Students statewide choose University of Louisiana

[PWHebert]

A university can call itself whatever it wants. Miami alumns and current students refer to their school as the U, and that doesn't cost a dime. I for one am just tired of seeing university money spent on a ____ing contest. Lets get back to what really brings prestigue and honor to a university. Academics and (yes) Athletics.

Apparently you have not read Louisiana law on this issue. The school can indeed not call itself what it wants but must use a more regional name when naming itself. Only LSU can call itself what it wants.

Pretty funny stuff there. And to an extent your right. It all comes down to the golden rule. Thoes with the gold make the rules.

USL all you have to do is drop the western, University of South Louisiana, but no it had to be University of Louisiana @ Lafayette and share it with @Monroe.

They lost any chance of uniqueness.

Stupid!


P.S. @monroe lost the Indian so we will probablly follow their lead!!!

Yes you need to change the name of University of Louisiana at Lafayette. You should drop the Lafayette as there is no need to insult the city. Also drop the Louisiana, the state has already gone through a lot and should not be insulted by such dastardly organization carrying its name.

You should call youselves. The University of Lousy Cheaters. It keeps in the spirit of the off season practices, ineligible players playing the team, rampant dishonesty amongst top officials, corruption, fraud, racketeering by the management, trying to bring down the state's flagship university and causing more grief to a state already in the midst of grief and hardships.

This is an organization of crooks, cheaters, rogues etc.

This vote of the student body is silly. By having the vote many students will think that the vote will actually cause the name to be changed in a valid manner. The truth is that the courts (filled with LSU GRADUATES) will never allow us to have the name University of Louisiana. It will never happen folks.

It's time for us to get over it and try to find other ways to promote our university. Why is it that you go into 90% of stores in Lafayette and you can find much more purple and gold than vermillion and white? Because they promote their university.

I say let's promote the most unique nickname in the country. Forget this name change, it's not going to happen as long as LSU controls the courts and the legislature.

Oldalum that is a lot of bull. What recourse do the legislators have if the

University would drop Lafayette from its name? Take away the funding? Can you imagine the outcry across the state if the legislators would pass a budget that did not fund a major state university.

The legislature and the courts have already told us that we MUST use the name Lafayette. They also said that there would be financial penalties for promoting ourselves as the University of Louisiana. There was no outcry when we were told to put Lafayette on everything (except from Lafayette). There was out cry when we chose to unilaterally change our name back in the 80's.

i am definelty voting to drop the Lafayette part and I can't to say that I go to THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA!!!!!

The only crying in the 80's was from LSUA&MC and their supporters in the legislature.
