p5 Move up

[Turbine]

our admin decided that was the time to try and posture as an up-and-coming P5 candidate.

Not accurate on the posturing.

If they wanted to posture they would have gotten out of the SunBelt.

The mistake (in this context) was propping up the SunBelt at Louisiana's expense.

Fortunately Louisiana going all in on the SBC is starting to pay respect dividends, minus the money.

Selling out stadiums won't get you any more interest from the P4 conferences

UL would do so much better for itself by just leaning into the small school mantra, which allows you to do quirky stuff that sets you apart from larger schools. Look at the attention our $2 natty promotion got.

Its money! In order to expand we need butts the more butts we get our chances of bringing in more money.

For us we need butts in the seats to be able to bring in more money for our program.

Us double and tripling out prices is putting the cart before the horse!

It is having a negative effect in the money we are bringing in.

We got to expand our fan base before you start raising prices.

This is where coming from Missouri or Arkansas doesnt help we do not have the fanbase yet to do what we are doing.

They are trying to take the easy way out. Well thats not going to work here!

Also this is not Tulane, BYU, Liberty we do not have the resources and the donors they have. We are public institution we have to rely on other means. Like our popularity and our large alumni.

Teams like Texas A&M and Texas, Missouri have both!!

Already think i know how to do it they just got to implement the plan, and if it dont work then i am wrong and we are just destined to remain just the way we are.

Until we exhausted every avenue i am not losing faith in this University. Problem is they havent even tried!

Oh I agree with you fully.. and I think there is a very real opportunity for UL to reach full parking lot and full stadium on gameday... but it's not going to happen using the current marketing approach of "we have a football team in your back yard so be considerate and support them"

Yup, slap each other on the back and congratulate each other, then dine on bacon wrapped shrimp.

I don't believe anymore that anyone presently in G5 will see a opportunity to move up to P4. Guessing about 10 years from now the P4 will slim down by at least 20 schools further swelling the G5 (or G7?) ranks. Our ceiling is ascending towards the top of the G5, a perennial Top 60 football program. We need multiple 10-11 win football seasons, making the CFP and multiple men's basketball NCAA bids to be in a "top of G5" conversation. A good start will be winning big this 2024 football season.

Every Cajuns game should be a party. Every sport.

It should be wild. It should be fun. It should be Cajun and it should be ragin.

We don't need three more assistant directors of Marketing. We need one person in charge of making the gameday experience fun again.

If the games have a reputation of being a good time, then your record/opponent/etc don't matter nearly as much

No chance

Our media market is useless to the P4 conferences, and we aren't even the most popular school in Lafayette

True but ironic since thats all they want to call us

Maybe the games were more fun and more ragin when we were young, because, nobody was in charge, we didnt need to be told about a game day experience

When the p4 sends teams back down, the g5 should black ball them and make them slide further down
