    That is assuming Acadiana is tapped out, and that fund raising efforts have 100% coverage.

    I am tempted to ask the same question I asked Nelson S. (over the readio) when he stated a similar line a year before Gerald Hebert was hired.

    "If they were only able to raise enough money to cover their own salary, wouldn't it be worth it?"

    Please clarify. Is the Tiger Athletic Foundation a TOTALLY autonomous financial entity? The TAF website does list some employees of the athletic department, but it does seem to have its own workforce. The answers received will determine my vote.

    Correctamondo, Turbine. Gerald has sure earned his keep and then some. Gerald needs help and hopefully the new AD will fill the assistant position, and help Gerald with some Major Fund Raising. Acadiana is not nearly tapped out, Gerald is just scratching the surface, ask him.

    We need to help Gerald by sending businesses to him or setting up meetings for Gerald to come speak at to raise awareness and money!!!

    The first thing UL has to do is make every attempt to throw off its regional image... hell, even when we do get on tv for a game, half the time the announcer calls us "Lafayette"... stop the contempt toward Baton Rouge... They are the biggest city in the state and if UL wants to be a STATE school, that has to stop...

    Second thing is that the Sun Belt is going nowhere... there is a stigma of weakness about the Sun Belt, especially in football, that will never go away.. being at the bottom of a Mid-Major is better than being in the middle of the Sun Belt pack.. look at CUSA.. they have about, what, 6 bowl tie-ins?...
