    I really don't give a ____ because I won't be participating.

    hey, and that is perfectly ok . . . as grown adults we all do on a day by day basis what floats our boat . . . but condemning a system neither you or they can change and taking it out on those with Louisiana across their chest is probably not appropriate . . .

    I'm not taking it out on the kids: I hope idiots give them millions.

The athletic department leaders must decide in order to fully fund women's softball at higher levels, what other women's sports funding is decreased? Same question goes for men's sports. Painful but necessary. Some things gotta give.
    This article explores what you're referencing: https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.co...dget-shortfall

    This is just the beginning of the new era of collegiate athletics. With NIL and revenue sharing the question becomes how much money it will take to get the athletes necessary to field a championship caliber team for one season. Money from collectives, athletic foundations, and private equity firms. The financial gymnastics necessary for a trophy are about to become overwhelming.

    Coaches will try to buy players. If that is all you do then it will never work.

    I think you’re mistakenly thinking about pharmacy school.

    PT schools that I’m aware of in Louisiana: Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Shreveport (Franciscan Univ and LSU)

    I believe there are online hybrid schools too, however I’m not as certain about those “online” options.

    PT degree is a doctoral program, unlikely to earn doctoral degree for cost of MBA or even a law degree from a state public school for that matter.

    LSUS is about $25,000 less than Franciscan in tuition over the three years

    I actually think majority of fans will ultimately change this current system.

    Before NIL was implemented, major dollars were already being dumped into programs - whether you're talking P5 or G5 schools. I just don't see a long term future where both athletic programs and NIL initiatives can both be funded at the same rate.

    I'm willing to bet long term something will have to give.

    before NIL, athletes were being paid by the bag man. All that money plus many more is now available to be circulated over the table via NIL . . .

    I heard the story from a local aTm supporter how he was in charge of placing an envelope every week with 5 $100 bills in an envelope and leaving it in the top desk drawer of a local running back from New Iberia . . . he was the bag man for that player

    That is a fair point.

    That leaves me to the following conclusion: either UL was not participating in under the table deals OR we were and there should still be (relatively) same amount of funds available to pay players.

    If we weren't participating before & every other school was, we shouldn't see drop in performance.
