Steve Hale Interview

[Rebel02]

If Hale were employed by RCAF, he wouldn't be a part of Delta Media. How would that parallel the conflict of interest you're eluding to?

Where did I sat Hale was a part of Delta Media?

So you think bj is donating to TAF?

Through his purchase of air time on 103.7, a radio affiliate of LSU sports.

Apparently donating to TAF and being associated with UL is a no no, so any radio show on a Delta Media station helps support TAF

Totally unfair to the topic. This one really IS muddying the waters.

It was intended to ruffle feathers. I know BJ does not donate to TAF. He does provide UL another radio program on a station dominated by a school 60 miles away.

Being a radio affiliate of the LSU sports radio network is free to the station choosing to carry it. No donation to TAF is required. If Delta Media chooses to donate to any foundation, it's kinda their own business....but they are not required to, as you suggest.

Here are a couple of questions:

We have to establish a brand and our moniker is not the sole brand we need. If we are going to go after football stadium, APC and other facility naming rights, we have to have a brand that will bring value to any corporation willing to invest in the advertising. To follow-up on your question, how does he propose to establish our correct brand, get the media (especially ESPN) to accept our LOUISIANA brand, and parlay that into a substantial value for us?

Also, pertaining to conference realignment, all of our facility improvements, particularly the stadium enlargement in Phase II, are predicated on our being in a better conference. Not much need to enlarge the stadium if we are to remain in the Sun Belt. What does he feel we need to do NOW to improve the perception of LOUISIANA and to secure a seat at a better conference? How will his ties around the country help us in that regard?

Those would all be excellent questions for the guy who actually gets the job. I'm not sure what the point of asking Mr. Hale all of this

Better to keep quiet and appear to be a moron, than to type a jackass remark, and remove all doubt.. Who are we kidding here, there was no doubt.. NvM

I'm not sure what the point of your post is... Another minion I presume?

[ManAboutTown]

I'll be absolutely surprised if Mr. Hale throws any specific individual(s) under the bus. A little PC talk and on to other things. Am looking forward to other possible topics though.

Theres nothing he needs to say that will "throw anyone under the bus". Just stating the truth will be plenty enough to out the process.

I initially thought it was an attack on Hale's current employer. You're trying to besmirch BJ. That's really weird.

[CajunT]

Quite hypocritical to take shots at individuals when you don't like it when individuals allegedly take shots at Mr. Hale.

Jeff your welcome to ask any question.

Excuse me? Read the questions. They would be excellent questions for whomever is the new ED of the RCAF. And I don't think that there is much point to asking those questions to Mr. Hale.

You may need to simmer down and slow down with the assumptions and name calling. I'm just as interested as you are as to how this process played out the way it did...and why.
