I would have thought this would had been a hot topic
Re: Post-Alden Report, UL still seeks multimedia partner
In reference to production equipment.......
"The Cajuns, however, so far not have been willing to invest — a cost that potentially could surpass $1 million.
As a result, it is one of just two all-sports Sun Belt members whose production quality is not deemed by ESPN to be worthy of use on the ESPN3 digital streaming platform — the most widely distributed currently available.
The other is the Sun Belt's only other Louisiana-based school, ULM.":mad:

...under Farmer media and marketing was treated more like an infomercial, not a revenue-generating commodity.
It's all about marketing!!!

Between the hiring in March, and him getting his arms around what he's got we've made one important hire. A lot of getting ready to do something. I'd expect some pretty big announcements in the near future.
I'm thinking that's why he's made himself available to the Advertiger and BEV.

Or he doesn't frequent the Corner Bar...

That guy is gone. I'm not piling more earth on his grave. I wanted him gone since the first SBC shakeup. Some here wanted to give him more time. We're four years behind.

I just hate that we were behind the big cluster of conference shuffling when we finally got our s___ together.
Once most of the realignment chips had already fallen was when we put together a good stretch of football/bowl wins, an NCAA tournament bid, hosted a super regional..in addition to a heavy investment into athletic facilities and a shuffling of athletic leadership/vision.
I'll give Farmer some credit where it's due. A lot of projects did get started under his watch. I'll thank him for that. It just seemed he lacked the leadership or foresight to take those things and parlay them into the next step for Louisiana athletics. If another round of realignment does come on, I have no doubt were in better position to be more attractive than we were 5 years ago. I hope Maggard and co have the vision for making it happen.

Scott Farmer grew the job into something he could personally no longer manage. For that, I am thankful. However, it was obvious that he could no longer handle the job long before any attempt to replace him was made.
