In 1929, Louisiana State had a $500,000 budget. Huey blew it up net 5 fold to $3,000,000 in 1930. Throw in building their stadium masquerading as dorms/housing (my dad was one of the early residents) Huey’s self serving kingdom set itself up in perpetuity.

But in 1929, UL was SLI with likely under 5,000 students. Why wouldn't the governor at that time lend full support to the state university in the capital city? LSU got a huge step on every other state university, but they were all small regional colleges at that point. We can't compare UL today to 1929. Today, we should have 2 major universities like most states have, University of Louisiana and Louisiana State University, with proper funding for both and with all other universities feeder schools to both.
