2016: Alden Report Released by University of Louisiana Athletics

Interesting that he talks about the importance of branding us as LOUISIANA, yet throughout the report, he calls us Louisiana Lafayette. You would think he would call us LOUISIANA throughout the report once he made the official reference, like he did using UL. A lot to still digest.

I had those same thoughts: kudos to him for the UL part, but it is actually just as annoying ...... if not more so .... to have to keep reading la Lft over and over again.

The sections on marketing, branding, advertising, game day management and media production/distribution were an absolutely blistering indictment of the way we do things here. I will be very interested in what changes are made in those areas.

My thoughts exactly. Although, it is difficult to find a section that is NOT a blistering indictment of the way we've done things.

So much potential...left sitting on the table.

This gives me the feeling, that although constructive, this report was written by multiple people. The person ultimately responsible did a ____ poor job editing the document when it came to branding THE REPORT ITSELF!

My favorite: "You need to execute this plan and not put it on a shelf."

Perhaps, but does it change the findings outlining how inept we have been in many areas in our athletic department? We've hired people that actually know how to get things done, the hard truth is going to be hard for some to accept.

$125.00 each semester X 18,000 students x 2 = 4.5 million annually.

But could we get it blessed today?

Yep! That is the key point. No plan will work if it sits on the shelf.

We need to quit using lack of student fees as an excuse for doing nothing. Yes, it would be nice to have them, but in the meantime let's go raise an additional 10 million by doing things in our control the right way.

What an interesting pseudonym for Steve Hale to submit a report under.
