Re: Alden Report Released by University of Louisiana Athletics
The name is a big issue... but if we somehow miraculously got the name tomorrow, and failed to follow through on the rest of the recommended actions in the report, all we will have done is gotten a name we like on our athletic tombstone.
And if we follow through with the rest of the report, the name will cease to be an important issue, because people will call us what we want, or we will be so happy with our success that we don't care about the name any more..

Re: Alden Report Released by University of Louisiana Athletics
I think we should call ourselves University of Youngsville. UY, YU, or U-YOU.

Boomer, it isn't a question about whether we can afford to do it, but about we can't afford NOT to do it. Just like I have been telling you for years; none of these actions are expenses, they are investments.

Are you ready? ACADIANA UNIVERSITY. The Acadiana Ragin' Cajuns.. ARC. No more confusion with Lafayette Leopards. No more "you guys are in Monroe right?" It sets us apart. It will take time but will work. There is no other Acadiana, no other Ragin' Cajuns. Do it.
That would have more bite and regional identity if it were "Universitč des Acądian"
