2016: Alden Report Released by University of Louisiana Athletics

"Intramurals ($2.00 per semester)

That would be correct. But would not recreational sports/activities include bowling, and other sports? What would that have to do with sanctioned NCAA sports? Recreational Sports/Activities would seem not to apply NCAA sanctioned sports, but there are a lot of services covered.

I think for T-Joe to have an outside group look at how UL does things is a breath of fresh air. You need something tangible to change the "we have always done it this way" attitude. UL has a history of promoting from within. Now T-Joe has that ammunition to institute changes. I will wait and see if there are, in fact, any changes.

This may be the best post you have ever made, BOP. Now we just need to hope that our administrators can acknowledge that they have been doing it wrong all these years and start doing it the right way. Sometimes that is the biggest part of the battle.

I know this. I have been both the administrator who did it wrong and the consultant who advised a better way.

The companies I've worked for have had consultants since 1978.

The optimist in me says they wouldn't have done this if they weren't somewhat serious about getting it right.

The difficult part will be finding a way to open the purse strings to make the investment necessary.

This report shows me our administrators care.

Current tuition and fee schedule.

Yeah, was at this page but couldn't find anything on the number/cost of university and student assessed fees, apart from tuition.

Are you seeing a link that I'm missing?

True.

Not a step backwards, we will never be the University of Louisiana. Get over it. May as well go a different direction

Ranks right down there with College of the Ozarks perception wise. Never happen, learn to dance with the partner we have.

Just call us the Ragin Cajuns School of Ragin Cajuns

As the number of retired Boomers increases every day---this might be a way to get some cheap experienced retired employees kinda on a volunteer basis---Unlike some with low tech qualifications (ahemmm), we have people that can do it all and wouldn't mind doing some volunteer type stuff for the athletic department---in fact if they liked it, maybe take over their positions!!! lol Seriouly, we have some former athletes and alumni that love their school and are ready to give more than just their money to help the athletics Department!!!

Ask them to work for free until you can create an opportunity to pay them. Wouldn't you do anything you can to help UL boom?

[Cajunologist]

What kind of people would agree to this? Not qualified people.

This is an exciting time to be a Ragin Cajun! #TheOneAndOnly

Maybe Jay, but why wait till it's almost to the point of no return?
