TIGUE UPDATE?

[LaCajunsFan]

When are we going to hear an update from SF?

Since he had told me via email that we'd hear something this week, I just asked him that very same question. Stay tuned.

Since he had told me via email that we'd hear something this week, I just asked him that very same question. Stay tuned.

Here is clarification I received from someone involved with the baseball program in an email this afternoon. I won't post the entire email, but the comments are from Coach Robichaux concerning the rumored donor and the cost of the entire project.

"The original budget for the project was $10 million, bricking the outside added an additional $3 million. Now budget looks to be $16-17 million."

" On the donor, gift was never $2 million, it was and is $250,000.The hold up has nothing to do with the separation of the RCAF from the UL Foundation. The hold up is the wording of the agreement. The current agreement calls for the money to go to RCAF if the baseball stadium does not get built. He is asking for, and getting, that it be specified that if the stadium does not get built the money goes to the baseball program. He is giving the money because of Coach Robe, not because of RCAF."


So it's been cleared up for all and the source spoke directly to Coach Robichaux today! As for Scott Farmer's press conference, nothing new on the timing.

Okay, so the whole project is held up over $250,000?

Thanks Brian. Based on the new info, I would suppose the $21M number was based on the projected $4M number estimated for the new clubhouse?

And why we worried about wording of it not getting built?

[Rougarou]

I understand the donor is worried about that wording. His $250,000 should go where he wants it.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Because he doesn't trust UL. Of course it could be he's wanting to be sure the money gets to exactly where he wants it. Still there's a world of difference between two million and a quarter million. So what's the hold up.

New Clubhouse and Locker rooms as I recall. We were never shown those plans, but Coach Robichaux mentioned them in that meeting.

Let's do this thing!

Again, just to clarify, the holdup of this entire project has been over $250,000?!
