McNeese Cancelling 2020 Football Season and more

Ahh Plaintiff Attorneys. The profession that has ruined this state and country. Too many of these Greedy idiots. They seriously need to make law school and the bar more difficult to limit the numbers of attorneys we have in this state.

I heard a speaker a year ago, who was an advocate for tort reform in Louisiana. I can't verify this, but he said Louisiana had the most attorneys per capita in the country. There is only so much traditional legal business to go around, so in order to generate income, they have created the lawsuit culture we now deal with. The state should eliminate the Southern Law school because it accepts all the LSU law school rejects. That would solve much of our problem. The same can be said about Loyola Law School in NOLA. They accept all of Tulane's rejects, but they are a private school, so the state can't do anything about them.

This issue could be taken care of by the politicians, but wait, they no better than the lawyers.

How many politicians are receiving money from the lawyers?

All good points. You would be surprised of how many of those heads of huge law firms were LSU and/or Tulane drop outs or could not get into LSU and/or Tulane and finished at Southern. They think they are almighty gods but they are no better than the filth they represent.

For McNeese intertim athletic director Heath Schroyer, the decision to not play UL for the Cajuns' Sept. 5 football season opener was an easy call.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

McNEESE ELECTS TO SUSPEND FALL INTERCOLLEGIATE COMPETITION

LAKE CHARLES – McNeese State University has elected to suspend all intercollegiate sports competition for the fall semester with an intent to play in the spring, Interim Director of Athletics Heath Schroyer announced on Thursday.

This follows an announcement made Thursday morning by the Southland Conference Board of Directors to suspend all league-only competition for its schools in the sports of football, volleyball, women’s soccer and cross country with an intent to play conference competition in the spring semester and compete for championships.

Other Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) conferences that have altered or suspended their fall competition season includes the Big Sky, Big South, Big West, Colonial, Ivy League, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Missouri Valley Football League, Northeast, Patriot, Pioneer Football League and the Southwestern Athletic Conference.

The vote by the Southland Conference gave member institutions the option of participating in limited non-conference competition in the fall, but McNeese is among the majority of league institutions in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas that are expected to postpone all intercollegiate contests this fall.

“After consulting with (McNeese President) Dr. (Daryl) Burckel and numerous medical professionals, we feel like this is the right decision,” said Interim Director of Athletics Heath Schroyer. “We are student-athlete centered and the health and safety of all of our student-athletes is first and foremost.”

Though teams will not participate in outside competition, student-athletes will remain engaged in team activities in preparation of the spring season.

“This decision impacts many people including our fans, alumni, marching band, dance team and cheerleaders, but it is the right decision. This an unprecedented time but I couldn’t be more excited about our future,” said Schroyer.

Southland Conference athletic directors are beginning discussions for a return to competition in the spring.

The McNeese Ticket Office is working on information regarding season tickets and will release the details as they become available.
