He accuses Landry of sabotaging LSU in favor of UL. But notice that he never mentions how UL is benefiting from any of it.
As for sabotaging LSU, one could take the opposite view for each decision, that these are meant to benefit LSU in the long-term. (I don't take either side, I'm playing Devil's advocate here.)
It's important to recognize the writer's blinders, because I suspect that what underlies this is a perspective that becomes alarming once stated aloud: If you are not 100% for LSU, you are 100% against her.
Which means that if you support any another school even somewhat, you are trying to injure LSU.
Mind you, there are people at every college, including some of the people here, who take the same perspective about their own institutions.
The reason we need to take this idea out and dissect it, is because it reveals what keeps Louisiana down. Because we can't see that our futures are tied up in Louisiana education overall, we keep shooting ourselves in the feet. We remain a banana republic because we can't see that a weakened UNO, ULM, Grambling, or any of them, weakens all of us.
