When did the TAF start?

[R1Letterman]

I believe it was in 1987 and they eventually sued to get separation from LSU later.

do they have membership meetings? Do their members get to vote on certain issues, the way shareholders do at many major corporations?

just remember LSUNO changed their name without a whimper from the LSU system and when USL did the same thing using the same process all hell broke loose including a new state law which was ruled over by a LSU law grad, just that should tell you all you need to know about the state system ruled over in Baton Rouge, just remember we are a threat to their flagship status

All of that was in place for a long time between 1958 and 1990 with little to show for it on the football field. The TAF and its independence are the reasons why their program continues excellence.

Along with millions from TV money and bowl money.

It's really unbelievable. Like turbube said LSU got money from a coca cola tax for years and state screws us every chance they get and it's not just the state, LSU has been so scared of us for 30 years the other members of the sec have been wanting UL in the league but LSU always says no per finebaum cause they are so scared what ul would be if they didn't hold them back .

I mean if we are being honest every shortcoming we've had in athletics is because LSU hold us back and has been doing it since the coca cola tax per turbine

[Professor]

And they got that money mainly from sec, the sec has wanted UL got over 20 years but LSU ha constantly said no because they are scared of UL and have been since the coca cola tax per turbine

If I had the money, I would rent a billboard in Baton Rouge and list all the criminal offense committed by there coaching staff. I would then list all the top businesses supporting the TAF funding them.
