Arkansas State: Just putting this out there......

The fact is if you wish for a conference mate to get better, it will come at the expense of other conference teams. I’d rather a team keep sucking, never know who will take their place as Bottom Ten fodder.

Temple, Navy, Cal, and FIU all have resources way beyond ours. ULMost is bleak. They should explore the SLC but won’t

Navy athletics department doesnt have to pay back Navy academics for the scholarship tuition money nor do they have to pay for room and board and meals nor any facilities costs, and dont even have to pay most of the salaries.

And Navy can “order” however many students they want to attend and pay for their transportation out of academics

Neither does any other university.

They say they do to boost the appearance of their athletic budget.

SHOW me one story in the history of NCAA athletics where an athletic department held a ceremony paying for the tuition of 300 athletes.

Seems Ike that would be a big deal for any and every school. It doesn't happen.

Now then, TAF has had media events when they cut the school a check from their surplus, but you don't see that often and you never see this from athletic departments. EVEN THOUGH it would be a huge win win for all involved.

The truth is Arkansas State had a short period of football excellence in a weaker SBC conference. They’re mediocre to bad in the rest, have no softball. They never were Troy, or UL.

Yeah I want everyone to be better, but they’re not all that. Maybe they were ranked just can’t recall that time. Yes, they were our long time rival, as bad to mediocre teams.

We really need to retake Troy, and the best of the East.

Let’s not forget how many coaches have left since 2012, we always said it would catch up to them eventually….

Not necessarily so. Every conference member could win all their non conference games and everyone benefits in the conference overall health. Then let conference games be whatever it becomes.

fair enough about tuition cost, but what about facilities cost. they can get money added in federal milcon appropriation without alumni donating a dime.

i think only reason only one you see do what you describe is because lswho are lame and are in denial that they never paid back the original cost of tiguh dormitory.

Last time I checked ULM beat UL.
