In-Game Thread: Louisiana vs. ULM

The rumor is that next year could be ULM's last year playing football.

"The $4.1 million facility was paid for entirely with private donations and is the first new on-campus athletic building since 1983. Hand Construction was the contractor on the project."

Hard to believe they build the first new building in over 30 years and then quit, but I guess it could could happen.

Just guys talking on snote radio the other day. It does sound hard to believe. Very few schools give up football.

UAB did it

Ahhh, so now when we win its the players who got it done?

Basin's statement is true. And as for the future and UL being a better football team, I need only read your posts this year and hope that the coaching you very correctly criticized... improves. A part... only a part... but clearly a part of "coaching" IS the talent of the players. Let the simpletons argue the top ten "coach speak" factoids about football. You are one of the MANY that participate on this forum... that knows precisely how coaching impacts the program... and that we need our coaches to step up... and that includes stepping up and making sure the talent is everywhere it needs to be.

ULM would lose out on a lot of revenue if they dropped down which is why schools rarely ever drop down. Maybe the lower travel costs in the Southland will be enough to offset that?

Either way, ULM has no business playing FBS football. The gap between them and the rest of us is already huge, and it's only growing bigger. That tiny $4 million dollar facility is proof that they can't even keep up with the rest of the Sun Belt schools.
