Is a fifth New Orleans Bowl doable for UL?

Agreed but I feel driven to push our leaders to get us a viable alternative. I'm not the sharpest tool in the box but I can't buy the fact that we can't get invited to CUSA. I'm of the opinion that we deliberately committed ourselves to the SBC while others had a clear vision of the vehicle they needed to advance their cause. It's really time that our leaders wise up. I'm tired of the silence, excuses, politics, and am of the opinion that we have a unique product and therefore the opportunity to be the best we can be.

I WILL NOT buy into the fact that we cannot sell what we have to CUSA members.

Benson hates us cause he knows we are on the first train out of here, and A State too. After that, he knows this crappy conference will fall apart on him like the WAC.

UL and Arkansas ST aren't the only ones

Neither have much of a budget now, they both raise the majority of their funds. But cuts will come across the board for the stipends, starting with travel cost for all sports. More bussing for Basketball and Football.

Yeah....try selling a recruit that you are big time while riding a freaking a bus to Jonesboro.....Swaaaaalaaaaaa all over again

Even before all recent upgrades and success, UL had more to sell than any of their recent invites.

All CUSA wanted was a target budget.

You have been there, I haven't, so I'm curious, how much recruiting happens during travel to and fro games?
