Dr. Maggard Radio Interview

[Duggie35]

I listened and did find it very informative.

Really enjoyed the interview. As always, Dr Maggard displays what a true professional he is and, I thought, showed a really good grasp of lawsuit and the resulting chaos that is going to ensue.

It was very informative on how as Dr Maggard states "If we Don't we Won't"
If we don't all invest in NIL by donating to Krewe Allons, then we will not be able to continue winning championships as we have been. The landscape will really change in 2025 when the P4's will be able to put up $20 million to pay their players. Most G5's including UL just do not have the money for that. We must separate ourselves from the other G5's and put our self in a great position. This is all from the interview.
It was great.

Hate to be a wet blanket, but at some point we have to stop and ask ourselves why we're still doing this. If athletics was the front porch of a university and its best marketing tool, perhaps the front porch is too expensive now. Our overall budget is what? Around $36 million? And we're supposed to compete against people throwing over 50% of our budget solely to pay kids to play games. I think everyone in America needs to take an introspective look inward and stop blaming cultural decline on politics and start looking at what we prioritize as a society. The dollars being dumped into sports and entertainment (now with gambling) is insane.

Great Perspective. I have seriously been questioning this personally as well.

Think about it all the app subscriptions, cable/dish tv, internet charges, what you donate to athletics for UL, season tickets, hotel rooms for away games or even home games.
Gambling on sports.
I personally spend alot of the above on entertainment sports which is what college sports are now. It is wild.

Don't forget about how college itself is one of the most overpriced scams going right now. That look inward needs to focus on that as well as the athletics craziness.

Good interview...I just signed up for 'Win With Ten' for football.

[ecajuns]

it is brilliant marketing and a painless ask....just $10 month. cancel your HULU subscription or just dont get McD once a month....Spread the word, we need the masses to succeed. Cajuns can overcome and succeed!

I decided to donate… I love Cajun athletics and willing to put a little more skin in the game…. I also heard the interview and came to this realization, short of having a private investment fund bank rolling us or getting into a bigger conference with a high dollar payout, we will NEVER compete for a national championship at the current D1 level unless the rules change… this is sad but true… NIL and the transfer portal has done much more harm than good to the G5 level.
