Transfer Portal

Yeah, this.

Made the point earlier.

Or maybe Tony Chachere's or Tabassco can start sponsoring NIL contracts with recruits.

Yeap, but Ide imagine even then the RCAF would need the money to balance the books. Would have to be outside the university deals.

The problem is at UL we don't have enough money to pay the bills much less offer NIL deals. We need all the RCAF money to try and stay afloat.

According to Bull dogs barks and bytes the UL athletic dept was 5 mil in the hole in 2020. That is the only place I heard that, not sure if it is true.

Rico is entering the transfer portal. He stated position on the depth chart as the reason for entering the portal.

We did lose 4 mill last year... Just means we had to balance the budget with other monies.

It's not that much, but I'll leave it at it was red.

Zombie LoTech is using the maximum allowed under the general fund law they helped us with about two decades back. Some might recall that McLeast opposed it because their general fund was so much lower.

We’re not using general fund percentages for athletics like everyone else in the ULS. Still it’s heartwarming to hear that Zombie LoTec fans are so concerned about our well being.

Seems like boosters are going to need to seriously rethink where their money is going.

5 years ago it was a great idea for boosters to contribute to the RCAF because that allowed us to spend on better facilities, better coaches, etc. which is what helped us attract better athletes.

But in 2022, I have to assume a steady
paycheck will do a hell of a lot more to attract recruits than facilities or coaches.

It seems like we’re going to have to do what all the P5s are doing and establish a booster-led NIL fund. We obviously won’t be able to compete with P5 schools, but this is the new reality. The game has changed. The sooner we learn how to play it the better.

Be careful, Napier has already picked up Jack Miller through the transfer portal. Tony Chachere may be next.
