2016: Alden Report Released by University of Louisiana Athletics

[Stabil123]

I didn't read the whole thing, but if you scroll to the end they have feedback from schools like App State, Troy, Akron and ULM. Right after that, they have a few pages on our "branding" issues.

After a cursory review, the obvious item that stood out to me was Student fees
Ar. State generated $4,567,829
Conference USA ( assume it was an average) $9,388,836

[Cajunjeb]

Much to absorb in just the 'Branding' section, but so far this really sticks out to me:

"LARC" as a 'ticker' instead of ULL. LARaginCajuns.

I would rather ULA than LARC.

[CajunStros]

Everyone does realize what the other LARC stands for right? I don't need to explain the level of jokes that would be made.

[Cajunologist]

We are LARC

Yep....that one stood out biiiiiiig time.

I'm now reading the comments from other schools.

[CajunFan89]

We are LARC

if they change the ticker to LARC can we be LARP ( Louisiana's Ragin Pagin)

Christmas is here! Let's hope TPTB don't break the new toys.

This might be fun. Page 60, but not done reading yet.

"Loved" the ULM interview. Could not find anyone with a little more Cajun game day experience from Monroe since 2008?

Really? (starts page 74)

Akron interview hit on the lack of coordination of pregame music. My pet peeve on game day. Think this kills the "electricity" the App State guy talked about? You bet.

Don't like the pepper. I get what they're saying though. If the kids like it, they're our future fan base. We've not had a generational physical mascot in decades. If kids like it today, their kids may 20 years down the road.

So we just paid these people to tell us we need to brand ourselves along with reversible contraception and mentally handicapped people.

Geez. Some things never change.

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette is exploring ways to broaden the fan base and increase self-generated revenue for Ragin' Cajun athletics.
