As a market, the PAC 12 is looking at Texas State because they are right in the middle of Austin and San Antonio and are claiming those markets.
UL is right in the middle of Baton Rouge and Lake Charles. If we similarly claim those markets combined with Lafayette, we have a bigger market than Tulane does. We need to sell this. And we need to sell our athletic facilities and R1 academic status.
Remember Tech in the WAC? lol. Point made.
We need an athletic department with a pulse. We can't even plan ahead for water at a hot football game.. Will never happen.
OK you're saying there will be a Top Tier 50 schools max. Then there will be a Middle Tier consisting of P4 has beens with a serving of high level G6ers, maybe three dozen or so schools, leaving another three dozen FBS schools looking up from the bottom of the barrel for eternity. We know with certainty UL and every other G6er is shut out of the future Power 50. Making the middle tier requires being proactive, now. A wait and see strategy results in a chronic crick in your neck from looking up all the time. If we look back over the past 15 years, UL deserves credit for being very proactive with multiple facility upgrades. The latest and largest one the new football stadium. We've come a long way. Time is right for next step up.
