You are falling in line very nicely. I knew in time that would happen. Good for you . . .

Class: "Rising to the occasion" tops "falling in line."

[CajunNation]

Reputation of university by other administrators, current faculty and staff, current students along with faculty, staff, and students being recruited.
...

You mean the students that the university has alienated from football games? Also, I noticed there is no mention of taxpayers in your reputation checklist. Y'know, the people who pay for everything that happens at UL.

I think we are beginning to see where the problem lies here.

I will buy that . . .fixed . . .

[RedTails]

I can't believe I'm taking up for you here, but I think you were just saying, can we not overreact til we know some facts.

University won't give us any updates or transparency, so we're left to speculation and conspiracy.

[CajunVic]

Speculation and conspiracy very seldom solve anything and when they do the result is usually unbecoming compared to what could have been reality . . .

I believe everyone I mentioned with possible the exception of some future students are taxpayers. I think that the average taxpayer in Louisiana is not aware of what is going on at UL, of what we have accomplished academically and athletically and don't have an opinion on the reputation of UL. That is a big part of our problem as many on this board has pointed out. BTW, taxpayers do not pay for everything that happens at UL. We get private donations and corporate gifts also.

Come on Coach you know better than that.

Figured you'd like that one

If this allegation is true, then the university is certainly preserving it's reputation. A reputation of violating a breach of trust of it's RCAF supporters that began under the previous administration.

IF true, RCC lives on, UL athletics forever wrecked. And that whopping < 2k members RCAF drops drastically to “those in the know”…the ULL crowd.

If there is smoke, someone needs to explain and rectify before the next annual RCAF membership giving deadline.

[ZoomZoom]

I'm not T, but if I remember correctly, who ever was in charge at the time, went to the TAF and they helped us get the RCAF started.
Sounds like we missed a step!

Geaux Cajuns!!

Actually missed a second step, fully following the Alden Report.

People drop out of RCAF like flies next year and USL will be sitting there with cranial rectalitis wondering what happened? And not even calling to ask why or get some poor student intern to call at best.

UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA, GET AHEAD OR ON TOP OF THIS, and I don’t mean squash it. FIX WHATEVER. BUILD THE FREAKING STADIUM YESTERDAY. BE PROACTIVE!!!!

I know certainly nobody at USL gives two fs about me…I sit directly behind a whale donor, powers that be don’t even give us the time of day while almost every game someone drops by to visit the big donor. I don’t need my taint tickled, just remember anyone can be a donor and failure to recognize that is a missed opportunity.

I am personally good friends with WestUCajun he definitely isn't part of the problem or or correct person to attack. This guy bleeds UL blood and is a major donor.
