T-Joe and university "leadership" are just like those conservative candidates we get from time to time who run for the state legislature promising to "fight the good ole boy network", then they get to Baton Rouge and realized it's no fun not being invited to the evening parties at Ruth Chris, Little Village, etc., so they cave so they don't have to sit home bored.
T-Joe and others at UL don't want to get left out of those fun gatherings because they promote their university "too much". So here we are.
