Doubtful that many non traditional students will make their way over, but you are right, some might. Regardless, in a few years, those students will be supporting Tech as "their" school - especially new students coming in, IF we do this right.

As it stands right now - althetics WOULD NOT go away on the Shreveport campus - they will still compete at the NAIA level

I would be fine with it. Just change their colors to Red/Blue and mascot to Bulldogs/Techsters. Penn State does it like that.

Under what scenario? Are you saying that even with a full merger athletics would not go away, or that a full merger is unlikely and other scenarios would not do away with athletics?

I'm hoping they will eventually go away when all of the current commitments are exhausted!

So . . . . we gotta have another AD, another mbb coach, another compliance officer, another marketing director, another ticket manager, another QWESt. another.. . . . another, etc.?
Talk about having a bunch of "do not call" lists when dealing with S/BC merchants for ticket sales and advertising revenue.

Then we shouldn't do the deal......if we don't get control we shouldn't do it.

I don't believe that. You might end up being right for the short term due to their conference $$$ commitments or something. But all in all they should go away unless they do go to the Texas type system such as they did with UTD, UTSA, West Texas A&M, Texas A&M at Commerce etc...

There would be no comfort in knowing they would go the "UTSA" route.

We'd better do a good job of getting out in front on a name, or you can book that The Times, etc., will call it LTU-S, and we certainly don't want that. We fought the LTU battle 40 years ago, and don't need to have to do it again.

We already use "Tech-Barksdale". I image it will be called "Tech - Shreveport/Bossier" or "Louisiana Tech - Shreveport/Bossier"

Good point
