State of Louisiana: NIL

[CAJUNSby90]

I agree that this is not good spending. However, per agreement the money must be spent on alleviating the vapor problem.

Campaign wont change any of these kids minds when it comes to vaping. Waste of money

Thoughts?

Can the "state" hand out NIL deal money without putting them up for bid?

Yes, legislature has allowed very liberal circumstances. Plus, and I think this is right, at least some persoanl service contracts do not require a bid.

NILSU.

Ha! In this state?

Long Family legacy. Leander Perez. Edwin Edwards. John Alario. Francis Thompson is STILL in the legislature. Cleo Fields is returning to D.C. to “represent” us.

What did the Long's ever do for UL? To my knowledge, they only aided LSU. So, why do we name our volleyball facility on campus after Earl K Long and why do we still have a Southwestern sign on the building? It's part of our history, but we are moving forward not backward. Time for a change from Southwestern to Louisiana and drop the Earl K Long building name. Maybe rename it after a prior university president or perhaps more appropriately after Dutch Reinhardt who headed up intramural athletics in that building along with being an H&PE instructor, head basketball coach (games were played there), freshmen football coach, and tennis coach. I can't think of a better person to rename this building after.

Louisiana as a whole should scrap the Long family name off all state buildings, bridges, etc., and we should remove that statue from in front the State Capitol and throw it in the river.

How cool would it be to have a neon red “LOUISIANA” sign above the volleyball facility?

Some of us appreciate history. Keep the Southwestern Light up. It’s unique and really cool!

Trivia:

Dutch Reinhardt is the one that ended the best attended game of the year.

Might as well topple the capitol building into the lake also.
