What are some questions you will ask BVDV?

Can we put the visitors back on the east side in football for all games

I would like to have an official word on Q4E. Something along the line of a specific goal date for completion of construction documents, groundbreaking ceremony, etc.

This is a good one. I emailed him way back when Fresno announced they were leaving the WAC about whether the conference would be changing that rule. He said he'd work on it. I'd be curious to know what's going on with that.

And this.

I would like to know when we will be USING the new end zone facility. Also, in light of BB's comment on facilities, I would like to know what types of improvement does Bruce see us doing.

Jimmy Watson had in his article friday morning that a formal groundbreaking is supposed to be next month...

Should proceed with that anyway. What is the WAC going to do, kick us out? (I know that is not the way to be but its the way I feel)

It doesn't have to be contentious. Until next year we are 1/7 of the WAC (in football). Propose the rule change, get the votes, problem corrected.

What's the plan going forward to move us into the top of CUSA? (i.e. budget, infrastructure, ticket sales, etc)

Tweets from BVDV's interview on The Tim Fletcher Show this morning:

What we learned today on The Tim Fletcher Show: @LATechSports AD, Bruce van de Velde says Shreveport/Bossier will host annual games (1 of 2)

(cont.)... Football/hoops/baseball all will play yearly in Shreve/Bossier. Also, when asked what plan B was if CUSA didn't work? "no plan B"

If this is the case then Shreveport better start doing something now about the state of Independence stadium and parking.

What is the status of Tech's scheduled home-and-home series with UL-Lafayette now that Tech will play Tulane every year for the foreseeable future?

Good questions, guys. The local media should pay attention. They could learn a few things.

Here's another: Exactly what were those "contingencies" or stipulations that CUSA has put on LA Tech that BVDV referenced in other interviews recently....but gave no details about?????
