Mardi Gras at Cajun Field

[JMV JustMyView]

Wait, you think you have to have "a level of professionalism" to know or talk to people in the positions I described? You think because i wear a hat and t-shirt on a sports show that I can't be connected? You really don't have a clue what you're saying, do you...

Look man, honestly, again, I don't care who you are. It's not really you that I'm fighting against. It's the people that think like you, who continually hold us back from achieving our potential as a University and an Athletics program.

But you did come after me, specifically. You attacked the pod, you told people on this board with real contracts in their possession that they made up the numbers, you told us we didn't know what we're talking about, on and on.. So unfortunately, I'm forced to expose you. It's nothing personal. I never threw the first punch. You did this to yourself. And when I find out (and I always do - one way or the other), lawd hab mercy will it be glorious...

Remember the fun me and you had when I called you and told you who the other guy was. Fun times.

I’m not convinced it’s really a BIL deal. Nobody has given me a FMV estimate. I’m talking solely about Mardi Gras.

In this case, I think the FMV would be the maximum that the university could charge before Mardi Gras would refuse to agree to that deal.

And no one knows what that is. Because I don’t think we’re anywhere close.

So yet another non responsive response. Put a number on it. Everyone here is _____ing about it being too low. What’s it supposed to be?

It’s a 5 day festival if I’m not mistaken. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. They paid $7k a day. What should it have been?

Start somewhere. 10x that. See what happens.

So to redirect the subject from the trolling, can anyone tell me what they think fair market value rental of CF parking lot is for five event days?

I think it's worth what the Mardi Gras Association is charging.

Another non response

Only a non response if someone lost track of the overall thread.

You presented specifics on what the Mardi Gras Association is charging.

I said UL should run their own show as part of Hospitality Management and make a donation to the Mardi Gras Association.

So, I think fair market value rental of a Cajun Field parking lot is what the Mardi Gras Association is charging. I just think UL should be the one doing the charging.

I fully expect to see a MG float next year cancelling Ragin Pagin...

But they don’t, nor have they. The association accepts the risk, both from a liability standpoint and financial standpoint. There’s been years in the past where Mardi Gras has been terrible due to weather. I don’t know if I would want the university to accept that risk, or even put resources towards putting on a festival.

Using your logic, any function that uses university property could pretty much be done by the university, so why rent space out?

Unless one thinks "work" rhymes with "liability" that is not my logic.

The university accepts the type of liability on topic every home football game.

My logic is quit out sourcing every single function that resembles work, especially when you are giving away money.

If the positive financials dictate, I have no problem with out sourcing or renting properties.

I am saying what the MGA is charging is fair market value. (that answered your question) what the university is charging the MGA is not fair market value.

Having said that, it is very hard to constrict an allowance, once given freely.
