Thread: Athlete (2001-2003) Michael Southall

  1. Default Door still open for Southall's return to UL

      Southall was in good academic standing at this time last summer when he was charged with parole violation, and reportedly maintains that status entering fall classes.

    "I know there are some discussions ongoing between he and Coach Lee," UL President Ray Authement said. "I'd hate to say what those discussions are, because it's a matter of what he'll accept and what Coach Lee will accept.

    "He (Lee) and I have discussed the situation, but it's got to be his call and the conditions (for a Southall return) are his. If Michael Southall accedes to those conditions, then he might be here. But it will not be a free ride."

    The situation is expected to be further clarified by the end of this week.

If you are talking business, then realize that big time athletics can help all aspects of a university. I am a big cajun fan because I grew up in Lafayette, but I am an alumnus of University of Florida, a university that clearly understands big time athletics and big time academics. If Southall has done what Coach Lee demanded and has earned a shot at playing again, then great for him and hopefully it will help give the Cajuns the edge needed to get to the next level where the Cajun Dome is filled most nights and eventually down the road maybe Cajun athletics will have enough funding coming from a large fan base so that the corrupt Louisiana LSU politics will not matter... But this will take a lot of winning and not just racking up Sunbelt games... Now if you want UL to stay small scale in both athletics and academics then just keep the status quo and don't take chances... Don't kid yourself about academics or athletics at UL, on a nationwide scale the university is unfortunately considered third tier in both respects... But this could change in the next decade if the university was better supported and sometimes athletics can accomplish a big piece of that puzzle....

    I agree with just about everything that you have said except for one thing. On a national scale, the only area that we are considered to be 3rd tier in is football. All of our other athletic programs have had a tremendous amount of success. Oh, by the way, our computer and engineering departments are second to none in the country.

    I'm sorry if I was misunderstood in this post. I DO NOT CONSIDER US TO BE 3RD TIER IN FOOTBALL.
