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

Then all the talk about saving money is a red herring.

Your refusal to acknowledge the changing landscape with revenue sharing (among other things, such as the decreased SBC distributions over next decade due to House settlement) is interesting.

You sir are on drugs if you believe THAT.

Are we going to bet on that?

[Turbine]

I have a strange feeling they are gonna bow down and change the score board for Tech when in town to say cajuns and bulldogs and they won’t wear LOUISIANA across their chest either against LTU. At that point I may consider giving up all things cajuns because they will prove to be spineless.

They did it for ULM.

Not out of the realm of possibility.

There was never going to be an SBC windfall but Louisiana could have gotten $12 mil a year with road games alone and been on TV a minimum of 6 times.

Now that leagues are going to 9 games that option is history.

Still, making money is the better option to saving money, and dividing the State in 3 in the name of saving money is a poor substitute to 3 or 4 money making roads games a year.

That’s a different subject altogether. We are talking about money saving with tech in SBC. But you can continue to deflect I guess

Absolutely.

If money saving was the goal there would have been an all out effort the last 25 years to play Tech each and every year. Not a red herring excuse only when an opening suddenly appeared.

The deflection is the brand new reason for their invite.

Their invite makes no sense in light of the ability to play them annually in every sport, OOC. Which there was no open effort to do so.

You will soon learn his selective grasp of facts plays a large part in his delusion.

I don't think that is quite fair, but I understand the frustration.

Besides my tangent on how to make more money, all I'm saying is the stated reason for Louisiana wanting them "IN" conference, namely "money savings" could have easily been accomplished out of conference.

The money savings have always been there (unused) for both schools and nothing prevented them from saving money annually.

Which selective fact do you not agree with?

It is a different subject (but not altogether different) my point being making more money is the antidote to 'needing' to save money.

Both should be pursued simultaneously.
