MAT, other than the obvious, being free of the whims of that bunch of incompetents in the Red Shaft, what are the pros and cons of going private?

So many answers to both. Abraham could answer better than me, but going private has many advantages, IF you can sustain your financial health. (IMO, UL has diversified enough to do that, but I’m not educated enough on the subject to speak on it).

We will need a constant flow of cash, on top of endowment. We’ll have to have scholarships fully funded as well, for all athletic programs. But man... we’d have some freedom.

That’s not what the law says. The “law” dictates that 2 universities have to agree to change names at the same time, and have a city designation attached to their name.

If ULM changes, it will have no affect on Louisiana.

I see an opening here if the law dictates that 2 universities have to agree to change names at the same time. They change to Northeast Louisiana and we change to Univeristy of Louisiana. Problem solved.

As the saying goes, luck is when preparation and opportunity cross paths. T-Joe seems like a lucky guy.

This is very true.

And FTR Jeaux, there were several here that proclaimed T-Joe Savoie the Savior of Louisiana Athletics and beyond..

The future is bright.

Give them UNL University of North Louisiana ... ____es of Polly tech and removes confusion from our branding

Their name was Northeast Louisiana University - NLU. Many of their alumni would like to keep that acronym. So, North Louisiana University - NLU. That is a lot better for them than UL-Monroe or ULM. And, it is a name that a lot of alumni would bye into. They had a lot of success as NLU.

There is a segment of our community that want UL to be private and have pushed for that reality for years. After the next fiscal year, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a more vocal campaign to continue that push. We will be sub 20% of state subsidies at that point, and for Louisiana, especially under this last decade of political incompetence in particular, that is a jaw dropping accomplishment.

Is TOPS just for public schools? If so, that could be a problem.

Nope Tops is for any univ in the state however Tops is capped at the highest public univ tuition
