Thread: Commuter Schools Defined

It's a function of the fact the majority of the students who go there can drive there so it makes it much more financially possible to attend 4 years of college because they can forgo paying to also live there. It's not a good excuse for why we can't seem to build a consistent student fan base for a phenomenal football program, but it is a factor and to deny it just because you don't like the connotation is just foolish.
    "can drive there" has never defined what a commuter school is. Never will.

    "No nearby housing" is what has always defined a commuter school.

    Only in your mind.

    Did you bother to read what a commuter school actually looks like?

    Did you bother to read what, Louisiana looks like?

    Did you read KajunKrazy's research? "6,351" undergraduate students.

    So that still explains why so few students at football games. Say half show up that's roughly 3100 people. I would think that's about right from what I remember from last year.

    Agree.

    For a half dozen years I have proposed Louisiana copies what Utah did with MUSS. (Mighty Utah Student Section)

    20 years ago their student section was empty. They established MUSS and now it constantly wins awards.

    The issue is not whether or not UL is a commuter school (which I think it clearly is), the issue is G5 football itself. Nobody cares about it. Not even when we're winning. With SEC football being played at a very high level 60 miles to the east, our football program is completely irrelevant to most casual fans in south Louisiana, and it's only going to get worse from here.

    ... not.

    Students at "commuter" schools have no choice, no options, no dorms.

    Students at "commuter" schools do not have mandatory on campus living for undergraduates.

    Students at Louisiana who commute, do so by choice, not by force.

    Students choosing to save money by driving to school (regardless of how many choose to do so) when there are thousands of available apartments in city limits, do not change the definition of UL not being a commuter school.

    LSU hasn't been playing at a high level.

    They have all played at a high level. They have not always won at that level.

    They've won three national championships in the recent era, produced a Heisman Trophy winner, and they've contended for the SEC West title almost every year. If that isn't a "high" level, what is? My point isn't how good LSU is, or is not, it's that it is very hard (if not impossible) for us to compete with the SEC for the casual football fan in our area, whether he commutes to school or not.

    Someone needs to inform the people who's job it is to contend with this issue at the school that Turbine has decided they are all wrong.
