Sun Belt Gets Behind Cajuns' Branding – From the Bird's Nest

Then we should not have a problem when it comes to ESPN or any other media outlet.

In regards to ESPN, I think most of our opposition doesn't come from Monroe. It comes from Baton Rouge.

I think ESPN isn't going to spend a cent changing the branding this academic year. When the SBC and NCAA starts sending down things under LA next year it happens.

Hopefully and hopefully they do not cave to any outside pressure.

The conference has a contract with ESPN, if the conference didn't cover protecting its members brands in that contract then they are idiots. Having the conference behind this is huge...we were never going to get anywhere until they were behind it.

News travels slow up there.

I agree. I'm just not getting too excited till I actually see it.

Don't think its a coincidence they waited until a few days before the game.

I'm not saying they will change it next year, but your take on why it isn't happening mid cycle this year is spot on.

LA Logos that the University needs to stick with. Here is one that I came up with basically its a Dodgers Logo, with a different color scheme, but sure that the University can do a different version, like the G's when it comes to Georgia, Grambling, and Green Bay.

We don't need an LA logo, that is strictly for stats and tickers.
