Updated Athletic Revenues

No need.

The effect is the same, RCAF donors are enhancing the schools reputation, post graduation.

Asking them to time travel and pay more because their income didn't reach it's full potential due to lack of investment in a timely manner to where they could have benefited to the full is disingenuous at best.

No.

We need a law school and/or medical school. A lot of our undergraduates go on to LSU law and Med school to be lawyers and doctors and donate massive amounts of money to LSU.

Athletics puts your degree on the map.

Otherwise you have a degree from a school they never heard of.

Tremendously is an understatement

Exactly how does that gauge competency from our graduates?

[JMV JustMyView]

I’m pretty sure you could get a single season ticket for football, basketball, baseball, and softball for less than $500 a year. No?

I think the cheapest softball ticket would be the outfield for like $110 plus $50 rcaf, $160 for softball only.

Exactly how does that gauge competency from our graduates?

It certainly doesn't give an applicant Carte Blanche, but the less educating about your school an applicant needs to make, the faster the approval process can move forward.

If the employer already knows the school, a little R1 educating helps tip the competency ratings in their favor


Incidentally front porch advertising helped get research dollars that led to R1 status.

There are under 2000 RCAF MEMBERS. There are what . . . 1.5 to 2 times more graduates than that every year. RCAF is a joke . . .

Of course it's a joke AND a direct side effect of having no student fees for Athletics.

If you never helped paint the front porch while in school it's unrealistic to ask them to grab a brush after they depart

2000 is actually pretty good considering they were never educated to do so.

Out of the 2000 how many rcaf members are just members because they have to in order to purchase season tickets? The actual count would be much lower if it wasn't mandatory. For as long as they been around 2000 is weak.

Instead of the usual stickers, trim plates etc RCAF gives away, tees shirts with “Cajun’s 2K” emblazoned on it. Only one size, schmedium

It would also not shock students by seeing an additional $1-2k added per semester.

Please tell me your are kidding. The last time I checked (2021) student feee were $2500 per semester. Right at 50% of the total cost.

Let’s add another $1000-$2000 per semester. Makes perfect sense. NOT
