UL exploring options for regional TV deal

[cajunref]

Our AD has failed miserably every time a major exposure sitation has occurred. Out manuvered in every conference expansion. Then this multi-million (over life of contract) blunder with massive exposure in SE markets.

Dude cost UL in cash flow and an incredible market exposure opportunity......and he is not fired?????

Pathetic

Perplexing is it not

How did we sign them away?
Why did we do this?

I would like to add...

How does anyone know Farmer or anyone else gave them away?
Did any other Sunbelt school keep said rights?
Did the ESPN deal come to a vote of SBC schools and what was needed to pass?
Could have anyone stopped the ESPN deal?

Not trying to start anything...just want to educate myself on what may have happened. Because it sounds to me like if Cox wouldn't be in Cali the network would still be up.

Farmer gave away our rights for negotiating our own television deals. That is why there is no more Ragin Cajun network. Why the Cox 14 State 100+ games a year package didnt happen. We had (literally) a smaller version of the Longhorn Network ready to go marketing the UL/Louisiana brand.....Farmer himself killed it all by handing over these rights to ESPN/Sunbelt without ever knowing as AD what it was he gave away. Gross incompetence.

Policarp testify BROTHER!! We have a BLIND AD with ZERO VISION!! So another words, FIRE SCOTT FARMER and get someone who can see the present and future. We are so past the point of LAP DOGS for leaders. Testicles and Brains are important.
