Glasco leaving

The softball program has fund raisers in the form of a golf tournament and end of season crawfish boil. That is to help the program. If Glasco needed NIL money why didn't someone in the administration or Glasco (since coaches at UL tend to have to fund on their own) go to ALL supporters with a game plan to raise the money he needed. That never happened but he complained that the money wasn't there. No clue if $500K per year could have been raised. If you don't ask the answer is always no. Deggs isn't playing around and he has a game plan. BTW he said fans didn't want to put up for the NIL he didn't say the fans didn't want to support the program financially. Supporting the program and supporting players individually is two different things.

If you know this, why are you asking me why Glasco didn't ask for NIL money? I don't know, I'm not the softball insider here. Could it be because the person that was in charge of raising UL NIL resigned? In which realm do you exist that you would not think UL Softball doesn't need NIL? If every other program including football, baseball and basketball needs NIL why would Cajun Softball be the exception? If you are the insider you proclaim to be you certainly should know some of the needs of the program you say you support right?

As for CajunMike, if what he said offends you then look in the mirror. He simply said Softball supporters should give more money to help the program. He also said he understood why they wouldn't when it concerns NIL. I don't like it and I know he doesn't either. I also know what level he supports this program as well, so I do question his love for Cajun Sports period.

None of the aftermath is shocking. There will be many many more…

Amen, well said. I will never contribute to NIL the way it is now.
UL winning or losing doesn't affect my life one iota, so I'm going to attend games as long as I'm entertained by them, and fund my grandkids 529s before giving one dime to spoiled athletes not satisfied with a FREE education.

I never understood the rationale behind 11.5 scholarships for 30-35 players on softball/baseball.
I do believe all of the athletes should be on full scholarship like football and basketball.

I'm not an insider and never said I proclaim to be, and I never said softball didn't need money or NIL help.

. . . I guess they going to take their red and black uniforms and play them is Texas . . . unfortunate we don’t have what it takes in NIL support to compete going forward . . . I know that Des canvassed supporters for NIL, it appears that Deggs is doing likewise . . . hopefully they are/were more successful than Glasco . . . only time will tell . . .

[JMV JustMyView]

We will probably have one more. I believe four will go to Texas Tech and two to LSU.

[Marvin]

Is this a consequence of the RCAF not being separate from the foundation and under the shadow of Martin Hall? Would fundraising improve for all of athletics?

Wow... distruction of a program unfolding

[CajunVic]

Wow... distruction of a program unfolding

it didn’t distract the last three times and probably won’t distract this one either

however, getting, retaining and developing talent that stays will be increasingly mer difficult absent NIL finding

we know the solution . . . it’s just if we want it . . .

Softball had 19 players at the end of the season 2 of those were redshirts.
