The Red Zone

IDK about that. Reading the good write up that cypremort provided yesterday about this gives me encouragement that they will be more in-tune to what we want. This quote in particular is what I’m referring to, but the article in general is a good read and I suggest anyone interested in this read it:

”BNC will maintain its relationships with campus partners and remain responsible for staffing and managing the day-to-day operations of its campus bookstores. It will also work closely with its campus partners to ensure that each BNC campus store will maintain unique aspects of in-store merchandising, including localized product assortments and specific styles and designs that reflect each campus’s brand.”

Here is the link again to the article

Good news then. I Hope it turns out well for Cajun fans.

Will they carry RPCA gear?

Just an FYI: the new location on Lewis St is no more. But I guess it’s good news, since we have rented that space to Barnes and Noble, which provide a nice revenue stream for us, and what the original plan was for that space.

Maybe the RZ will move back to Blackham?

It seems like the University, with its business and marketing school, could hire someone and come up with a plan to run their own stores! Whats next, B&N teaching courses!

Ok, I did a little research on this: looks like the B & N bookstores, and B & N College are indeed 2 separate entities:

Everything I saw has Louisiana's Ragin Cajuns.

Hats on the first page :-(

I like a lot of what they have, but every item that I’m looking for (a long-sleeve button down shirt) has the hot wheels logo. Looking for a simpler logo……preferably just a FDL, but maybe the stacked logo….so none of these appeal to me.

I have a best buddy who lives here and has a kid who went to UL….but he is an lsu grad. They are good people though, and even have season tix to UL basketball. Anyway, he thinks it’s funny about what the ‘rules’ are for when he buys any UL gear, and I always have to remind him of the big 3: no hot wheels logo, nothing with yellow in it, and nothing with Lafayette on it. Of course, they have similar ‘rules’ for lsu gear, as do most other school fans.

Sodexo’s trash food, Ticketmaster’s crazy fees…I wonder what B&N has up their sleeve for Cajuns fans.

Question, is the University going to deduct bookstore, or auxiliary fees used for operation, from tuition?

my daughter is at USM and Barnes Noble is the book store and you can't really tell the difference and she can do her books online or rental from the web site
