Is this the thread where MAT tells us we are about to bust in the big 12 and the only reason we not in sec is politics then Cajun T( who actually knows less than MAT believe or not) runs in tells us how big time we about to be when the budget triples soon and anyone who actually makes decisions on this come here to laugh on how clueless they both are ??? Gotta love the summers around here
Care to add something constructive to the topic then? Since you’re a professor, let’s hear your ideas.
I love the Rice connection... think of all the colleges in our direct area (States that we are actually touching) that we could play on a regular basis.
I can tell you this much, one knows a number of the top conferences commissioners, presidents and coaches. Has been invited to a number of the Big 10, SEC and other conference championships by the presidents and conference commissioners. He has negotiated contracts for college and pro coaches and football players. And as recently as last year was invited to speak in front of 5K people at Alabama's Alumni Association. He knows Alden well and also the advertising firm hired.
I also speak to several former athletic department employees that are now working at P5 programs. When they have time to talk, we talk about the changes at UL and what is taking place in their conferences. They may not have all the information, but they have a lot more than any local media persons and certainly as much as a number of people in the know here outside of Alden, Learfield and Maggard.
