I agree, Louisiana is not ULM.

A contracted five-game home schedule that includes an FCS team would be completely counter productive.

Well, ULM always wanted to be like Tech, and now they are. Both have 5 home games...

We could do it, but we would have to take a 2 for 1 and Dr. Maggard doesn't want to do that. That is the issue. The only way a P5 comes here is in a 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 deal. Until we are willing to do that, then we will not get a P5 here.

CajunT explained a while back why Maggard doesn't want to do 2 for 1 and 3 for 1 deals. Until he does then we will continue to get 20K crowds.

If not a 2 for 1 or 3 for 1, could we pay a p5 to come here 1 game?? Like 2 million get it done for a mid tear team. Baylor, MSU, ole miss, TCU, Tex tech…

That particular season instead of a away g5 as part of a home and home just go to a g5 for a paycheck to help offset paying a p5 to come here. So 1fcs at home g5 road and p5 home p5 road.

No, the value is just not there. Maggard knows what he is doing.

It’s time to get happy going to Cagin Field to see the home team. Good things will come from that.

Baylor is mid tier?

How or why would UL pay 2 million for a mid-level P5 to come to Lafayette when the Alabama, Ole Miss, Texas, Texas A&M or Arkansas never paid UL that price to go to their place. And they can afford it much more than UL can.

Because this is typical RP stupid.

[Duggie35]

Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to get some P5’s to come to Cajun Field, but other than Texas A&M (#2) and Alabama (#4), no other P5 teams that have come to Lafayette (ie. Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Minnesota) are listed anywhere in the largest crowds in Cajun Field history! Until fans decide to come support the Cajuns and not worry about who the opponent is, this athletic department must remain fiscally responsible. Paying big bucks for a P5 to come here when we fans have proven (by lack of attendance) that playing Southern is more attractive just does not make sense. Doing so would be acting like the government and be spending money we don’t have!

Preach broths cause many need to learn . . .

Initial reaction is that a 3-for-1 is unfair and should not be entertained.

That is short term thinking at its finest. That line of reasoning has Louisiana approaching a 20-for-nothing exchange rate with the P5.

As to why you pay them more than they pay you, it's because they lose more when they hit the road.
