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.

Oh thats you that sits behind me?

I bet Our Lady of Lourdes hospital did not donate $15,000,000 to have their name associated with our current, old Cajun Field!

It’s a great distraction while LSU and their parent hospital OLOL in BR working on a med school intern program here.

Interns have already graduated from med school...

Is CajunMarine81 really JMV?

Sorry, couldn't help myself

Nope not CajunMarine81, but he doesn't have to share anything if he doesn't want. I have heard some small talk about what he is referring to. I have zero idea if it is true, but I will fill my inner circle in on what I heard.

Is the front porch rotten from the joist up to the roof? T Joe coined the phrase that athletics is the front porch of the university, but it looks pretty shabby to the casual observer.

I guess those of us that don't know the super secret handshake are going to have to wait for the Cliff notes version of this saga.

This forum is the National Enquirer of the UL world. I have to say that I don't buy it. While there may be some things happening that could be concerning, I don't think athletic donations are going for academics. Why? Because Dr. Maggard has assured donors that fund donated to RCAF are used for the purpose for which they are donated for. I don't think he would lie about it. Call me naive, but I think this stuff is being exaggerated. Nobody has even stated anything specific about their allegations. Until someone makes a specific verifiable claim, I am assuming this is all BS.

……Well this topic seems to pop up every so many years….I give my version of the RCAF and Foundation……We have several schollies in the foundation that are given….there Are about 3 per year……the board gives the names and the amounts and how each penny was spent…..certain amount was given to the kids…..certain amount to be on hand and certain amount that is invested that grows each year …..also it shows its funds were matched in various programs….when I ask how my money on athletics is delegated, that amount is referenced……. it is shone for all clubs etc……the key to my understanding is that RCAF is trough the Foundation cause it SAVES money!
