UL AD and Coaches THRILLED With Louisiana Tech Being Added to Sunbelt West

[Turbine]

They could have both voted no and latech could have still been added. Being with ULM hadn’t been our demise, latech being in a “better” conference wasn’t our demise, not sure how this will be. Unless you think them being on equal footing they are just better than us.

ULM was craving them as an opponent nothing more nothing less.

Louisiana would be in far better shape than it is right now if it been in a conference without ULM the past 25 years.

Always someone else’s fault. Not long ago our budget was barely bigger than theirs.

I didn't say it was someone else's fault, but splitting your footprint in half is dumb.

Splitting your footprint in 3 is insane.

Not if you own your footprint, just own them and they will be fighting over the leftovers. This could be the nail in ULM’s coffin everyone has been wanting.

Rent Free is when there is no outside source bringing ing up the topic.

Tech being added to the SBC is the compete opposite of rent free.

Exactly.

UL can't even market past Lafayette city limits how are they going to own their Louisiana footprint?

It would be a different matter if they already had a handle on marketing to the entire state like President Stephen's did in 1901.

So then why we worried about Ruston?

Maggard is in this position as just a job, he has no emotional attachment to UL at all. He could care less because once he is gone to another job, he can forget UL. He doesn't have any passion to improve UL to get to the "next" level. In scheduling, Maggard loves him some FCS move ups. T-Joe has passion for UL but not in Athletics. Our leadership is failing us, the long term fans and Alum. They are killing the fan passion.
Adding LaTurd in no way helps UL.

Because it splits Louisiana's footprint three ways.

For a school that can't market, they need all the do nothing help they can get.
