Thread: Acadiana Advocate named official news partner for Cajun athletics

    Default Acadiana Advocate named official news partner for Cajun athletics

    When I moved to Lafayette almost nine years ago, one of the things I was most excited about was being in a college town again.

    There's the hustle and bustle of student life. The sense of school pride is on display everywhere. In a college town_— and Lafayette is no exception_— the university is a distinctive part of the culture; it's woven into the soul of the city

    Advocate article

    Somebody obviously explained to the Advocate this would never happen with "Lafayette" forced into articles.

  6. UL 1984, 1999 . . . . Re: Acadiana Advocate named official news partner for Cajun athletics

If you look under Sports within each section, you will find UL Lafayette under Acadiana and Baton Rouge. We are not found under New Orleans. I would think if we want exposure in New Orleans, we should be added. Also, UL Lafayette needs to be corrected and changed to Louisiana. If Learfield/IMG is pushing and protecting our brand, surely they addressed this and we will soon see this corrected.

    There were told by Dr Maggard and Patrick Crawford that was the case, and now they have agreed to our Brand Name of Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns, or Ragin' Cajuns. The news division will still refer to us as The University of Louisiana @Lafayette as the Advertiser does as well.

    This was going on before Foote was hired, he pushed them once he started submitting articles. The conversations started with Maggard and Crawford, commitments had to be made before it moved forward. The Advocate made it clear they were ready to work with UL after the hired Foote and a number of other media staff from the Daily Advertiser.
