2016: Alden Report Released by University of Louisiana Athletics

[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

[LaCajunsFan]

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

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.

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.

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.

ULA will not be done for fear of legal action.

LARC should not be done for obvious reasons.

LRC seems like a reasonable option.

[California Cajun]

Uh, so what's new?

It's something I've mentioned a number of times on this board. You can not do it without adding student fees at some point. It puts your program at a competitive disadvantage.
