Game time will be announced Monday.
And, imo, the decision to cancel is another reason why the alumni association is fading into oblivion.
I think the students that receive over $100,000 in scholarships care.
So do all the alumni and I would hope members of the athletic department that attended the Kickoff party in Houston cares, as did the alumni who attended the kickoff party and tailgating in Austin.
I think the department deans that the association supports care.
So do all the students recognized by the alumni association for being selected as outstanding graduates by the association.
Also think all of the Alumni Association gala honorees care.
I think Dr Savoie, the office of Advancement, the office of development, the office of student affairs, the office of enrollment management, and all of the other departments the association supports care.
Also I think the fans who attend all of the events at bowl games and events like the Wally Pontiff Classic should care.
I also think that the UL students affected by hurricane Ida who received support by the Alumni Association fundraiser cares.
All this carried out by a staff of seven employees and a host of volunteers who care.
And by the way, the busses to South Al were never setup, so they couldn’t be canceled.
While our income has dropped due to cancellation of every fundraiser in 2020 because of Covid and a change in our funding model which no longer requires dues to be an alumni association member, there is an uptick in donations.
At the Houston kickoff, we received over $1000 in loyalty fund donations. While nowhere near enough, it is a sign that more alumni care and the association is not heading to oblivion.
If you think any of the things mentioned above are worth doing, then donate to the Alumni Association Loyalty fund.
If you don’t think those events and programs are not important and not worth doing, it shows you really don’t care about the university.
Jay mentioned it was headed to oblivian...we had a reunion of sorts during the Nicholls weekend. Most of the 15 to attend were out of towners. All but 1 graduated from USL. That 1 person attended for 3+ years. None of them knew anything about the growth and improvements of our school. All were stunned it had grown and improved as it has. Isn't outreach to ALL alumni job one for Alumni Assoc?...There are hundreds of posts on RP about the "not caring" coming from our alumni assoc.
