RCAF Separation

[Grantvb]

Separation is important. As it now stands the UL Foundation has absolutely control of RCAF funds and can divert them for any purpose, even if the purpose has no bearing on athletics. I am not saying they have, only that they can.

so, this move reduces the hands in the cookie jar…..?

. . . isn’t fluidity of funds usually important . . .

That is reportedly the issue…a sustainable cash flow. And one way greater than the current ~2,000 fish (donors) in the pond. Need to keep the base pond happy and find other waters for new donors.

You can’t count on the same people year after year. They “time out”, be it retirement, apathy, or death.

We, as an educational institution, has to have grads who made it big time in industries outside the local O&G world.

RCAF is just a more sophisticated version of the Ragin’Cajun club. Totally run by Martin Hall. The only options for the members is when, what for,and how much money they donate. They don’t choose leadership, or overall direction.

They have totally dropped the baton with regards to growing the membership, and perks.

Actually they need several directors who aren’t well strapped with money but true fans who have proven leadership qualities.

You are correct. They are one step above Alumni Association.

Are there any RCAF financial reports available to the public?

Actually, the only difference is the AA just loves “at Lafayette” like a Jonesing meth junkie.

Both are controlled by Martin Hall. Until RCAF consistently raises 8 figures, MH will continue to micromanage since RCAF doesn’t have the clout to say “we’re a big boy now”.

RCAF NEEDS leaders more concerned about knocking on every darn door and quit worrying about being told no. We have the most marketable nickname in college sports and yet, crickets.

There is a market outside “The GOAT’s” signal range.

…….Here we go again…..having the RCAF with the present set up means more money because it SAVES MONEY (all of the cost of everything to run it)…..ALL of the money going to RCAF is theirs…..start adding the costs of an independent RCAF……computers, paper, office space, and all that can be added to do business……it is done this way to SAVE MONEY!

Control sir, pure control.

Maybe martin hall want to have control of athletics because they think they lack control of everything else, i.e. state, the board, etc etc
