Worked there for 5 years about 15 years ago, and the writing was on the wall then. Sad to see, as there are some tremendous people there.

Were you there when their admin pretended the school didn't need the advertising value that athletics brings?

UNO still has 6,500 students there so its unlikely the campus completely closes up. Either merge it with SUNO next door or since already part of U of L system make it a satellite campus of UL or Nicholls or Southeastern. Chop off a bunch of admin overhead & exit D-1 athletics. Carrying 14 college athletic teams must be costing them (and Louisiana taxpayers) a fortune. Will take our Governor's leadership to enact some restructuring.

Yes..tried to go DIII, which was the spark for me to leave. Chancellor at the time is a good man, but a combination of misalignment between athletic dept and his office and (of course) Hurricane Katrina aftermath was too much to overcome.

The stories during that time are amazing.

They used to host a flag football national championshop, do they still do that? I remember delgado was always a contender

Imagine that: a school where 90 pct of the people have a preferred favorite team that comes from a scho that kicked them out of their system, and took associated resources away, what could possibly geaux wrong
