OK, it's time to come clean.

You really graduated from LSU, didn't you?

USL class of 77...and I dont appreciate the assumption

Post docs and research staff (two biggest) but also affiliated researchers from non-academic units such as federal and state entities (national labs, field offices, etc.). Also, faculty from other institutions on sabbatical or visiting appointments. Finally, industry visiting R&Ders. Reflects a research environment that is sought after by other groups. UL does well in this area given some of the world-class R&D units we have.

...unless this somehow translates into better athletic support from the public and administration, I almost don't care...

So academics exists only to serve athletics?? I can't imagine you learned that at UL.

And don't forget, when you make an assumption, you make an aςς out of you...

...and mption.

No sir, you assumed, not me. I've posted here for years, then you question if I'm an LSU grad?

As far as my response to your post, I'd love to see some balance between the attention/plans of academics and athletics. Great PHD programs are fine with me, I'd just like to see the same enthusiasm and accountability from the administration when it comes to athletics....

I cannot imagine me even dreaming UL would have these goals back in my day. This is just amazing. And I hope we do well in sports too.

The focus should always be first and foremost on academics. Athletics should be used as a boost to the overall environment of the school.

Your thought process is what has led to the downfall of college athletics.

It has also hurt many universities.

One of the reasons we have passed LSU in research funding, is that they value athletics over academics.

And that, '71, is why I made the impolite comment. Apologies.

I love athletics. I love UL. But if I believed we could continue to build our university without athletics, I would be happy to drop to Div III.

That's where CalTech & MIT are. But they aren't public universities, and we have a different mission than they do.

LeauxL, so did Lswho also have open admissions at that time?

Great point.

Where does a 65mil dollar renovation fall in your eyes. Or a 17 million dollar baseball Reno just 8 years ago?

What does it cost in Texas?

Well it's worth it because you get to go to Texas games...

Fascinating, great point
