out of its proverbial ass and realize that the section of our base that creates said atmosphere, isn’t the wine and cheese crowd we might begin to see more support again.
