    The Pac-10? That’s Coach Q — new, better competition, national exposure, and energy. If UL got that invite, the excitement would be off the charts. The Cajun community would show up, the money would flow in, and you'd see support like never before.
    If the money is already there and simply not being given by alum, that is very sad. How can they call themselves cajuns, they shouldnt need to be prompted

    So the unit share distributions would be even greater!

    If there ever was a time where this was even a possibility, that time has LOOOOOONG passed.

    Easy, poor investment. If the admin continues to be “comfortable in the SBC” and we continue to see everyone leave us, I can easily see a very frustrated major gift donor reducing their donations or stopping altogether.

    You can’t expect serious support without a serious plan. Alumni aren’t going to throw money at mediocrity — they respond to purpose, ambition, and progress.
    If the vision would be to raise the budget and position the program for an invite to a major conference, then say that. Set the goal — and the money will follow.

    It's always depressing seeing others at least try to raise their Athletics Brand while we just sit on our hands wasting time.
    I really believe the main issue is political, more than it is money. It's having the will and fortitude to press forward even with political pressure from the east.
    The reason we don't see anything is because our leaders, in order to get other things they want accomplished and receive credit for is to not pursue bigger aspirations in Athletics.

    Imagine if they ever beat us in football. The SEC might come calling.

    Proof positive it matters not how good you are at sports.

    This.

    Look, I have doubts the PAC12 would be a correct move for us. I have doubts if it’s correct for Texas State.

    That said, and I know I’ve said it here before, it must be nice to have a university President who at least is enthusiastic about pushing your school’s athletic brand and being proactive with it. That’s what their President has been. Last summer the all out athletic promotions and booster encouragement in San Antonio and Austin was probably more than we’ve done outside of Lafayette Parish the past five summers combined.

    It would be such a breath of fresh air if Martin Hall took this approach. Either it’s politically or they are afraid of their own shadow.

    Here we go! Texas State has informed the SBC of their intention of leaving and will accept invite from the Pac-12.
    Another 21st century FCS move up, passing us by. This rerun is getting old. Ragin Cajun fans who have invested in the programs over decades are the most patient fans on the planet. If the rudder is welded in place sailing with the Sunbelt long term just tell us.
