Turdbine, I'm glad to see you're an equal opportunity editor...

OBVIOUSLY

McNeese was part of LSU in 1939, an arm of the school. The 2/3 law was not "required"

In 1950 it was established as a new "stand alone" institution, the Louisiana Constitution required that the Legislature's approval to the tune of a 2/3 vote. It didn't happen.

Turdbine, I hate to rain on this theory.....but....in 1939, Louisiana was operating under the Constitution of 1921, which it continued to do until Louisiana crafted a new one...in...wait for it....

1974.

So...in 1950, the Legislature would have been constrained by the same constitution it operated under during 1938-1939.

However, in 1984...when U-S-L got slapped for an vainglorious social climbing overreach, it was operating under a completely different set of rules that had been in existence for approximately 10 years.

So...unless you can point to a specific law that supports your case, I'm afraid your previoius post on the matter is RIFE with error. As usual.

LOL...

Hmmm.....I wonder how your filter will handle "U.S.L"@Lafayette? This could get fun!

The authority in place in both 1939 and 1950:

HN2 La. Const. art. 4, § 14 requires a two-thirds vote of the members elected to the Legislature in order to establish an educational institution other than those existing in Louisiana in 1921.

It's been nine years since McNeese and Louisiana-Lafayette last played on the football field, and 30 years since one of the most storied and heated rivalries in all of college football came to a halt.

But all of that gets re-energized on Saturday when the Cowboys visit the Cajuns at 6 p.m. at Cajun Stadium in Lafayette. And despite every player on both teams weren't even born when the yearly series came to an end in 1986, there's enough "older" blue and gold along with vermilion and white blood in Lake Charles and Lafayette that remember the good ol days when the two teams battled it out.

Uhhhh, okay. It's not 1976 anymore

[Turbine]

Good read.

[Zeebart21]

Good read.

Yeah but it's not 1976 anymore. They need to quit pretending that it is.
