RCAF?

Then he’s the one who renewed the contract? Not good.

I’m not sure of the timing on the latest renewal. I know Aramark was also in the running because a family member was with Aramark at the time trying to get the contract. The thing to remember is that the contract isn’t just for athletic facilities, it’s for full campus food service.

RCAF misses on a lot on "new money" in major regional markets, such as Atlanta, Houston, & Dallas.

There are more 20 & early 30 year old grads making $100K plus salaries in those markets.

They would rather give $1K to UL, as compared to Uncle Sam. They can't make every home game, but we should make it an event when the Cajuns play in Houston, Dallas, or Atlanta.

In 10 short years, those same UL kids are promoted to leaders in their organizations or they have well established business relationships in their respective markets.

Our friends created a health care start up in Nashville, TN five years ago. This past season, they were recognized by LSU and invited to come sit in a suite at a home game. These are the efforts that count.

You have a large pool of young grads, but UL(RCAF) seem to ignore the small guys dollars.

This conversation is dead on. What purpose is RCAF even serving? It seems like a captainless ship drifting at sea.

I’ve been an RCAF member since 2010. 2 years ago, RCAF stopped mailing out membership guides to investors. This guide included letter from the RCAF director, detailed annual financial report, academic & scholarship amounts, capital campaigns, comparisons peer institutions, and more. Can we go back to being transparent and including investors in the fundraising process?

I heard the same thing. Covid 19 mandates are over. He has two choices. Move to Lafayette or take a final paycheck. No more excuses!!

Hired in 2018 and increased his role in 2020 and we've never heard of this guy? His resume is impressive, but he can't function effectively in a remote location.

Admittedly out of spite, when I chose to get my refund for the Covid season and had to endure the runaround for almost a year, I decided to not renew my season tickets and subsequently ended my $100/month donation to RCAF. Both things that have been on autopilot for over a decade. No question as to why. No attempt to lure me back in. Just a "got it" and hung up the phone. You need people working for RCAF to care and I haven't seen one that does for quite a while now...

Well, he is doing it.

Just took a look at Yousef Club 2021 annual numbers...In 2021 4547 total Members, $4,551, 290...an average of about $1000 per member per year. They are paying attention to lower level donors and students....amazing how that works...Funny they don't mention what revenue goals are, only numbers of members...Whoever takes over RCAF needs to pay attention, but as long as its under the Foundation, all they will ever worry about is $$$ and not number of members. So very shortsighted...
