2014 Branding Fiasco: UL-Lafayette or UL-L (SBC Reference Guide)

[California Cajun]

No doubt it's a strategic retreat. I just wonder how much longer the administration is expecting us to do one thing while they do another.

Are we out of the Sun Belt yet?

[Duggie35]

Can THE guide be amended? Hopefully it is a misprint!!!

[CajunEXPRESS]

So the compromise acceptable to us is a - Thank God ULM will drop it's SBC demand to be UL. We won a - why bother?

I'm done. Don't care.

This seems like Louisiana politics at its best. Our admin may not have much choice but to back down for a while. Politicians could cause us a lot of problems much worse than being called UL - Lafayette

And now from Buckely:

Karl Benson pushes T-Joe firmly in front of the bus . . .

Sun Belt commish Karl Benson on name choices of UL-Lafayette, UL-L for the Cajuns: “Whatever (they) informed me to do we would have done."

Wow!

I'm done. Don't care.

That's what our detractors want.

[CajunRebel]

Wait, I thought we were winning the name battle?

[raginsaints]

Farmer and Savoie are monster _______.

[CajunJack55]

That's what our detractors want.

Seems like that is what our "leaders" want.

If that's the case then NAME NAMES!! Let EVERYONE know who's using their political clout to hold back the SECOND largest university in Louisiana from calling itself a NAME. At least go down fighting!! What a joke.

Cali, my wet shaving brother, if our President folds like a lawn chair on an issue we've been fighting for years for (decades), then what is to be gained by fighting still? We now have official, confirmed communication from our PRESIDENT that says we want to keep our name "Lafayette." Maybe we can change our mascot to the leopards, too! So exciting. Geaux ULLLeapords.
