Mardi Gras at Cajun Field

[Turbine]

It is, but unless you're Ivy League or Stanford, it's the #1 marketing tool for a university. You think people go to the school across the basin or Alabama just because of their academics?

It's been proven that student enrollment increases with athletic success.

I would say the Ivy League schools reached academic equalibrium through Athletics as well.

If you go back to the end of the 1800's and start of the 1900's, newspapers across the country used to publish Ivy League scores like they were local.

Before the SEC was established the Advertiser was one of those papers promoting Ivy League schools.

Now, unless you're Ivy League or a Stanford, Athletics is more important than ever in getting your name to stick with academians.

Even if they "think" they don't pay attention to sports.

A whopping 5%....you've got to be kidding. Don't we have a Business school? Or is this just rank Dr. A stupidity showing up again...this may have been a great deal for UL 45 years ago...but now? Who's approving this rape?

So absolutely nothing. Thanks for the research on this.

I believe CajunFun touched on this in his reposting of his letter.

This school has a long history of letting others walk all over us. No self-respect.

As we say on RR, low fanbase self-esteem.

This whole deal could be an episode on Sienfeld...Where's LafMan1 BTW? His partners are raping this university...without a "raincoat" if you know what I mean...And UL is easy enough to let it happen...

[R1Letterman]

how much does the RV electricity cost, and was that deducted from the final numbers?
also does it cost just by being on, or only when being used with someone plugged in?

[R1Letterman]

raincoats were an episode of seinfeld
