so you're saying time spent together with no distractions help the team bond and through results shown make them better?

i kid, i kid

No you’re not kidding. That is an excellent point. It worked for football as the west division champion and participant in the championship game 3 years in a row. Man there really is something to that team bonding.

Apparently he doesn't agree with your last sentence.

Instead of playing an extra money game to pay for this trip, why not play an extra road game to buy out marlin?

Basketball is dead at UL.

I’m suggesting that we should pay for our fans to have great experiences in the Dome rather than a handful of our boosters paying for a vacation for themselves…

Wake me up when Marlin is gone.

Wake me up when Marlin is gone.

He is going to Puerto Rico, does that count?

[Cajunsmike]

This trip works good as a recruiting tool.

However, the extra money game will go a lot farther way towards improving the tested quality of this team than the trip will.

Can they do 5 more money games?

We are required to have 14 home games due to Learfield contract. So we can’t do 5 money games with other road games already having set contracts.

The retention decision was made in late March. The opportunity to go to Puerto Rico was something that recently arose. In order for the players to get the benefit of this experience, the way to pay for it was concluded to be a payday game. Too late at this point to change the coaching decision. That would not be fair to the three recruits brought on board in the spring signing period. Next March, the staff decision will once again come up. I am pretty sure no buy out will be involved if a change is made at that point. With the situation as such, I don’t understand why anyone would want to deprive our athletes of what should be a great educational experience. Focus on this decision was mainly made for the benefit of the players, not the coaches.

Why would we remove a coach with a 75% winning percentage

This seems like a very serious answer for a comment that was clearly tongue-in-cheek
