Academic news from this morning

In post #13 You said: The brightest and most talented students overall could care less about athletics. I then asked you this: Are you saying that UL doesn't have bright and talented student-athletes? Answer the question! I personally know plenty of bright and talented students that absolutely care about athletics.

Not sure what you’re not understanding. Again, student athletes were not part of the discussion. It was students. There is a difference.

Nobody attends a school they never heard of.

And the most gifted already knows the name(s) of the universities they want to attend. Well known athletics or not.

It only took 58+ years to be ebullient for the 1st time. At current pace of R&D growth.....this will likely be an annual ebulliency outbreak.

Just a decade away from passing half billion mark for R&D.

Don't stop getting your name out their because a certain demographic has their mind predetermined.

The Ivy league used athletics in the late 1800's and early 1900s to create awarness.

Nothing has changed, athletics is the only way you get name recognition which in turn makes selling a known entity, much much easier.

I didn’t say to stop. But marketing athletics to the upper echelons of academia has no bearing on their school(s) of choice. Everyone else. Sure.

Well you should know UL has a lot of valedictorians, salutatorians and top tier students from all over the state, country and world. Some are even athletes who play for UL.

UNO is less than $20M with Tech under $30M. And these are the number two and three in the ULS. UL is way ahead of everyone else.
